Cross‐Layer Resource Allocation in Multi‐interface Multi‐channel Wireless Multi‐hop Networks

In this paper, an analytical framework is proposed for the optimization of network performance through joint congestion control, channel allocation, rate allocation, power control, scheduling, and routing with the consideration of fairness in multi‐channel wireless multi‐hop networks. More specifically, the framework models the network by a generalized network utility maximization (NUM) problem under an elastic link data rate and power constraints. Using the dual decomposition technique, the NUM problem is decomposed into four subproblems — flow control; next‐hop routing; rate allocation and scheduling; power control; and channel allocation — and finally solved by a low‐complexity distributed method. Simulation results show that the proposed distributed algorithm significantly improves the network throughput and energy efficiency compared with previous algorithms.     

Proportional-fair energy-efficient radio resource allocation for OFDMA smallcell networks

This paper investigates the energy-efficient radio resource allocation problem of the uplink smallcell networks. Different from the existing literatures which focus on improving the energy efficiency (EE) or providing fairness measured by data rates, this paper aims to provide fairness guarantee in terms of EE and achieve EE-based proportional fairness among all users in smallcell networks. Specifically, EE-based global proportional fairness utility optimization problem is formulated, taking into account each user’s quality of service, and the cross-tier interference limitation to ensure the macrocell transmission. Instead of dealing with the problem in forms of sum of logarithms directly, the problem is transformed into a form of sum of ratios firstly. Then, a two-step scheme which solves the subchannel and power allocation separately is adopted, and the corresponding subchannel allocation algorithm and power allocation algorithm are devised, respectively. The subchannel allocation algorithm is heuristic, but can achieve close-to-optimal performance with much lower complexity. The power allocation scheme is optimal, and is derived based on a novel method which can solve the sum of ratios problems efficiently. Numerical results verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms, especially the capability of EE fairness provisioning. Specifically, it is suggested that the proposed algorithms can improve the fairness level among smallcell users by 150–400 % compared to the existing algorithms.     

Access probability optimization for streaming media transmission in heterogeneous cellular networks

FemtoCaching technology, aiming at maximizing the access probability of streaming media transmission in heterogeneous cellular networks, is investigated in this paper. Firstly, five kinds of streaming media deployment schemes are proposed based on the network topology and the relationship between users and streaming media. Secondly, a matching algorithm for adaptive streaming media deployment is proposed, where the FemtoCaching can be adjusted dynamically. Thirdly, a joint problem is formulated combined with the channel assignment, the power allocation, and the caching deployment. To address this problem, we propose a joint optimization algorithm combining matching algorithm and genetic algorithm to maximize the access probability of streaming media transmission. Simulation experiments demonstrate that: (1) the average access probability of all users accessing streaming media in the network based on the proposed algorithm compared with recent works can be greatly improved, and (2) the performance increases with increasing the number of channels and the storage capacity of micro base stations, but decreases with increasing the number of users.

An efficient resource-allocation scheme for spatial multiuser access in MIMO/OFDM systems

Fast adaptive transmission has been recently identified as a key technology for exploiting potential system diversity and improving power-spectral efficiency in wireless communication systems. An adaptive resource-allocation approach, which jointly adapts subcarrier allocation, power distribution, and bit distribution according to instantaneous channel conditions, is proposed for multiuser multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)/orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing systems. The resultant scheme is able to: 1) optimize the power efficiency; 2) guarantee each user's quality of service requirements, including bit-error rate and data rate; 3) ensure fairness to all the active users; and 4) be applied to systems with various types of multiuser-detection schemes at the receiver. For practical implementation, a reduced-complexity allocation algorithm is developed. This algorithm decouples the complex multiuser joint resource-allocation problem into simple single-user optimization problems by controlling the subcarrier sharing according to the users' spatial separability. Numerical results show that significant power and diversity gains are achievable, compared with nonadaptive systems. It is also demonstrated that the MIMO system is able to multiplex several users without sacrificing antenna diversity by using the proposed algorithm.     

QoS-based optimal and fair resource allocation for energy-efficiency uplink NOMA networks

The energy-efficiency(EE) optimization problem was studied for resource allocation in an uplink single-cell network, in which multiple mobile users with different quality of service (QoS) requirements operate under a non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) scheme. Firstly, a multi-user feasible power allocation region is derived as a multidimensional body that provides an efficient scheme to determine the feasibility of original channel and power assignment problem. Then, the size of feasible power allocation region was first introduced as utility function of the subchannel-user matching game in order to get high EE of the system and fairness among the users. Moreover, the power allocation optimization to the EE maximization is proved to be a monotonous decline function. The simulation results show that compared with the conventional schemes, the network connectivity of the proposed scheme is significantly enhanced and besides, for low rate massive connectivity networks, the proposed scheme obtains performance gains in the EE of the system.     

Coalition-based downlink resource allocation for LTE system with divide-and-conquer approach

To take advantage of the multiuser diversity resulted from the variation in channel conditions among the users,it has become an interesting and challenging problem to efficiently allocate the resources such as subcarriers,bits,and power.Most of current research concentrates on solving the resource-allocation problem for all users together in a centralized way,which brings about high computational complexity and makes it impractical for real system.Therefore,a coalitional game framework for downlink multi-user resource allocation in long term evolution(LTE) system is proposed,based on the divide-and-conquer idea.The goal is to maximize the overall system data rate under the constraints of each user’s minimal rate requirement and maximal transmit power of base station while considering the fairness among users.In this framework,a coalitional formation algorithm is proposed to achieve optimal coalition formation and a two-user bargaining algorithm is designed to bargain channel assignment between two users.The total computational complexity is greatly reduced in comparison with conventional methods.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithms acquire a good tradeoff between the overall system throughout and fairness,compared to maximal rate and max-min schemes.

Resource Allocation for Uncoded Multi-user Video Transmission over Wireless Networks

In wireless networks, multi-user video streaming under limited resource is a challenging problem. The main challenge is how to meet the transmission requirements under the different channel condition and video content complexity. In this paper, we propose an uncoded video transmission framework to deliver the multi-user video over wireless networks. In order to evaluate the overall performance of multi-user network more practically, three optimization strategies are proposed in this paper: 1) minimizing the total distortion; 2) minimizing the maximal distortion; 3) minimizing the summation of square root distortion. Furthermore, the corresponding joint resource allocation algorithms are developed to solve the optimization problems. The simulation results demonstrate that different optimization strategies have different resource allocation and performance for each user. The optimization strategy 1) performs the best in terms of average PSNR of all users, the optimization strategy 2) achieves more fair result, and the optimization strategy 3) achieves a good balance. The strategy 3) can improve the performance for users with bad channel condition, while little loss is caused for users with good channel condition.     

Joint subcarrier and power allocation with fairness in uplink OFDMA systems based on ant colony optimization

One of the key problems in uplink orthogonal frequency division multiple access systems is to efficiently and fairly allocate subcarriers and powers. However, most existing work has not sufficiently taken into account fairness when allocating these resources so that subcarriers cannot be fairly allocated among users with different channel conditions. To overcome this shortcoming, we first present an optimization framework with fairness, which aims to fairly allocate subcarriers among different users and to distribute the transmission power of each user over the assigned subcarriers. Here, the fairness is guaranteed by associating each user with a utility function and placing a lower limit on the number of subcarriers assigned. In particular, different from previous work, utility functions are allowed to be nonconcave and nondifferentiable so that our framework can be suitable for resource allocation for real‐time applications. Furthermore, an iterative algorithm based on the ant colony optimization is proposed, according to which subcarriers can be efficiently and fairly allocated among different users. Simulation results verify the convergence of our algorithm. In addition, our algorithm outperforms several other algorithms in terms of the fairness of resource allocation.

Resource allocation with proportional rate fairness in orthogonal frequency division multiple access relay networks

We address the problem of subchannel and transmission power allocation in orthogonal frequency division multiple access relay networks with an aim to maximize the sum rate and maintain proportional rate fairness among users. Because the formulated problem is a mixed‐integer nonlinear optimization problem with an extremely high computational complexity, we propose a low‐complexity suboptimal algorithm, which is a two‐step separated subchannel and power allocation algorithm. In the first step, subchannels are allocated to each user, whereas in the second step, the optimal power allocation is carried out on the basis of the given subchannel allocation and the nonlinear interval Gauss–Seidel method. Simulation results have demonstrated that the proposed algorithm can achieve a good trade‐off between the efficiency and the fairness compared with two other existing relevant algorithms. In particular, the proposed algorithm can always achieve 100% fairness under various conditions. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

一种基于干扰温度限制的信道与功率联合分配新算法

随着无线通信业务的不断增长,频谱资源越来越紧缺,然而另一方面大量授权的无线频谱却被闲置或者利用率极低,于是认知无线电技术应运而生,已成为无线通信领域的研究热点。认知无线电的基本思想是次用户（认知用户）利用主用户（授权用户）未占用的空闲频谱进行通信,其可用无线资源是根据授权用户的频谱使用情况而动态变化的。因此,能否实现对系统可用无线资源的合理有效管理,对整个认知无线电系统性能的优劣起着决定性作用。本文提出了一种在干扰温度限制下基于公平的功率与信道联合分配算法,该算法在主用户干扰温度及次用户发射功率的双重限制下,以最大化系统容量为基本目标,实现信道与功率的联合分配,并且引入贫困线来保证各个用户信道分配的公平性。论文建立了该问题的非线性规划数学模型,给出了模型的求解方法,并进一步设计了具体分配算法及其步骤。论文对干扰门限分别为-90dBm、-95dBm、-100dBm、-105dBm、-110dBm时的系统归一化容量累积分布函数进行了仿真比较,发现当干扰门限越低时,本文算法的优势越明显。这是因为在干扰门限较低时,干扰温度限制是功率分配的主要制约因素,而本文的算法正是基于干扰门限进行分配的。因此基于干扰温度限制的公平的功率与信道联合分配算法具有良好的性能,在保证了系统的公平性效益的同时,提高了系统的归一化容量。      

Dynamic subcarrier and power allocation based on cooperative game theory in symmetric cooperative OFDMA networks

In order to improve the efficiency and fairness of radio resource utilization,a scheme of dynamic cooperative subcarrier and power allocation based on Nash bargaining solution(NBS-DCSPA) is proposed in the uplink of a three-node symmetric cooperative orthogonal frequency division multiple access(OFDMA) system.In the proposed NBS-DCSPA scheme,resource allocation problem is formulated as a two-person subcarrier and power allocation bargaining game(SPABG) to maximize the system utility,under the constraints of each user’s maximal power and minimal rate,while considering the fairness between the two users.Firstly,the equivalent direct channel gain of the relay link is introduced to decide the transmission mode of each subcarrier.Then,all subcarriers can be dynamically allocated to the two users in terms of their selected transmission mode.After that,the adaptive power allocation scheme combined with dynamic subcarrier allocation is optimized according to NBS.Finally,computer simulation is conducted to show the efficiency and fairness performance of the proposed NBS-DCSPA scheme.
