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
An Analytical Framework for Heterogeneous Partial Feedback Design in Heterogeneous Multicell OFDMA Networks
The inherent heterogeneous structure resulting from user densities and large
scale channel effects motivates heterogeneous partial feedback design in
heterogeneous networks. In such emerging networks, a distributed scheduling
policy which enjoys multiuser diversity as well as maintains fairness among
users is favored for individual user rate enhancement and guarantees. For a
system employing the cumulative distribution function based scheduling, which
satisfies the two above mentioned desired features, we develop an analytical
framework to investigate heterogeneous partial feedback in a general
OFDMA-based heterogeneous multicell employing the best-M partial feedback
strategy. Exact sum rate analysis is first carried out and closed form
expressions are obtained by a novel decomposition of the probability density
function of the selected user's signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. To
draw further insight, we perform asymptotic analysis using extreme value theory
to examine the effect of partial feedback on the randomness of multiuser
diversity, show the asymptotic optimality of best-1 feedback, and derive an
asymptotic approximation for the sum rate in order to determine the minimum
required partial feedback.Comment: To appear in IEEE Trans. on Signal Processin
