Interference mitigation is a significant issue in the cognitive heterogeneous networks, this paper studied how to reduce the interference to macrocell users (MU) and improve system throughput. Establish the interference model with imperfect spectrum sensing by analyzing the source of interference complexity. Based on the user topology, the optimize problem was built to maximize the downlink throughput under given interference constraint and the total power constraint. We decompose the resource allocation problem into subcarrier allocation and power allocation. In the subcarrier assignment step, the allocated number of subcarriers satisfies the requirement of the femtocell users (FU).Then, we designed the power allocation algorithm based on the Lagrange multiplier method and the improved water filling method. Simulation results and performance analyses show that the proposed algorithm causes less interference to MU than the algorithm without considering imperfect spectrum sensing, and the system achieves better throughput performance.

Power allocation is an important factor for cognitive radio networks to achieve higher communication capacity and faster equilibrium. This paper considers power allocation problem to each cognitive user to maximize capacity of the cognitive systems subject to the constraints on the total power of each cognitive user and the interference levels of the primary user. Since this power control problem can be formulated as a mixed-integer nonlinear programming (NP) equivalent to variational inequality (VI) problem in convex polyhedron which can be transformed into complementary problem (CP), we utilize modified projection method to solve this CP problem instead of finding NP solution and give a power control allocation algorithm with a subcarrier allocation scheme. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs well and effectively reduces the system power consumption with almost maximum capacity while achieve Nash equilibrium.

다중 사용자 OFDM 시스템에서 제한된 자원을 효율적으로 사용하기 위해서는 부반송파와 비트의 할당은 중요한 역할을 한다. 하지만 부반송파와 비트의 할당문제는 비선형적 문제로 모든 경우의 수를 계산하여 최적의 값을 얻기에는 사실상 불가능하다. 본 논문에서는 비선형적 문제의 효율적인 자원 활용을 위해서 새로운 유전자 알고리즘을 사용하였다. 논문에서 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 정형화된 유전자 알고리즘보다 다양한 조합을 참고하여 해를 찾게 된다. 따라서 수치적 시뮬레이션 결과들을 통해서 기존의 알고리즘들과 제안된 알고리즘을 비교해 볼 때, 제안한 알고리즘이 기존의 알고리즘들보다 뛰어난 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

Cooperative relays can provide spatial diversity and improve performance of wireless communications. In this paper, we study subcarrier power allocation at the relays for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based wireless systems. For cooperative relay with amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) algorithms, we investigate the impact of power allocation to the mutual information between the source and destination. From our simulation results on word~error-rate (WER) performance, we find that the DF algorithm with power allocation provides better performance than that of AF algorithm in a single path relay network because the former is able to eliminate channel noise at each relay. For the multiple path relay network, however, the network structure is already resistant to noise and channel distortion, and AF approach is a more attractive choice due to its lower complexity.

OFDM 전송방식에서는 여러 개의 부반송파를 사용하여 데이터를 전송한다. 그러므로 송신 비선형 전력증폭기와 반송파 주파수편차에 의하여 부반송파 간 간섭이 발생된다. 또한 OFDM 신호가 도플러 시변 페이딩 채널을 통하여 전송될 때 부반송파 간 간섭이 발생된다. 이러한 부반송파 간섭으로 인하여 수신기에서 비트 오류율이 증가된다. LTE와 WiMAX 표준방식에서는 서로 다른 부반송파 할당방식이 사용되고 있다. 그러므로 본 논문에서는 비선형 전력증폭기, 반송파 주파수편차의 영향을 고려하여, 송신 신호가 다중경로 도플러 페이딩 채널을 통하여 전송될 때, 부반송파 할당방식에 따른 OFDM 시스템의 데이터 비트 오류율 성능을 분석한다.

This paper considers a cooperative orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)-based cognitive radio network where the primary system leases some of its subchannels to the secondary system for a fraction of time in exchange for the secondary users (SUs) assisting the transmission of primary users (PUs) as relays. Our aim is to determine the cooperation strategies among the primary and secondary systems so as to maximize the sum-rate of SUs while maintaining quality-of-service (QoS) requirements of PUs. We formulate a joint optimization problem of PU transmission mode selection, SU (or relay) selection, subcarrier assignment, power control, and time allocation. By applying dual method, this mixed integer programming problem is decomposed into parallel per-subcarrier subproblems, with each determining the cooperation strategy between one PU and one SU. We show that, on each leased subcarrier, the optimal strategy is to let a SU exclusively act as a relay or transmit for itself. This result is fundamentally different from the conventional spectrum leasing in single-channel systems where a SU must transmit a fraction of time for itself if it helps the PU's transmission. We then propose a subgradient-based algorithm to find the asymptotically optimal solution to the primal problem in polynomial time. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can significantly enhance the network performance.

적응형 자원 할당에 대해 낮은 복잡도를 요구하는 이동 채널에서의 다중 사용자 OFDM 시스템을 위해 다중 임계치를 사용하는 자원 할당 알고리듬을 제안한다. 임계치의 내림차순으로 할당을 수행하며, 각 임계치를 넘어서는 채널값을 갖는 부반송파에 대해서만 할당을 고려한다. 또한, 낮은 채널값을 갖는 부반송파들을 제거하여도 요구 데이터율을 여전히 만족시킬 수 있다면, 현재의 임계치를 이용한 할당 과정에서 해당 부반송파를 제거하여 다음 임계치에 대한 할당 과정에서 다른 사용자들을 위해 재할당되도록 한다. 제안된 대역폭 및 부반송파 할당알고리듬은 필요 전력과 할당에 소요되는 시간에 대해서 기존의 알고리듬들에 비해 매우 우수한 성능을 가지기 때문에 이동 환경에서 OFDM 시스템의 스펙트럼 효율을 높일 수 있는 기술로 예상된다.

This paper addresses the problem of resource allocation in amplify-and-forward (AF) relayed OFDM based cognitive radio networks (CRNs). The purpose of resource allocation is to maximize the overall throughput, while satisfying the constraints on the individual power and the interference induced to the primary users (PUs). Additionally, different from the conventional resource allocation problem, the rate-guarantee constraints of the subcarriers are considered. We formulate the problem as a mixed integer programming task and adopt the dual decomposition technique to obtain an asymptotically optimal power allocation, subcarrier pairing and relay selection. Moreover, we further design a suboptimal algorithm that sacrifices little on performance but could significantly reduce computational complexity. Numerical simulation results confirm the optimality of the proposed algorithms and demonstrate the impact of the different constraints.

Two-way relaying is an effective way of improving system spectral efficiency by making use of physical layer network coding. However, energy efficiency in OFDM-based bidirectional relaying with asymmetric traffic requirement has not been investigated. In this study, we focused on subcarrier transmission mode selection, bit loading, and power allocation in a multicarrier single amplified-and-forward relay system. In this scheme, each subcarrier can operate in two transmission modes: one-way relaying and two-way relaying. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer programming problem. We adopt a structural approximation optimization method that first decouples the original problem into two suboptimal problems with fixed subcarrier subsets and then finds the optimal subcarrier assignment subsets. Although the suboptimal problems are nonconvex, the results obtained for a single-tone system are used to transform them to convex problems. To find the optimal subcarrier assignment subsets, an iterative algorithm based on subcarrier ranking and matching is developed. Simulation results show that the proposed method can improve system performance compared with conventional methods. Some interesting insights are also obtained via simulation.

Recently, to satisfy mobile users' increasing data transmission requirement, energy efficiency (EE) resource allocation in distributed antenna systems (DASs) has become a hot topic. In this paper, we aim to maximize EE in DASs subject to constraints of the minimum data rate requirement and the maximum transmission power of distributed antenna units (DAUs) with different density distributions. Virtual cell is defined as DAUs selected by the same user equipment (UE) and the size of virtual cells is dependent on the number of subcarriers and the transmission power. Specifically, the selection rule of DAUs is depended on different scenarios. We develop two scenarios based on the density of DAUs, namely, the sparse scenario and the dense scenario. In the sparse scenario, each DAU can only be selected by one UE to avoid co-channel interference. In order to make the original non-convex optimization problem tractable, we transform it into an equivalent fractional programming and solve by the following two sub-problems: optimal subcarrier allocation to find suitable DAUs; optimal power allocation for each subcarrier. Moreover, in the dense scenario, we consider UEs could access the same channel and generate co-channel interference. The optimization problem could be transformed into a convex form based on interference upper bound and fractional programming. In addition, an energy-efficient DAU selection scheme based on the large scale fading is developed to maximize EE. Finally, simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm for both sparse and dense scenarios.
