How does a base station work?

As shown in Figure S3 each user accesses a base station, and the BS then allocates a channel to each new user when there is remaining channel capacity. If all of the channel capacity of a BS is occupied, a user cannot access this BS and must instead access another BS that is farther away.

What is a BS in energy management?

The MG is managed by an energy management controllers (EMCs) that coordinates the dispatch of energy in the MG by interacting with information from other EMCs. This information can be interacted with through a communication network. Therefore, BSs are the main intermediaries between communication and energy systems.

What is the access mechanism between EMCs and BSS?

To describe the access mechanism between the EMCs and the BSs, we introduce an N b s × N m g connection matrix A, where N m g is the EMCs number and N b s is the number of power towers which is also the number of candidate locations for base stations. It is not necessary for all power towers to be selected as communication power sharing towers.

Do heterogeneous BS channel allocation strategies exist for different users?

Secondly, this study lacks of exploration regarding the heterogeneous BS channel allocation strategies for different users. In practice, users within a communication network often exhibit diverse requirements and characteristics, and their BS channel allocation needs may vary accordingly.

How many Bs can an EMC access?

Constraint (6) means that each EMC can access only one BS. Constraint (7) means that the number of EMCs accessing BS n is equal to the total state variables of the n th column of the matrix A. The capacity of each BS is D c a p.
