Abstract
Many mission-critical and latency-sensitive applications require ultra-reliable and low-latency communications(URLLC), which has been listed as a new service category of 5GNew Radio (NR). To guarantee stringent latency and reliability constraints, URLLC services always exclusively occupy the spectrum and have priority over enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB)communications in the current coexistence scenario, which will greatly affect the performance of eMBB services and degrade the utilization efficiency of the spectrum resource. On the other hand, millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications can fulfill thee normous throughput requirements of 5G cellular communications. In this paper, we introduce mmWave communications into URLLC systems to provide a more efficient coexistence for eMBB and URLLC. A novel mmWave URLLC system is first developed, where URLLC users are allowed to share the spectrum resources with eMBB users. Besides, multi-connectivity technology, which enables users to access multiple base stations simultaneously, is introduced to the mmWave URLLC system to enhance the reliability. Then, a resource management problem is formulated, which maximizes the throughput of eMBB users while guaranteeing the latency and reliability requirements of URLLC users. To obtain optimal solutions, we first divide it into three subproblems, i.e., power allocation, resource matching, and user paring, and then solve them respectively. Simulation results demonstrate the data rate improvement compared against the traditional coexistence scenario without reusing strategy. Moreover, the multi-connectivity functionality poses a great effect on guaranteeing the latency and reliability requirements for URLLC users.
