Resource Allocation for Energy-Efficient 3-Way Relay Channels
Throughput and energy efficiency in 3-way relay channels are studied in this
paper. Unlike previous contributions, we consider a circular message exchange.
First, an outer bound and achievable sum rate expressions for different
relaying protocols are derived for 3-way relay channels. The sum capacity is
characterized for certain SNR regimes. Next, leveraging the derived achievable
sum rate expressions, cooperative and competitive maximization of the energy
efficiency are considered. For the cooperative case, both low-complexity and
globally optimal algorithms for joint power allocation at the users and at the
relay are designed so as to maximize the system global energy efficiency. For
the competitive case, a game theoretic approach is taken, and it is shown that
the best response dynamics is guaranteed to converge to a Nash equilibrium. A
power consumption model for mmWave board-to-board communications is developed,
and numerical results are provided to corroborate and provide insight on the
theoretical findings.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication
Dynamic Power Splitting Policies for AF Relay Networks with Wireless Energy Harvesting
Wireless energy harvesting (WEH) provides an exciting way to supply energy
for relay nodes to forward information for the source-destination pairs. In
this paper, we investigate the problem on how the relay node dynamically
adjusts the power splitting ratio of information transmission (IT) and energy
harvesting (EH) in order to achieve the optimal outage performance. According
to the knowledge of channel state information (CSI) at the relay, optimal
dynamic power splitting policy with full CSI and partial CSI are both provided.
Finally, through simulations, the proposed power splitting policies can improve
the outage performances and the policy with full CSI achieves the best
performance. It is also shown that the policy with partial CSI can approach the
policy with full CSI closely and incurs far less system overhead.Comment: accepted by IEEE ICC 2015 - Workshop on Green Communications and
