Energy efficient resources allocations for wireless communication systems
The energy consumption level of the telecommunication process has become a new consideration in resource management scheme. It is becoming a new parameter in the resource management scheme besides throughput, spectral efficiency, and fairness. This work proposes a power control scheme and user grouping method to keep the rational energy consumption level of the resource management scheme. Inverse water-filling power allocation is a power allocation scheme that optimizes the energy efficiency by giving the power to the user which have good channel conditions. The user grouping method becomes the solution for carrier aggregation (CA) scheme that prevents edge cell user get the resources from the high-frequency carrier. This can prevent energy wastage in the transmission process. This power control scheme and user grouping method can optimize the spectral and energy efficiency without increasing the time complexity of the system
Performance Analysis of Heterogeneous Feedback Design in an OFDMA Downlink with Partial and Imperfect Feedback
Current OFDMA systems group resource blocks into subband to form the basic
feedback unit. Homogeneous feedback design with a common subband size is not
aware of the heterogeneous channel statistics among users. Under a general
correlated channel model, we demonstrate the gain of matching the subband size
to the underlying channel statistics motivating heterogeneous feedback design
with different subband sizes and feedback resources across clusters of users.
Employing the best-M partial feedback strategy, users with smaller subband size
would convey more partial feedback to match the frequency selectivity. In order
to develop an analytical framework to investigate the impact of partial
feedback and potential imperfections, we leverage the multi-cluster subband
fading model. The perfect feedback scenario is thoroughly analyzed, and the
closed form expression for the average sum rate is derived for the
heterogeneous partial feedback system. We proceed to examine the effect of
imperfections due to channel estimation error and feedback delay, which leads
to additional consideration of system outage. Two transmission strategies: the
fix rate and the variable rate, are considered for the outage analysis. We also
investigate how to adapt to the imperfections in order to maximize the average
goodput under heterogeneous partial feedback.Comment: To appear in IEEE Trans. on Signal Processin
On the Optimum Energy Efficiency for Flat-fading Channels with Rate-dependent Circuit Power
This paper investigates the optimum energy efficiency (EE) and the
corresponding spectral efficiency (SE) for a communication link operating over
a flat-fading channel. The EE is evaluated by the total energy consumption for
transmitting per message bit. Three channel cases are considered, namely static
channel with channel state information available at transmitter (CSIT),
fast-varying (FV) channel with channel distribution information available at
transmitter (CDIT), and FV channel with CSIT. A general circuit power model is
considered. For all the three channel cases, the tradeoff between the EE and SE
is studied. It is shown that the EE improves strictly as the SE increases from
0 to the optimum SE, and then strictly degrades as the SE increases beyond the
optimum SE. The impact of {\kappa}, {\rho} and other system parameters on the
optimum EE and corresponding SE is investigated to obtain insight.Some of the
important and interesting results for all the channel cases include: (1) when
{\kappa} increases the SE corresponding to the optimum EE should keep unchanged
if {\phi}(R) = R, but reduced if {\phi}(R) is strictly convex of R; (2) when
the rate-independent circuit power {\rho} increases, the SE corresponding to
the optimum EE has to be increased. A polynomial-complexity algorithm is
developed with the bisection method to find the optimum SE. The insight is
corroborated and the optimum EE for the three cases are compared by simulation
results.Comment: 12 pages, 7 figures, to appear in IEEE Transactions on Communication
Multicast Scheduling and Resource Allocation Algorithms for OFDMA-Based Systems: A Survey
Multicasting is emerging as an enabling technology
for multimedia transmissions over wireless networks to support several groups of users with flexible quality of service (QoS)requirements. Although multicast has huge potential to push the limits of next generation communication systems; it is however one of the most challenging issues currently being addressed. In this survey, we explain multicast group formation and various
forms of group rate determination approaches. We also provide a systematic review of recent channel-aware multicast scheduling and resource allocation (MSRA) techniques proposed for downlink multicast services in OFDMA based systems. We study these enabling algorithms, evaluate their core characteristics, limitations and classify them using multidimensional matrix. We cohesively review the algorithms in terms of their throughput maximization, fairness considerations, performance complexities,
multi-antenna support, optimality and simplifying assumptions. We discuss existing standards employing multicasting and further highlight some potential research opportunities in multicast systems
