Energy-efficiency for MISO-OFDMA based user-relay assisted cellular networks
The concept of improving energy-efficiency (EE) without sacrificing the service quality has become important nowadays. The combination of orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA) multi-antenna transmission technology and relaying is one of the key technologies to deliver the promise of reliable and high-data-rate coverage in the most cost-effective manner. In this paper, EE is studied for the downlink multiple-input single-output (MISO)-OFDMA based user-relay assisted cellular networks. EE maximization is formulated for decode and forward (DF) relaying scheme with the consideration of both transmit and circuit power consumption as well as the data rate requirements for the mobile users. The quality of-service (QoS)-constrained EE maximization, which is defined for multi-carrier, multi-user, multi-relay and multi-antenna networks, is a non-convex and combinatorial problem so it is hard to tackle. To solve this difficult problem, a radio resource management (RRM) algorithm that solves the subcarrier allocation, mode selection and power allocation separately is proposed. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by numerical results for different system parameter
Secure Beamforming For MIMO Broadcasting With Wireless Information And Power Transfer
This paper considers a basic MIMO information-energy (I-E) broadcast system,
where a multi-antenna transmitter transmits information and energy
simultaneously to a multi-antenna information receiver and a dual-functional
multi-antenna energy receiver which is also capable of decoding information.
Due to the open nature of wireless medium and the dual purpose of information
and energy transmission, secure information transmission while ensuring
efficient energy harvesting is a critical issue for such a broadcast system.
Assuming that physical layer security techniques are applied to the system to
ensure secure transmission from the transmitter to the information receiver, we
study beamforming design to maximize the achievable secrecy rate subject to a
total power constraint and an energy harvesting constraint. First, based on
semidefinite relaxation, we propose global optimal solutions to the secrecy
rate maximization (SRM) problem in the single-stream case and a specific
full-stream case where the difference of Gram matrices of the channel matrices
is positive semidefinite. Then, we propose a simple iterative algorithm named
inexact block coordinate descent (IBCD) algorithm to tackle the SRM problem of
general case with arbitrary number of streams. We proves that the IBCD
algorithm can monotonically converge to a Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) solution to
the SRM problem. Furthermore, we extend the IBCD algorithm to the joint
beamforming and artificial noise design problem. Finally, simulations are
performed to validate the performance of the proposed beamforming algorithms.Comment: Submitted to journal for possible publication. First submission to

Energy Efficient Coordinated Beamforming for Multi-cell MISO Systems
In this paper, we investigate the optimal energy efficient coordinated
beamforming in multi-cell multiple-input single-output (MISO) systems with
multiple-antenna base stations (BS) and single-antenna mobile stations
(MS), where each BS sends information to its own intended MS with cooperatively
designed transmit beamforming. We assume single user detection at the MS by
treating the interference as noise. By taking into account a realistic power
model at the BS, we characterize the Pareto boundary of the achievable energy
efficiency (EE) region of the links, where the EE of each link is defined
as the achievable data rate at the MS divided by the total power consumption at
the BS. Since the EE of each link is non-cancave (which is a non-concave
function over an affine function), characterizing this boundary is difficult.
To meet this challenge, we relate this multi-cell MISO system to cognitive
radio (CR) MISO channels by applying the concept of interference temperature
(IT), and accordingly transform the EE boundary characterization problem into a
set of fractional concave programming problems. Then, we apply the fractional
concave programming technique to solve these fractional concave problems, and
correspondingly give a parametrization for the EE boundary in terms of IT
levels. Based on this characterization, we further present a decentralized
algorithm to implement the multi-cell coordinated beamforming, which is shown
by simulations to achieve the EE Pareto boundary.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, to be presented in IEEE GLOBECOM 201
Optimal Beamforming for Physical Layer Security in MISO Wireless Networks
A wireless network of multiple transmitter-user pairs overheard by an
eavesdropper, where the transmitters are equipped with multiple antennas while
the users and eavesdropper are equipped with a single antenna, is considered.
At different levels of wireless channel knowledge, the problem of interest is
beamforming to optimize the users' quality-of-service (QoS) in terms of their
secrecy throughputs or maximize the network's energy efficiency under users'
QoS. All these problems are seen as very difficult optimization problems with
many nonconvex constraints and nonlinear equality constraints in beamforming
vectors. The paper develops path-following computational procedures of
low-complexity and rapid convergence for the optimal beamforming solution.
Their practicability is demonstrated through numerical examples
