A Survey of Recent Advances in Optimization Methods for Wireless Communications

Understand

Mathematical optimization is now widely regarded as an indispensable modeling and solution tool for the design of wireless communications systems.

• While optimization has played a significant role in the revolutionary progress in wireless communication and networking technologies from 1G to 5G and onto the future 6G, the innovations in wireless technologies have also substantially transformed the nature of the underlying mathematical optimization problems upon which the system designs are based and have sparked significant innovations in the development of methodologies to understand, to analyze, and to solve those problems.
• In this paper, we provide a comprehensive survey of recent advances in mathematical optimization theory and algorithms for wireless communication system design.
• We begin by illustrating common features of mathematical optimization problems arising in wireless communication system design.
