This paper addresses the design of multiuser MIMO amplify-and-forward relaying within a cloud radio access network (C-RAN) from an energy-efficiency perspective. The aim is to jointly select remote radio heads and optimize their transceiver in order to assist the communication between multiple source-destination pairs. We formulate the design problem as an interference leakage minimization subject to per-relay power constraints along with linear signal preserving constraints at the destinations. To obtain an energy efficient relaying solution, the objective function is penalized with a regularization term which promotes group-sparsity among the resultant relaying weights. A low-complexity iterative algorithm based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) is then proposed to solve the regularized problem. Simulation results demonstrate the explicit benefits of the proposed algorithm, which results in notably lower power consumption and computational complexity than conventional relaying design methods.
