Sum-Rate Maximization in Two-Way AF MIMO Relaying: Polynomial Time Solutions to a Class of DC Programming Problems
Sum-rate maximization in two-way amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) relaying belongs to the class of difference-of-convex
functions (DC) programming problems. DC programming problems occur as well in
other signal processing applications and are typically solved using different
modifications of the branch-and-bound method. This method, however, does not
have any polynomial time complexity guarantees. In this paper, we show that a
class of DC programming problems, to which the sum-rate maximization in two-way
MIMO relaying belongs, can be solved very efficiently in polynomial time, and
develop two algorithms. The objective function of the problem is represented as
a product of quadratic ratios and parameterized so that its convex part (versus
the concave part) contains only one (or two) optimization variables. One of the
algorithms is called POlynomial-Time DC (POTDC) and is based on semi-definite
programming (SDP) relaxation, linearization, and an iterative search over a
single parameter. The other algorithm is called RAte-maximization via
Generalized EigenvectorS (RAGES) and is based on the generalized eigenvectors
method and an iterative search over two (or one, in its approximate version)
optimization variables. We also derive an upper-bound for the optimal values of
the corresponding optimization problem and show by simulations that this
upper-bound can be achieved by both algorithms. The proposed methods for
maximizing the sum-rate in the two-way AF MIMO relaying system are shown to be
superior to other state-of-the-art algorithms.Comment: 35 pages, 10 figures, Submitted to the IEEE Trans. Signal Processing

Globally Optimal Energy-Efficient Power Control and Receiver Design in Wireless Networks
The characterization of the global maximum of energy efficiency (EE) problems
in wireless networks is a challenging problem due to the non-convex nature of
investigated problems in interference channels. The aim of this work is to
develop a new and general framework to achieve globally optimal solutions.
First, the hidden monotonic structure of the most common EE maximization
problems is exploited jointly with fractional programming theory to obtain
globally optimal solutions with exponential complexity in the number of network
links. To overcome this issue, we also propose a framework to compute
suboptimal power control strategies characterized by affordable complexity.
This is achieved by merging fractional programming and sequential optimization.
The proposed monotonic framework is used to shed light on the ultimate
performance of wireless networks in terms of EE and also to benchmark the
performance of the lower-complexity framework based on sequential programming.
Numerical evidence is provided to show that the sequential fractional
programming framework achieves global optimality in several practical
communication scenarios.Comment: Accepted for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Signal

A Global Optimization Algorithm for Sum of Linear Ratios Problem
We equivalently transform the sum of linear ratios programming problem into bilinear programming problem, then by using the linear characteristics of convex envelope and concave envelope of double variables product function, linear relaxation programming of the bilinear programming problem is given, which can determine the lower bound of the optimal value of original problem. Therefore, a branch and bound algorithm for solving sum of linear ratios programming problem is put forward, and the convergence of the algorithm is proved. Numerical experiments are reported to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm
