Abstract:In this paper, we study the problem of energy-efficient resource allocation in multiuser two-way amplify-and-forward (AF) relay networks with the aim of maximizing the energy efficiency (EE), while ensuring the quality-of-service (QoS) requirements and balancing the EE of the user links. We formulate an EE-balancing optimization problem that maximizes the ratio of the spectral efficiency (SE) over the total power dissipation subject to QoS and a limited transmit power constraints. The problem which maximizes the EE by jointly optimizing the subcarrier pairing, power allocation, and subcarrier allocation, turns out to be a non-convex fractional mixed-integer nonlinear programming problem which has an intractable complexity in general. We apply a concave lower bound on the achievable sum rate and a series of convex transformations to make the problem convex one and propose an iterative algorithm for iteratively tightening the lower bound and finding the optimal solution through dual decomposition approach. Additionally, a low-complexity suboptimal algorithm is investigated. We then characterize the impact of various network parameters on the attainable EE and SE of the network employing both EE maximization and SE maximization algorithms when the network is designed from the energy-efficient perspective. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms
