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
Enabling non-linear energy harvesting in power domain based multiple access in relaying networks: Outage and ergodic capacity performance analysis
The Power Domain-based Multiple Access (PDMA) scheme is considered as one kind of Non-Orthogonal Multiple Access (NOMA) in green communications and can support energy-limited devices by employing wireless power transfer. Such a technique is known as a lifetime-expanding solution for operations in future access policy, especially in the deployment of power-constrained relays for a three-node dual-hop system. In particular, PDMA and energy harvesting are considered as two communication concepts, which are jointly investigated in this paper. However, the dual-hop relaying network system is a popular model assuming an ideal linear energy harvesting circuit, as in recent works, while the practical system situation motivates us to concentrate on another protocol, namely non-linear energy harvesting. As important results, a closed-form formula of outage probability and ergodic capacity is studied under a practical non-linear energy harvesting model. To explore the optimal system performance in terms of outage probability and ergodic capacity, several main parameters including the energy harvesting coefficients, position allocation of each node, power allocation factors, and transmit signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) are jointly considered. To provide insights into the performance, the approximate expressions for the ergodic capacity are given. By matching analytical and Monte Carlo simulations, the correctness of this framework can be examined. With the observation of the simulation results, the figures also show that the performance of energy harvesting-aware PDMA systems under the proposed model can satisfy the requirements in real PDMA applications.Web of Science87art. no. 81
Securing Downlink Massive MIMO-NOMA Networks with Artificial Noise
In this paper, we focus on securing the confidential information of massive
multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA)
networks by exploiting artificial noise (AN). An uplink training scheme is
first proposed with minimum mean squared error estimation at the base station.
Based on the estimated channel state information, the base station precodes the
confidential information and injects the AN. Following this, the ergodic
secrecy rate is derived for downlink transmission. An asymptotic secrecy
performance analysis is also carried out for a large number of transmit
antennas and high transmit power at the base station, respectively, to
highlight the effects of key parameters on the secrecy performance of the
considered system. Based on the derived ergodic secrecy rate, we propose the
joint power allocation of the uplink training phase and downlink transmission
phase to maximize the sum secrecy rates of the system. Besides, from the
perspective of security, another optimization algorithm is proposed to maximize
the energy efficiency. The results show that the combination of massive MIMO
technique and AN greatly benefits NOMA networks in term of the secrecy
performance. In addition, the effects of the uplink training phase and
clustering process on the secrecy performance are revealed. Besides, the
proposed optimization algorithms are compared with other baseline algorithms
through simulations, and their superiority is validated. Finally, it is shown
that the proposed system outperforms the conventional massive MIMO orthogonal
multiple access in terms of the secrecy performance
Optimal Power Allocation by Imperfect Hardware Analysis in Untrusted Relaying Networks
By taking a variety of realistic hardware imperfections into consideration,
we propose an optimal power allocation (OPA) strategy to maximize the
instantaneous secrecy rate of a cooperative wireless network comprised of a
source, a destination and an untrusted amplify-and-forward (AF) relay. We
assume that either the source or the destination is equipped with a large-scale
multiple antennas (LSMA) system, while the rest are equipped with a single
antenna. To prevent the untrusted relay from intercepting the source message,
the destination sends an intended jamming noise to the relay, which is referred
to as destination-based cooperative jamming (DBCJ). Given this system model,
novel closed-form expressions are presented in the high signal-to-noise ratio
(SNR) regime for the ergodic secrecy rate (ESR) and the secrecy outage
probability (SOP). We further improve the secrecy performance of the system by
optimizing the associated hardware design. The results reveal that by
beneficially distributing the tolerable hardware imperfections across the
transmission and reception radio-frequency (RF) front ends of each node, the
system's secrecy rate may be improved. The engineering insight is that equally
sharing the total imperfections at the relay between the transmitter and the
receiver provides the best secrecy performance. Numerical results illustrate
that the proposed OPA together with the most appropriate hardware design
significantly increases the secrecy rate.Comment: 29 pages, 7 figures, Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Wireless
