Decentralized Dynamic Hop Selection and Power Control in Cognitive Multi-hop Relay Systems
In this paper, we consider a cognitive multi-hop relay secondary user (SU)
system sharing the spectrum with some primary users (PU). The transmit power as
well as the hop selection of the cognitive relays can be dynamically adapted
according to the local (and causal) knowledge of the instantaneous channel
state information (CSI) in the multi-hop SU system. We shall determine a low
complexity, decentralized algorithm to maximize the average end-to-end
throughput of the SU system with dynamic spatial reuse. The problem is
challenging due to the decentralized requirement as well as the causality
constraint on the knowledge of CSI. Furthermore, the problem belongs to the
class of stochastic Network Utility Maximization (NUM) problems which is quite
challenging. We exploit the time-scale difference between the PU activity and
the CSI fluctuations and decompose the problem into a master problem and
subproblems. We derive an asymptotically optimal low complexity solution using
divide-and-conquer and illustrate that significant performance gain can be
obtained through dynamic hop selection and power control. The worst case
complexity and memory requirement of the proposed algorithm is O(M^2) and
O(M^3) respectively, where is the number of SUs
A cross layer multi hop network architecture for wireless Ad Hoc networks
In this paper, a novel decentralized cross-layer multi-hop cooperative network architecture is presented. Our architecture involves the design of a simple yet efficient cooperative flooding scheme,two decentralized opportunistic cooperative forwarding mechanisms as well as the design of Routing
Enabled Cooperative Medium Access Control (RECOMAC) protocol that spans and incorporates the physical, medium access control (MAC) and routing layers for improving the performance of multihop communication. The proposed architecture exploits randomized coding at the physical layer to realize cooperative diversity. Randomized coding alleviates relay selection and actuation mechanisms,and therefore reduces the coordination among the relays. The coded packets are forwarded via opportunistically formed cooperative sets within a region, without communication among the relays and without establishing a prior route. In our architecture, routing layer functionality is submerged into the
MAC layer to provide seamless cooperative communication while the messaging overhead to set up routes, select and actuate relays is minimized. RECOMAC is shown to provide dramatic performance improvements, such as eight times higher throughput and ten times lower end-to-end delay as well as reduced overhead, as compared to networks based on well-known IEEE 802.11 and Ad hoc On Demand

Matrix-Monotonic Optimization for MIMO Systems
For MIMO systems, due to the deployment of multiple antennas at both the
transmitter and the receiver, the design variables e.g., precoders, equalizers,
training sequences, etc. are usually matrices. It is well known that matrix
operations are usually more complicated compared to their vector counterparts.
In order to overcome the high complexity resulting from matrix variables, in
this paper we investigate a class of elegant multi-objective optimization
problems, namely matrix-monotonic optimization problems (MMOPs). In our work,
various representative MIMO optimization problems are unified into a framework
of matrix-monotonic optimization, which includes linear transceiver design,
nonlinear transceiver design, training sequence design, radar waveform
optimization, the corresponding robust design and so on as its special cases.
Then exploiting the framework of matrix-monotonic optimization the optimal
structures of the considered matrix variables can be derived first. Based on
the optimal structure, the matrix-variate optimization problems can be greatly
simplified into the ones with only vector variables. In particular, the
dimension of the new vector variable is equal to the minimum number of columns
and rows of the original matrix variable. Finally, we also extend our work to
some more general cases with multiple matrix variables.Comment: 37 Pages, 5 figures, IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing, Final
