A Stackelberg game for relay selection and power allocation in an active cooperative model involving primary users and secondary users

In recent years, cooperative communications have been widely used to improve the spectrum efficiency in cognitive radio networks. In this paper, we propose a new cooperative model involving primary and secondary users, where a primary transmitter may select a number of the secondary users to act as relays in order to maximize its data rate and to transmit at lower energy level, thereby saving energy and reducing interference at the secondary base station. The cooperative transmission is a multiple two‐hop relaying scheme, which guarantees an achievable data rate exceeding that in the direct transmission. In the proposed approach, the problem of joint relay selection and power allocation is formulated as a Stackelberg game, which converges to a unique optimal Nash equilibrium. Performance evaluation shows that this model offers benefit to both sides, where the primary users achieve higher data rate at lower energy consumption and the signal to interference plus noise ratio at the secondary base station is increased significantly. In addition, the results show that the proposed solution outperforms the investigated models in terms of achievable data rate.     

Resource Allocation for Decode-and-Forward Relaying Assisted Multi-cell Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Systems with Frequency Planning

In this paper we apply frequency planning to the resource allocation of multi-cell and multi-user relay enhanced orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems and propose a low-complexity algorithm taking into account of interference coordination, subcarrier and power allocation. We divide each cell into three sectors and allow different subcarrier set that can be used by the users of one sector. Such a method can help to increase the distance among users that use the same subcarriers of adjacent cells, which can reduce the impact of co-channel interference to a certain extent. Therefore, the original problem can be decoupled into three independent sub-problems by means of frequency dividing and adaptive power allocation at base station nodes which can reduce the computing complexity greatly. In the process of resource allocation for single sector, the relationship of transmission power between base station and relay node is used to transform the max-min problem into standard closed expression. With the help of dual decomposition approach, water-filling theorem and iterative power allocation algorithm, the suboptimal solution of the primal problem can be achieved finally. Simulation results illustrate that our proposed algorithm achieves almost the same performance as the optimal resource allocation and reduce the computing complexity greatly. In addition, the proposed algorithm can ensure the users fairness of different sectors.     

Cooperative power allocation with partial channel information in multi‐cell multi‐user dual‐hop MIMO relay systems

This paper considers cooperative power allocation with the use of partial channel state information (CSI) in a multi‐user dual‐hop relay system with multiple antennas. The end‐to‐end capacity can be improved by dynamically allocating the transmit power of the base station and relay according to co‐channel interference caused by the adjacent relays. The proposed scheme allocates the transmit power in association with the eigenvalues and angle difference between the eigenvectors of transmit correlation matrices of the desired and interference channel. It is shown by means of upper‐bound analysis that the end‐to‐end capacity of the proposed scheme can be maximized in highly correlated channel environments when the principal eigenvectors of transmit correlation matrices of the desired and interference channel are orthogonal to each other. It is also shown that the proposed scheme is robust to the channel estimation error. Finally, the performance of the proposed scheme is verified by the computer simulation.

Joint precoding and power allocation for multiuser transmission in MIMO relay networks

This paper proposes a joint precoding and power allocation strategy to maximize the sum rate of multiuser multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) relay networks. A two‐hop relay link working on amplify‐and‐forward (AF) mode is considered. Precoding and power allocation are designed jointly at the base station (BS). It is assumed that there are no direct links between the BS and users. Under individual power constraints at the BS and relay station, precoders designed based on zero forcing, minimum mean‐square error and maximum ratio transmission are derived, respectively. Optimal power allocation strategies for these precoders are given separately. To demonstrate the performance of the proposed strategies, we simulate the uncoded bit error rate performance of the underlined system. We also show the difference of the sum rate of the system with the optimal power allocation strategies and with average power transmission. The simulation results show the advantages of the proposed joint precoding and power allocation strategies as expected. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Joint Power Allocation and Interference Mitigation Techniques for Cooperative Spread Spectrum Systems with Multiple Relays

This paper presents joint power allocation and interference mitigation techniques for the downlink of spread spectrum systems which employ multiple relays and the amplify and forward cooperation strategy. We propose a joint constrained optimization framework that considers the allocation of power levels across the relays subject to an individual power constraint and the design of linear receivers for interference suppression. We derive constrained minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) expressions for the parameter vectors that determine the optimal power levels across the relays and the linear receivers. In order to solve the proposed optimization problem efficiently, we develop joint adaptive power allocation and interference suppression algorithms that can be implemented in a distributed fashion. The proposed stochastic gradient (SG) and recursive least squares (RLS) algorithms mitigate the interference by adjusting the power levels across the relays and estimating the parameters of the linear receiver. SG and RLS channel estimation algorithms are also derived to determine the coefficients of the channels across the base station, the relays and the destination terminal. The results of simulations show that the proposed techniques obtain significant gains in performance and capacity over non-cooperative systems and cooperative schemes with equal power allocation.

A coalitional game‐based relay load balancing and power allocation scheme in decode‐and‐forward cellular relay networks

In this paper, a game theoretic relay load balancing and power allocation scheme is proposed for downlink transmission in a decode‐and‐forward orthogonal frequency division multiple access‐based cellular relay network. A system with a base station communicating with multiple users via multiple relays is considered. The relays have limited power, which must be divided among the users they support. In traditional scheme, each relay simply divides its transmit power equally among all its users. Moreover, each user selects the relay with the highest channel gain. In this work, we do not apply the traditional relay scheme. It is because the users are distributed randomly, and by applying the traditional relay selection scheme, it may happen that some relays have more users connected to them than other relays, which results in having unbalanced load among the relays. In order to avoid performance degradation, achieve relay load balancing, and maximize the total data rate of the network, a game theoretic approach is proposed, which efficiently assigns the users to relays. The power of each relay is wisely distributed among users by the efficient power allocation scheme. Simulation results indicate that the proposed game‐based scheme can considerably improve the average sum‐spectral efficiency. Moreover, it shows that by applying the game, users who can connect to uncongested relays join them as opposed to connecting to congested relays. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Coverage analysis of cell‐edge users in heterogeneous wireless networks using Stienen's model and RFA scheme

In heterogeneous wireless networks, signal‐to‐interference‐plus‐noise ratio (SINR) suffers degradation due to strong interference received by users from offloaded macro base station (mBS). Similarly, cell‐edge users experience low SINR due to their distant locations. Moreover, small base stations (sBSs) located in the vicinity of mBS experience reduced coverage due to the high transmit power of mBS. To overcome these limitations, we use Stienen's model as a base station deployment strategy to improve network performance gain. More specifically, we use reverse frequency allocation (RFA) as an interference management scheme together with Stienen's model to significantly improve SINR, enhance edge user coverage, and avoid sBS deployment near the mBS. In the proposed set‐up, the available coverage region is divided into two noncontiguous regions, ie, center region and outer region. Furthermore, mBSs are uniformly distributed throughout the coverage region using independent Poisson point processes, while sBSs are deployed only in outer region using Poisson hole process (PHP). Closed‐form expressions for coverage probabilities are characterized for the proposed model. Numerical results show that the proposed scheme yields improved SINR with enhanced edge user coverage and requires fewer number of sBSs.
