OFDMA分布式无线接入网络中基于共享标准的资源分布研究

Distributed radio access network (DRAN) is a novel wireless access architecture and can solve the problem of the available spectrum scarcity in wireless communications. In this paper, we investigate resource allocation for the downlink of OFDMA DRAN. Unlike previous exclusive criterion based algorithms that allocate each subcarrier to only one user in the system, the proposed algorithms are based on shared criterion that allow each subcarrier to be allocated to multiple users through different antennas and to only one user through same antenna. First, an adaptive resource allocation algorithm based on shared criterion is proposed to maximize total system rate under each user’s minimal rate and each antenna’s maximal power constraints. Then we improve the above algorithm by considering the influence of the resource allocation scheme on single user. The simulation results show that the shared criterion based algorithm provide much higher total system rate than that of the exclusive criterion based algorithm at the expense of the outage performance and the fairness, while the improved algorithm based on shared criterion can achieve a good tradeoff performance.

Pre‐filtering technique for MAI cancellation in MC‐CDMA systems

Multicarrier code division multiple access (MC‐CDMA), is a promising multiplexing technique for future communication systems. In this study, we employ the well‐known Walsh‐Hadamard spreading codes for synchronous downlink transmission of MC‐CDMA systems. The spreading codes allow that the frequency diversity to be efficiently exploited. However, multipath propagation may cause orthogonality among users is distorted, and this distortion produces multiple access interference (MAI). To eliminate this effect, we propose a pre‐filtering‐based MC‐CDMA system which uses a pre‐filtering technique at the transmitter and an equal gain combining (EGC) scheme at the receivers, respectively. Our proposed pre‐filtering technique transforms the transmitted signals so that the MAI can be eliminated, and the EGC scheme weights the signals received from all subcarriers so that channel distortions can be compensated. Furthermore, the proposed technique can calculate the transmitted power over all subcarriers to satisfy the required quality of service of each user and archive MAI‐free. In this paper, performance in terms of bit error rate is analyzed; in comparison with the EGC, orthogonal restoring combining, and maximal ratio combining schemes at receiver, respectively.

Blind Adaptive Multiuser Detection for the MC‐CDMA Systems Using Orthogonalized Subspace Tracking

In this paper, we study the performance of subspace‐based multiuser detection techniques for multicarrier code‐division multiple access (MC‐CDMA) systems. We propose an improvement in the PASTd algorithm by cascading it with the classical Gram‐Schmidt procedure to orthonormalize the eigenvectors after their sequential extraction. The tracking of signal subspace using this algorithm, which we call OPASTd, has a faster convergence as the eigenvectors are orthonormalized at each discrete time sample. This improved PASTd algorithm is then used to implement the subspace blind adaptive multiuser detection for MC‐CDMA. We also show that, for multiuser detection, the complexity of the proposed scheme is lower than that of many other orthogonalization schemes found in the literature. Extensive simulation results are presented and discussed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed scheme.     

Low‐Power‐Adaptive MC‐CDMA Receiver Architecture

This paper proposes a novel concept of adjusting the hardware size in a multi‐carrier code division multiple access (MC‐CDMA) receiver in real time as per the channel parameters such as delay spread, signal‐to‐noise ratio, transmission rate, and Doppler frequency. The fast Fourier transform (FFT) or inverse FFT (IFFT) size in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)/MC‐CDMA transceivers varies from 1024 points to 16 points. Two low‐power reconfigurable radix‐4 256‐point FFT processor architectures are proposed that can also be dynamically configured as 64‐point and 16‐point as per the channel parameters to prove the concept. By tailoring the clock of the higher FFT stages for longer FFTs and switching to shorter FFTs from longer FFTs, significant power saving is achieved. In addition, two 256 sub‐carrier MC‐CDMA receiver architectures are proposed which can also be configured for 64 sub‐carriers in real time to prove the feasibility of the concept over the whole receiver.     

Green Resource Allocation for Multiple OFDMA Based Networks: A Survey

Orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) is a popular and widely accepted multiple access technique to provide high data rate services in a mobile environment in the area of wireless communications. OFDMA can provide better flexibility in allocating the radio spectra by utilizing subcarrier allocations, scheduling, and energy control to obtain multi-dimension diversity gains. Due to its resource allocation flexibility, OFDMA has been widely used as a green air interface technology for the emerging broadband wireless access networks. This paper extensively addresses the integration of green OFDMA to the future air interface technologies, for instance:two-tier cellular, multi radio access technologies (RATs), FemtoCell, and relay networks. The main focus of the paper is to review and analyze the current OFDMA techniques to address the green resource allocation in multiuser diversity, where the critical constraints are the computational complexity, energy efficiency, and the sub-channel assignment. The future trend of OFDMA based networks will aim to maximize the energy efficiency of the exclusive channel assignment through a joint sub-channel and power allocation to accommodate high data traffic networks specially the relay based 5G cellular networks.

QoS‐based space‐frequency prefiltering for TDD MC‐CDMA systems in slowly time‐varying channels

This work presents a space‐frequency prefiltering scheme for slowly time‐varying TDD MC‐CDMA downlink communications with multiple antennas at the base station (BS). Unlike the conventional spatially uncorrelated block fading channel model, both channel variation in each packet and spatial correlation are considered in the design. In the TDD mode, the mobile terminals (MTs) transmit training signals at the end of each uplink packet. In the following downlink packet, the BS computes the signal weights on different antennas and subcarriers for each MT in each symbol period based on the channel state predicted from the received training signals. The goal is to minimize the total required transmit power while keeping the received signal‐to‐interference‐plus‐noise ratio (SINR) as the target for each MT. Moreover, the maximum packet length for satisfying the SINR requirements has been determined. The results indicate that the total required transmit power can be reduced by a lower mobile speed or more BS antennas. As a result, the maximum packet length can be extended in virtue of the power reduction. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Toward the Energy Efficiency of Resource Allocation Algorithms for OFDMA Downlink MIMO Systems

The problem of the simultaneous multi-user resource allocation algorithm in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) based systems has recently attracted significant interest. However, most studies focus on maximizing the system throughput and spectral efficiency. As the green radio is essential in 5G and future networks, the energy efficiency becomes the major concern. In this paper, we develop four resource allocation schemes in the downlink OFDMA network and the main focus is on analyzing the energy efficiency of these schemes. Specifically, we employ the advanced multi-antenna technology in a multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) system. The first scheme is based on transmit spatial diversity (TSD), in which the vector channel with the highest gain between the base station (BTS) and specific antenna at the remote terminal (RT) is chosen for transmission. The second scheme further employs spatial multiplexing on the MIMO system to enhance the throughput. The space-division multiple-access (SDMA) scheme assigns single subcarrier simultaneously to RTs with pairwise “nearly orthogonal” spatial signatures. In the fourth scheme, we propose to design the transmit beamformers based on the zero-forcing (ZF) criterion such that the multi-user interference (MUI) is completely removed. We analyze the tradeoff between the throughput and power consumption and compare the performance of these schemes in terms of the energy efficiency.     

Adaptive Radio Resource Allocation for a Mobile Packet Service in Multibeam Satellite Systems

In this paper, we introduce an adaptive radio resource allocation for IP‐based mobile satellite services. We also present a synchronous multibeam CDMA satellite system using an orthogonal resource sharing mechanism among downlink beams for the adaptive packet transmission. The simulation results, using a Ka‐band mobile satellite channel and various packet scheduling schemes, show that the proposed system and resource allocation scheme improves the beam throughput by more than two times over conventional systems. The simulation results also show that, in multibeam satellite systems, a system‐level adaptation to a user's channel and interference conditions according to user locations and current packet traffic is more efficient in terms of throughput improvement than a user‐level adaptation.

An Adaptive Hot‐Spot Operating Scheme for OFDMA Downlink Systems in Vertically Overlaid Cellular Architecture

In vertically overlaid cellular systems, a temporary traffic concentration can occur in a hot‐spot area, and this adversely affects overall system capacity. In this paper, we develop an adaptive hot‐spot operating scheme (AHOS) to mitigate the negative effects from the nonuniform distribution of user location and the variation in the mixture of QoS requirements in orthogonal frequency division multiple access downlink systems. Here, the base station in a macrocell can control the operation of picocells within the cell, and turns them on or off according to the system overload estimation function. In order to determine whether the set of picocells is turned on or off, we define an AHOS gain index that describes the number of subcarriers saved to the macrocell by turning a specific picocell on. For initiating the picocell OFF procedure, we utilize the changes in traffic concentration and co‐channel interference to the neighboring cells. According to computer simulation, the AHOS has been proved to have maximize system throughput while maintaining a very low QoS outage probability under various system scenarios in both a single‐cell and multi‐cell environments.     

Radio resource metric estimation for a TDD‐CDMA system supporting wireless internet traffic

In this paper, the effect of wireless internet traffic on the functionality of a radio resource metric estimation (RME) applicable to a TDD‐CDMA system which incorporates a multirate transmission scheme (such as multicode and multislot) with simple call admission control algorithm is investigated. A solution for efficient inter‐working between the physical layer and the higher layers is proposed, a resource metric mapping function (RMMF) that can deliver information about the state of the current channel load condition by the monitoring of signal‐to‐interference ratio (SIR) bursts and also the availability of a code pool by estimating the mean and the standard deviation of SIR bursts. This function is defined and demonstrated by means of an average raw BER mapping diagram as a function of the mean and the standard deviation of SIR bursts according to the multirate transmission method. By using this kind of mapping function combined with throughput estimation, the radio resource allocation algorithm can successfully reflect the current interference and mobile radio channel characteristics.
