Iterative Mode-Dropping for the Sum Capacity of MIMO-MAC with Per-Antenna Power Constraint
We propose an iterative mode-dropping algorithm that optimizes input signals
to achieve the sum capacity of the MIMO-MAC with per-antenna power constraint.
The algorithm successively optimizes each user's input covariance matrix by
applying mode-dropping to the equivalent single-user MIMO rate maximization
problem. Both analysis and simulation show fast convergence. We then use the
algorithm to briefly highlight the difference in MIMO-MAC capacities under sum
and per-antenna power constraints.Comment: 6 pages double-column, 5 figure
Optimal Energy Allocation For Delay-Constrained Traffic Over Fading Multiple Access Channels
In this paper, we consider a multiple-access fading channel where users
transmit to a single base station (BS) within a limited number of time slots.
We assume that each user has a fixed amount of energy available to be consumed
over the transmission window. We derive the optimal energy allocation policy
for each user that maximizes the total system throughput under two different
assumptions on the channel state information. First, we consider the offline
allocation problem where the channel states are known a priori before
transmission. We solve a convex optimization problem to maximize the
sum-throughput under energy and delay constraints. Next, we consider the online
allocation problem, where the channels are causally known to the BS and obtain
the optimal energy allocation via dynamic programming when the number of users
is small. We also develop a suboptimal resource allocation algorithm whose
performance is close to the optimal one. Numerical results are presented
showing the superiority of the proposed algorithms over baseline algorithms in
various scenarios.Comment: IEEE Global Communications Conference: Wireless Communications
