Radio resource allocation for multicarrier-low density spreading multiple access
Multicarrier-low density spreading multiple access (MC-LDSMA) is a promising multiple access technique that enables near optimum multiuser detection. In MC-LDSMA, each user’s symbol spread on a small set of subcarriers, and each subcarrier is shared by multiple users. The unique structure of MC-LDSMA makes the radio resource allocation more challenging comparing to some well-known multiple access techniques. In this paper, we study the radio resource allocation for single-cell MC-LDSMA system. Firstly, we consider the single-user case, and derive the optimal power allocation and subcarriers partitioning schemes. Then, by capitalizing on the optimal power allocation of the Gaussian multiple access channel, we provide an optimal solution for MC-LDSMA that maximizes the users’ weighted sum-rate under relaxed constraints. Due to the prohibitive complexity of the optimal solution, suboptimal algorithms are proposed based on the guidelines inferred by the optimal solution. The performance of the proposed algorithms and the effect of subcarrier loading and spreading are evaluated through Monte Carlo simulations. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithms significantly outperform conventional static resource allocation, and MC-LDSMA can improve the system performance in terms of spectral efficiency and fairness in comparison with OFDMA
Control Aware Radio Resource Allocation in Low Latency Wireless Control Systems
We consider the problem of allocating radio resources over wireless
communication links to control a series of independent wireless control
systems. Low-latency transmissions are necessary in enabling time-sensitive
control systems to operate over wireless links with high reliability. Achieving
fast data rates over wireless links thus comes at the cost of reliability in
the form of high packet error rates compared to wired links due to channel
noise and interference. However, the effect of the communication link errors on
the control system performance depends dynamically on the control system state.
We propose a novel control-communication co-design approach to the low-latency
resource allocation problem. We incorporate control and channel state
information to make scheduling decisions over time on frequency, bandwidth and
data rates across the next-generation Wi-Fi based wireless communication links
that close the control loops. Control systems that are closer to instability or
further from a desired range in a given control cycle are given higher packet
delivery rate targets to meet. Rather than a simple priority ranking, we derive
precise packet error rate targets for each system needed to satisfy stability
targets and make scheduling decisions to meet such targets while reducing total
transmission time. The resulting Control-Aware Low Latency Scheduling (CALLS)
method is tested in numerous simulation experiments that demonstrate its
effectiveness in meeting control-based goals under tight latency constraints
relative to control-agnostic scheduling
Radio Resource Allocation for Device-to-Device Underlay Communication Using Hypergraph Theory
Device-to-Device (D2D) communication has been recognized as a promising
technique to offload the traffic for the evolved Node B (eNB). However, the D2D
transmission as an underlay causes severe interference to both the cellular and
other D2D links, which imposes a great technical challenge to radio resource
allocation. Conventional graph based resource allocation methods typically
consider the interference between two user equipments (UEs), but they cannot
model the interference from multiple UEs to completely characterize the
interference. In this paper, we study channel allocation using hypergraph
theory to coordinate the interference between D2D pairs and cellular UEs, where
an arbitrary number of D2D pairs are allowed to share the uplink channels with
the cellular UEs. Hypergraph coloring is used to model the cumulative
interference from multiple D2D pairs, and thus, eliminate the mutual
interference. Simulation results show that the system capacity is significantly
improved using the proposed hypergraph method in comparison to the conventional
graph based one.Comment: 27 pages,10 figure
