      Algorithm joint optimization
      1. Define the accuracy tolerance σ. Initialize power{pu,i(0)}, set initial location{xu(0),yu(0),hu},iteration number t=0
      2. Repeat
      3. Set p=pu,i(t), solve problem (19), find the optimal location coordinate increment parameters{δ(*),σ(*),0}, update location coordinatexu(t+1)=xu(t)+δ(t)yu(t+1)=yu(t)+σ(t)hu(t+1)=hu(t)
      4. Find optimal power {pu,i(*)}, updatepu,i(t+1)=pu,i(*)
      5. Update t+1t
      6. Until the objective function converges
