Spectral Efficiency of Multi-User Adaptive Cognitive Radio Networks
In this correspondence, the comprehensive problem of joint power, rate, and
subcarrier allocation have been investigated for enhancing the spectral
efficiency of multi-user orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA)
cognitive radio (CR) networks subject to satisfying total average transmission
power and aggregate interference constraints. We propose novel optimal radio
resource allocation (RRA) algorithms under different scenarios with
deterministic and probabilistic interference violation limits based on a
perfect and imperfect availability of cross-link channel state information
(CSI). In particular, we propose a probabilistic approach to mitigate the total
imposed interference on the primary service under imperfect cross-link CSI. A
closed-form mathematical formulation of the cumulative density function (cdf)
for the received signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) is formulated
to evaluate the resultant average spectral efficiency (ASE). Dual decomposition
is utilized to obtain sub-optimal solutions for the non-convex optimization
problems. Through simulation results, we investigate the achievable performance
and the impact of parameters uncertainty on the overall system performance.
Furthermore, we present that the developed RRA algorithms can considerably
improve the cognitive performance whilst abide the imposed power constraints.
In particular, the performance under imperfect cross-link CSI knowledge for the
proposed `probabilistic case' is compared to the conventional scenarios to show
the potential gain in employing this scheme
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
