Directional transmission is one of key technology to solve the utmost problem that current mobile communication system faces, which is explosively increasing data traffic, since directional transmission can maximize the throughput of mobile communication systems. In this work, we consider power allocation scheme for mobile communication system which utilizing directional transmission. Especially, we consider the case in which multiple users in the same sector of base station, are served at the same time by utilizing directional transmission. For this scenarios, we consider equal power allocation scheme, Water-filling based scheme and inverse SNR scheme. Moreover, we propose beam power allocation scheme whose objective is to maximize overall system throughput by taking into account interference between different directional transmissions. Moreover, we have examined the spectral efficiency and Jain's fairness index of various power allocation schemes for directional transmission by using system level simulator that has been developed in our previous work. Through simulations, it has been verified that the proposed power allocation scheme can improve the spectral efficiency of the system by 28%.

In this paper, we propose a power allocation scheme of the unlicensed user based on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) in the TV white space (TVWS). Power constraints in TVWS should be satisfied in the time domain. However, because OFDM has high PAPR (peak-to-average power ratio), it is difficult to satisfy power constraints of TVWS in the time domain. Furthermore, the conventional power allocation schemes cannot be generally applied to unlicensed user in TVWS. Therefore, we propose a power allocation scheme to satisfy power constraints of TVWS by reducing PAPR in the time domain. In addition, we analyze the capacity of the unlicensed user based on OFDM in a closed form. Based on the capacity analysis, as the number of subcarriers decreases, the capacity can be enhanced. In simulation results, we show that the capacity of the unlicensed user increases, as the number of subcarriers decreases and the mean of the channel between the transmitter and the receiver of the unlicensed user increases.

This paper proposes an energy-efficient mode selection and power allocation scheme in device-to-device (D2D) communication system as an underlay coexistence with cellular networks. We analyze the energy efficiency which is defined as the summation of the energy efficiencies for all devices. The proposed scheme consists of two steps. First, we calculate the transmission power maximizing the energy efficiency for all possible modes of each device. Although the proposed power cannot maximize the system capacity, we prove that the proposed transmission power is the optimal power which maximizes the energy efficiency. In the second step, we select a mode which has the maximal energy efficiency among all possible mode combinations of the devices. Then we can jointly obtain the transmission power and the mode which can maximize the energy efficiency. The proposed scheme has the optimal performance with respect to the energy efficiency and outperforms the conventional schemes.

In this paper, we investigate the power allocation for cognitive relay networks. Cognitive relay networks offer not only increasing spectral efficiency by spectrum sharing but also extending the coverage through the use of relays. For spectrum sharing, conventional works have assumed that secondary users know perfect channel information between the secondary and primary users. However, this channel information may be outdated at the secondary user because of the time-varying properties or feedback latency from the primary user. This causes the violation for interference constraint, and the secondary user cannot share the spectrum of the primary after all. To overcome this problem, we propose the power allocation scheme for the secondary user under the allowable primary user's outage probability constraint. Since the proposed power allocation scheme does not use the instantaneous channel information, the secondary users have lower feedback burden. In addition, the proposed scheme is also robust to the outdated channel environment.

The key concept of NOMA among 5G network technologies is to set the power allocation coefficient for each node. In this study, we implemented the algorithm that calculates the uplink/downlink power allocation coefficients which is the key concept of NOMA technology through analysis of minimum SNR required for successful decoding at the receiver, based on Full Duplex NOMA relay system. The performance comparison between the proposed algorithm and the existing power allocation methods is performed and the performance is confirmed in terms of ergodic sum capacity and outage probability.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has been investigated as promising technology for future broadband communication. In this paper, we propose a power allocation algorithm for a frequency selective fading channel. However, many investigated algorithms that perform high computation overhead are not appropriate for sensor network systems due to hardware limitations. The proposed algorithm significantly reduces computational overhead and satisfies the power budget. Throughput of the algorithm is comparable to the optimum solution. Simulation results support the claim stated.

Recently, energy harvesting, in which energy is collected from RF signals, has been regarded as a promising technology to improve the lifetime of sensors by alleviating the lack of power supply problem. In this paper, we try to propose an efficient algorithm for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer. At first, we find the lower bound of water-level using the probability density function of channel, and derive the solution of power allocation in energy harvesting networks. In addition, we derive an efficient power splitting method for satisfying the minimum required harvested energy constraint. The simulation results confirm that the proposed scheme improves the average data rate while guaranteeing the minimum required harvested energy constraint, compared with the conventional scheme. In addition, the proposed algorithm can reduce the computational complexity remarkably with insignificant performance degradation less than 10%, compared to the optimal solution.

In this paper, we proposed a transmission scheme for a full-duplex relay system that minimizes outage probability. A relay system with the full-duplex relay can mitigate resource inefficiency of a half-duplex relay system. However, the mobile station suffers from the interference because the base station and the relay station transmits signal simultaneously to the mobile station. First, we suggest a layered broadcasting for full-duplex relaying. Second, we derive an optimal power allocation for the layered broadcasting in terms of the outage probability minimization. The proposed algorithm shows better performance than a half-duplex relaying system with and without the diversity, and a conventional full-duplex relaying system.

In the next generation wireless communication systems, an energy harvesting from radio frequency signals is considered as a method to solve the lack of power supply problem for sensors. In this paper, we try to propose an efficient algorithm for simultaneous wireless information and power transfer in energy harvesting networks with channel estimation error. At first, we find an optimal channel training interval using one-dimensional exhaustive search, and estimate a channel using MMSE channel estimator. Based on the estimated channel, we propose a power allocation and splitting algorithm for maximizing the data rate while guaranteeing the minimum required harvested energy constraint, The simulation results confirm that the proposed algorithm has an insignificant performance degradation less than 10%, compared with the optimal scheme which assumes a perfect channel estimation, but it can improve the data rate by more than 20%, compared to the conventional scheme.
