Resource allocation for multiuser two-way OFDMA relay networks with user rate constraints

This paper studies the resource allocation for a multi-user two-way amplify-and-forward (AF) relay network over orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) technology,where all users communicate with their pre-assigned partners.Using convex optimization techniques,an optimal solution tominimize the total transmit power while satisfy each user-pair’s data rate requirements is proposed.We divide the resource allocation problem into two subproblems:(1) power optimization within user-pair and relay in each subcarrier.(2) optimal subcarrier allocation and sum power assignment among N parallel OFDM subcarriers.Closed-form expressions of the power among user-pair and relay can be obtained in subproblem (1),and so the proposed algorithm decreases the variable dimensionality of the objective function to reduce the complexity of this optimization problem.To solve it,a three-step suboptimal approach is proposed to assign the resources to user-pairs:Firstly,decompose each user-pair into two sub user-pairs which have one-way and two-way relaying transmission modes.Secondly,allocate the subcarriers to the new mode user-pairs and assign the transmit power to each carrier.Thirdly,distribute the assigned power to three nodes allocated in the subcarrier.Simulation results demonstrate the significant power is saved with the proposed solutions,as compared to a fixed subcarrier allocation.     

Optimal simultaneous wireless information and energy transfer in OFDMA decode-and-forward relay networks

In this paper, we consider simultaneous wireless information and energy transfer in an orthogonal-frequency-division-multiple-access decode-and-forward relay network, in which an energy-constrained relay node harvests energy from a source node and uses the harvested energy to forward information to multiple destination nodes. Our objective is to maximize the end-to-end sum rate by resource allocation, subject to transmit power constraint at the source and energy-harvesting (EH) constraint at the relay. A non-convex and mixed-integer programming (MIP) problem is formulated to optimize time-switching (TS) ratios of EH and information decoding at the relay, TS ratio of information transmission from relay to destinations, subcarrier allocation as well as power allocation (PA) over all subcarriers at source and relay. We propose to decouple this problem into a convex problem and an MIP problem in fractional form. To solve the MIP problem, we transform it into an equivalent optimization problem in subtractive form which has a tractable solution. As a result, we propose a novel scheme to achieve jointly optimal TS ratios, subcarrier allocation and PA. Simulation results verify the optimality of our proposed resource allocation scheme.

Optimal resource allocation for multiple network‐coded two‐way relay in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems

This paper studies optimal resource allocation for multiple network‐coded two‐way relay in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems. All the two‐way relay nodes adopt amplify‐and‐forward and operate with analog network coding protocol. A joint optimization problem considering power allocation, relay selection, and subcarrier pairing to maximize the sum capacity under individual power constraints at each transmitter or total network power constraint is first formulated. By applying dual method, we provide a unified optimization framework to solve this problem. With this framework, we further propose three low‐complexity suboptimal algorithms. The complexity of the proposed optimal resource allocation (ORA) algorithm and three suboptimal algorithms are analyzed, and it is shown that the complexity of ORA is only a polynomial function of the number of subcarriers and relay nodes under both individual and total power constraints. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed ORA scheme yields substantial performance improvement over a baseline scheme, and suboptimal algorithms can achieve a trade‐off between performance and complexity. The results also indicate that with the same total network transmit power, the performance of ORA under total power constraint can outperform that under individual power constraints.

Joint subcarrier and power allocation for uplink relay‐enhanced OFDM systems

There has been a lot of research works considering the resource allocation of the downlink multihop orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems. However, due to the distributed nature of the uplink power constraints, the resource allocation in the uplink multihop systems, where multiple mobile stations transmit to one base station with the aid of one or many relay stations, has much difference and has not been well investigated so far. In this paper, we originally study the joint subcarrier and power allocation problem for the uplink dual‐hop transmission with the aim to maximize the system transmit rate. The resource allocation problem is approximated to be a concave maximization problem. By using mathematical decomposition techniques, the problem is first decoupled and solved by the proposed near‐optimal method, which has low‐computation complexity. Then, our algorithm is extended to the case with subcarrier matching on the dual hops. Numerical results show that our proposed algorithm improves the system transmission rate. Compared with the equal power allocation schemes, our algorithm can achieve significant gain in system transmit rate. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Secure resource allocation in hybrid energy-harvesting relay and full-duplex receiver

Taking into account the wireless physical layer security in energy-constrained relaying systems,a secure resource allocation scheme was proposed under simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) protocol.The utility optimization problem was considered aiming to maximize the secrecy rate by jointly optimizing the power splitting (PS) ratio and the transmit powers under the constraint of the transmit powers of the nodes and the harvested energy of the relay.The objective problem,which is non-convex,was decoupled into two subproblems.One was to optimize the PS ratio,another was to optimize the transmit powers.The optimal solution of the subproblems can be obtained in the closed-form.Then,the suboptimal solution is obtained with the proposed convergent iterative algorithm.Simulation results show the effects of artificial noise signal,residual self-interference signal,transmit power of nodes,amplification factor of relay and other factors on the security performance.Compared with the traditional gradient descent algorithm,the proposed algorithm can reduce more than 80% of the computational load,while the algorithm has the slightly better performance.     

Resource Allocation for Decode-and-Forward Relaying Assisted Multi-cell Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Systems with Frequency Planning

In this paper we apply frequency planning to the resource allocation of multi-cell and multi-user relay enhanced orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems and propose a low-complexity algorithm taking into account of interference coordination, subcarrier and power allocation. We divide each cell into three sectors and allow different subcarrier set that can be used by the users of one sector. Such a method can help to increase the distance among users that use the same subcarriers of adjacent cells, which can reduce the impact of co-channel interference to a certain extent. Therefore, the original problem can be decoupled into three independent sub-problems by means of frequency dividing and adaptive power allocation at base station nodes which can reduce the computing complexity greatly. In the process of resource allocation for single sector, the relationship of transmission power between base station and relay node is used to transform the max-min problem into standard closed expression. With the help of dual decomposition approach, water-filling theorem and iterative power allocation algorithm, the suboptimal solution of the primal problem can be achieved finally. Simulation results illustrate that our proposed algorithm achieves almost the same performance as the optimal resource allocation and reduce the computing complexity greatly. In addition, the proposed algorithm can ensure the users fairness of different sectors.     

Resource allocation in MIMO‐OFDM‐based cooperative cognitive radio networks: optimal and suboptimal low complexity approaches

The problem of resources allocation in multiple‐input multiple‐output‐orthogonal frequency division multiplexing based cooperative cognitive radio networks is considered, in this paper. The cooperation strategy between the secondary users is decode‐and‐forward (DF) strategy. In order to obtain an optimal subcarrier pairing, relay selection and power allocation in the system, the dual decomposition technique is recruited. The optimal resource allocation is realized under the individual power constraints in source and relays so that the sum rate is maximized while the interference induced to the primary system is kept below a pre‐specified interference temperature limit. Moreover, because of the high computational complexity of the optimal approach, a suboptimal algorithm is further proposed. The jointly allocation of the resources in suboptimal algorithm is carried out taking into account the channel qualities, the DF cooperation strategy, the interference induced to the primary system and the individual power budgets. The performance of the different approaches and the impact of the constraint values and deploying multiple antennas at users are discussed through the numerical simulation results.
