In this paper, we investigate the energy-aware data- offloading of mobile user (MU) which schedules its traffic demand to a macro Base Station (BS) and a small-cell access point (AP) simultaneously. For saving the usage of licensed spectrum, we consider that the MU uses unlicensed spectrum to offload data. The open access of unlicensed spectrum, however, results in that the MU's data offloading suffer from uncontrollable interference, which comprises the benefit of data offloading. We propose an outage-probability to quantify such an adverse influence and formulate a joint rate-splitting and power allocation problem to minimize a system-wise cost accounting for both the MU's power consumption and the BS's licensed channel usage. Despite the non-convexity of the joint optimization problem, we transform it into three rate- allocation problems under different cases and derive the respective optimal solutions, which yield the globally optimal solution for the original problem. Numerical results are provided to validate the optimal offloading-solution.
