Energy-efficiency for MISO-OFDMA based user-relay assisted cellular networks
The concept of improving energy-efficiency (EE) without sacrificing the service quality has become important nowadays. The combination of orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA) multi-antenna transmission technology and relaying is one of the key technologies to deliver the promise of reliable and high-data-rate coverage in the most cost-effective manner. In this paper, EE is studied for the downlink multiple-input single-output (MISO)-OFDMA based user-relay assisted cellular networks. EE maximization is formulated for decode and forward (DF) relaying scheme with the consideration of both transmit and circuit power consumption as well as the data rate requirements for the mobile users. The quality of-service (QoS)-constrained EE maximization, which is defined for multi-carrier, multi-user, multi-relay and multi-antenna networks, is a non-convex and combinatorial problem so it is hard to tackle. To solve this difficult problem, a radio resource management (RRM) algorithm that solves the subcarrier allocation, mode selection and power allocation separately is proposed. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is demonstrated by numerical results for different system parameter
Optimization of resource allocation for the downlink of multiuser MISO-OFDM systems
Proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Telecommunications, 2010, p. 266-271In this paper, we investigate the optimization problem of resource allocation in downlink of multiuser MISO-OFDM system. Multiple users with different BER and minimum transmission rate requirements are considered. We propose a novel heuristic allocation algorithm (HAA) of radio resource, which minimizes the total transmit power of the base station while meeting individual users'QoS requirements. The proposed algorithm combines antenna selection, subcarrier, bit and power allocation together, pre-estimating number of subcarriers assigned to each user and number of bits loaded for each subcarrier to reduce search number, reducing about 8 dB average bit SNR comparing with fixed allocation algorithm (FAA), and acquiring asymptotic average bit SNR of optimal allocation algorithm (OAA) with much lower complexity. © 2009 IEEE.published_or_final_versio
SYNCHRONIZATION AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN DOWNLINK OFDM SYSTEMS
The next generation (4G) wireless systems are expected to provide
universal personal and multimedia communications with seamless connection
and very high rate transmissions and without regard to the users’ mobility and
location. OFDM technique is recognized as one of the leading candidates to
provide the wireless signalling for 4G systems. The major challenges in
downlink multiuser OFDM based 4G systems include the wireless channel, the
synchronization and radio resource management. Thus algorithms are required
to achieve accurate timing and frequency offset estimation and the efficient
utilization of radio resources such as subcarrier, bit and power allocation.
The objectives of the thesis are of two fields. Firstly, we presented the
frequency offset estimation algorithms for OFDM systems. Building our work
upon the classic single user OFDM architecture, we proposed two FFT-based
frequency offset estimation algorithms with low computational complexity.
The computer simulation results and comparisons show that the proposed
algorithms provide smaller error variance than previous well-known algorithm.
Secondly, we presented the resource allocation algorithms for OFDM
systems. Building our work upon the downlink multiuser OFDM architecture,
we aimed to minimize the total transmit power by exploiting the system
diversity through the management of subcarrier allocation, adaptive
modulation and power allocation. Particularly, we focused on the dynamic
resource allocation algorithms for multiuser OFDM system and multiuser
MIMO-OFDM system. For the multiuser OFDM system, we proposed a lowiv
complexity channel gain difference based subcarrier allocation algorithm. For
the multiuser MIMO-OFDM system, we proposed a unit-power based
subcarrier allocation algorithm. These proposed algorithms are all combined
with the optimal bit allocation algorithm to achieve the minimal total transmit
power. The numerical results and comparisons with various conventional nonadaptive
and adaptive algorithmic approaches are provided to show that the
proposed resource allocation algorithms improve the system efficiencies and
performance given that the Quality of Service (QoS) for each user is
guaranteed.
The simulation work of this project is based on hand written codes in the
platform of the MATLAB R2007b
Optimality Properties, Distributed Strategies, and Measurement-Based Evaluation of Coordinated Multicell OFDMA Transmission
The throughput of multicell systems is inherently limited by interference and
the available communication resources. Coordinated resource allocation is the
key to efficient performance, but the demand on backhaul signaling and
computational resources grows rapidly with number of cells, terminals, and
subcarriers. To handle this, we propose a novel multicell framework with
dynamic cooperation clusters where each terminal is jointly served by a small
set of base stations. Each base station coordinates interference to neighboring
terminals only, thus limiting backhaul signalling and making the framework
scalable. This framework can describe anything from interference channels to
ideal joint multicell transmission.
The resource allocation (i.e., precoding and scheduling) is formulated as an
optimization problem (P1) with performance described by arbitrary monotonic
functions of the signal-to-interference-and-noise ratios (SINRs) and arbitrary
linear power constraints. Although (P1) is non-convex and difficult to solve
optimally, we are able to prove: 1) Optimality of single-stream beamforming; 2)
Conditions for full power usage; and 3) A precoding parametrization based on a
few parameters between zero and one. These optimality properties are used to
propose low-complexity strategies: both a centralized scheme and a distributed
version that only requires local channel knowledge and processing. We evaluate
the performance on measured multicell channels and observe that the proposed
strategies achieve close-to-optimal performance among centralized and
distributed solutions, respectively. In addition, we show that multicell
interference coordination can give substantial improvements in sum performance,
but that joint transmission is very sensitive to synchronization errors and
that some terminals can experience performance degradations.Comment: Published in IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, 15 pages, 7

Feedback Allocation For OFDMA Systems With Slow Frequency-domain Scheduling
We study the problem of allocating limited feedback resources across multiple
users in an orthogonal-frequency-division-multiple-access downlink system with
slow frequency-domain scheduling. Many flavors of slow frequency-domain
scheduling (e.g., persistent scheduling, semi-persistent scheduling), that
adapt user-sub-band assignments on a slower time-scale, are being considered in
standards such as 3GPP Long-Term Evolution. In this paper, we develop a
feedback allocation algorithm that operates in conjunction with any arbitrary
slow frequency-domain scheduler with the goal of improving the throughput of
the system. Given a user-sub-band assignment chosen by the scheduler, the
feedback allocation algorithm involves solving a weighted sum-rate maximization
at each (slow) scheduling instant. We first develop an optimal
dynamic-programming-based algorithm to solve the feedback allocation problem
with pseudo-polynomial complexity in the number of users and in the total
feedback bit budget. We then propose two approximation algorithms with
complexity further reduced, for scenarios where the problem exhibits additional
structure.Comment: Accepted to IEEE Transactions on Signal Processin
