Adaptive Power Allocation and Control in Time-Varying Multi-Carrier MIMO Networks
In this paper, we examine the fundamental trade-off between radiated power
and achieved throughput in wireless multi-carrier, multiple-input and
multiple-output (MIMO) systems that vary with time in an unpredictable fashion
(e.g. due to changes in the wireless medium or the users' QoS requirements).
Contrary to the static/stationary channel regime, there is no optimal power
allocation profile to target (either static or in the mean), so the system's
users must adapt to changes in the environment "on the fly", without being able
to predict the system's evolution ahead of time. In this dynamic context, we
formulate the users' power/throughput trade-off as an online optimization
problem and we provide a matrix exponential learning algorithm that leads to no
regret - i.e. the proposed transmit policy is asymptotically optimal in
hindsight, irrespective of how the system evolves over time. Furthermore, we
also examine the robustness of the proposed algorithm under imperfect channel
state information (CSI) and we show that it retains its regret minimization
properties under very mild conditions on the measurement noise statistics. As a
result, users are able to track the evolution of their individually optimum
transmit profiles remarkably well, even under rapidly changing network
conditions and high uncertainty. Our theoretical analysis is validated by
extensive numerical simulations corresponding to a realistic network deployment
and providing further insights in the practical implementation aspects of the
proposed algorithm.Comment: 25 pages, 4 figure
Review on Radio Resource Allocation Optimization in LTE/LTE-Advanced using Game Theory
Recently, there has been a growing trend toward ap-plying game theory (GT) to various engineering fields in order to solve optimization problems with different competing entities/con-tributors/players. Researches in the fourth generation (4G) wireless network field also exploited this advanced theory to overcome long term evolution (LTE) challenges such as resource allocation, which is one of the most important research topics. In fact, an efficient de-sign of resource allocation schemes is the key to higher performance. However, the standard does not specify the optimization approach to execute the radio resource management and therefore it was left open for studies. This paper presents a survey of the existing game theory based solution for 4G-LTE radio resource allocation problem and its optimization
Resource allocation in networks via coalitional games
The main goal of this dissertation is to manage resource allocation in network
engineering problems and to introduce efficient cooperative algorithms to obtain high performance, ensuring fairness and stability. Specifically, this dissertation introduces
new approaches for resource allocation in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) wireless networks and in smart power grids by casting the problems to the coalitional game framework and by providing a constructive iterative algorithm based on dynamic learning theory.
