Multi-Criteria Radio Spectrum Sharing With Subspace-Based Pareto Tracing

Radio spectrum is a high-demand finite resource. To meet growing demands of data throughput for forthcoming and deployed wireless networks, new wireless technologies must operate in shared spectrum over unlicensed bands (coexist). As an example application, we consider a model of Long-Term Evolution (LTE) License-Assisted Access (LAA) with incumbent IEEE 802.11 wireless-fidelity (Wi-Fi) systems in a coexistence scenario. This scenario considers multiple LAA and Wi-Fi links sharing an unlicensed band; however, a multitude of other scenarios could be applicable to our general approach. We aim to improve coexistence by maximizing the key performance indicators (KPIs) of two networks simultaneously via dimension reduction and multi-criteria optimization. These KPIs are network throughputs as a function of medium access control (MAC) protocols and physical layer parameters. We perform an exploratory analysis of coexistence behavior by approximating active subspaces to identify low-dimensional structure in the optimization criteria, i.e., few linear combinations of parameters for simultaneously maximizing LAA and Wi-Fi throughputs. We take advantage of an aggregate low-dimensional subspace parametrized by approximate active subspaces of both throughputs to regularize a multi-criteria optimization. Additionally, a choice of two-dimensional subspace enables visualizations augmenting interpretability and explainability of the results. The visualizations and approximations suggest a predominantly convex set of KPIs over active coordinates leading to a regularized manifold of approximately Pareto optimal solutions. Subsequent geodesics lead to continuous traces through parameter space constituting non-dominated solutions in contrast to random grid search.
