Interference Cancellation trough Interference Alignment for Downlink of Cognitive Cellular Networks
In this letter, we propose the interference cancellation through interference
alignment at the downlink of cognitive cellular networks. Interference
alignment helps the spatial resources to be shared among primary and secondary
cells and thus, it can provide higher degrees of freedom through interference
cancellation. We derive and depict the achievable degrees of freedom. We also
analyse and calculate the achievable sum rates applying water-filling optimal
power allocation
Power Control for Full-Duplex Relay-Enhanced Cellular Networks With QoS Guarantees
Full-duplex (FD) has emerged as a new communication paradigm with the potential advantage of enhancing the capacity of the wireless communication systems. In this paper, we consider an FD relay-enhanced cellular network, wherein the residual self-interference, the uplink-downlink interference, as well as the relay-access-link interference are the vital restrictions to network performance. To this end, we investigate power control design for the FD relay-enhanced cellular networks, so as to maximize the system spectral efficiency while fulfilling the quality of service (QoS) requirements of both the uplink and downlink user equipments (UEs). We characterize the properties of the optimal transmit power allocation, and propose a power control algorithm based on signomial programming to coordinate the transmit power of the uplink UE, base station, and relay stations to mitigate the interference. Meanwhile, we also derive the closed-form optimal transmit power allocation for the conventional half-duplex (HD) transmission mode. Moreover, we conduct extensive simulation experiments to study the network-level gain of the FD mode over the HD mode in the relay-enhanced cellular networks. Simulation results demonstrate that FD relaying outperforms HD relaying on improving the spectral and energy efficiency, as well as provisioning QoS guarantees for both the uplink and downlink users

Nearly Optimal Resource Allocation for Downlink OFDMA in 2-D Cellular Networks
In this paper, we propose a resource allocation algorithm for the downlink of
sectorized two-dimensional (2-D) OFDMA cellular networks assuming statistical
Channel State Information (CSI) and fractional frequency reuse. The proposed
algorithm can be implemented in a distributed fashion without the need to any
central controlling units. Its performance is analyzed assuming fast fading
Rayleigh channels and Gaussian distributed multicell interference. We show that
the transmit power of this simple algorithm tends, as the number of users grows
to infinity, to the same limit as the minimal power required to satisfy all
users' rate requirements i.e., the proposed resource allocation algorithm is
asymptotically optimal. As a byproduct of this asymptotic analysis, we
characterize a relevant value of the reuse factor that only depends on an
average state of the network.Comment: submitted to IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communication
Optimization Framework and Graph-Based Approach for Relay-Assisted Bidirectional OFDMA Cellular Networks
This paper considers a relay-assisted bidirectional cellular network where
the base station (BS) communicates with each mobile station (MS) using OFDMA
for both uplink and downlink. The goal is to improve the overall system
performance by exploring the full potential of the network in various
dimensions including user, subcarrier, relay, and bidirectional traffic. In
this work, we first introduce a novel three-time-slot time-division duplexing
(TDD) transmission protocol. This protocol unifies direct transmission, one-way
relaying and network-coded two-way relaying between the BS and each MS. Using
the proposed three-time-slot TDD protocol, we then propose an optimization
framework for resource allocation to achieve the following gains: cooperative
diversity (via relay selection), network coding gain (via bidirectional
transmission mode selection), and multiuser diversity (via subcarrier
assignment). We formulate the problem as a combinatorial optimization problem,
which is NP-complete. To make it more tractable, we adopt a graph-based
approach. We first establish the equivalence between the original problem and a
maximum weighted clique problem in graph theory. A metaheuristic algorithm
based on any colony optimization (ACO) is then employed to find the solution in
polynomial time. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed protocol
together with the ACO algorithm significantly enhances the system total
throughput.Comment: 27 pages, 8 figures, 2 table
User Transmit Power Minimization through Uplink Resource Allocation and User Association in HetNets
The popularity of cellular internet of things (IoT) is increasing day by day
and billions of IoT devices will be connected to the internet. Many of these
devices have limited battery life with constraints on transmit power. High user
power consumption in cellular networks restricts the deployment of many IoT
devices in 5G. To enable the inclusion of these devices, 5G should be
supplemented with strategies and schemes to reduce user power consumption.
Therefore, we present a novel joint uplink user association and resource
allocation scheme for minimizing user transmit power while meeting the quality
of service. We analyze our scheme for two-tier heterogeneous network (HetNet)
and show an average transmit power of -2.8 dBm and 8.2 dBm for our algorithms
compared to 20 dBm in state-of-the-art Max reference signal received power
(RSRP) and channel individual offset (CIO) based association schemes
