A Survey on Delay-Aware Resource Control for Wireless Systems --- Large Deviation Theory, Stochastic Lyapunov Drift and Distributed Stochastic Learning
In this tutorial paper, a comprehensive survey is given on several major
systematic approaches in dealing with delay-aware control problems, namely the
equivalent rate constraint approach, the Lyapunov stability drift approach and
the approximate Markov Decision Process (MDP) approach using stochastic
learning. These approaches essentially embrace most of the existing literature
regarding delay-aware resource control in wireless systems. They have their
relative pros and cons in terms of performance, complexity and implementation
issues. For each of the approaches, the problem setup, the general solution and
the design methodology are discussed. Applications of these approaches to
delay-aware resource allocation are illustrated with examples in single-hop
wireless networks. Furthermore, recent results regarding delay-aware multi-hop
routing designs in general multi-hop networks are elaborated. Finally, the
delay performance of the various approaches are compared through simulations
using an example of the uplink OFDMA systems.Comment: 58 pages, 8 figures; IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 201
Power Allocation for Adaptive OFDM Index Modulation in Cooperative Networks
In this paper, we propose a power allocation strategy for the adaptive
orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) index modulation (IM) in
cooperative networks. The allocation strategy is based on the
Karush-Kuhn-Tucker (KKT) conditions, and aims at maximizing the average network
capacity according to the instantaneous channel state information (CSI). As the
transmit power at source and relay is constrained separately, we can thus
formulate an optimization problem by allocating power to active subcarriers.
Compared to the conventional uniform power allocation strategy, the proposed
dynamic strategy can lead to a higher average network capacity, especially in
the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region. The analysis is also verified by
numerical results produced by Monte Carlo simulations. By applying the proposed
power allocation strategy, the efficiency of adaptive OFDM IM can be enhanced
in practice, which paves the way for its implementation in the future,
especially for cell-edge communications
