본 논문에서는 OFDM 기반의 다중 증폭 후 전달(amplify and forward, AF) 릴레이 시스템에서 낮은 복잡도를 가지는 부반송파 페어링(pairing) 기법을 소개한다. 기지국에서 릴레이스테이션까지의 채널(첫 번째 홉)과 릴레이 스테이션에서 이 동국까지의 채널(두 번째 홉)은 서로 독립적이라고 가정한다. 이 가정 하에서 첫 번째 홉에서 특정 부 반송파로 전송된 신호는 시스템 용량 증가를 위해 두 번째 홉에서는 다른 부반송파로 전송될 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 기법을 부반송파 페어링 기법이라고 언급한다. 기존의 페어링 기법은 시스템 용량을 최대화 하는 최적의 페어링을 찾기 위해 가능한 모든 페어링을 무차별적으로 대입하였다 (brute force 탐색 기법). 이러한 기법은 최적(optimal)의 페어링은 찾을 수 있으나, 복잡도가 부반송파 개수의 지수 승으로 증가한다. 본 논문에서는 첫 번째 홉과 두 번째 홉을 채널 이득을 이용하여 후보 페어링을 구한 후, 후보 페어링의 이동국 수신 SNR(signal to noise ratio)의 값을 이용하여 최종 페어링을 구하는 부 최적 (sub-optimal) 페어링 기법을 소개한다. 실험 결과 제안한 페어링 기법은 복잡도가 부반송파 개수의 선형적으로 증가하고, brute force 기법과 근사한 시스템 용량을 가짐을 확인하였다.

A sequential optimization algorithm (SOA) for resource allocation in a cyclic-prefixed single-carrier cognitive relay system is proposed in this study. Both subcarrier pairing (SP) and power allocation are performed subject to a primary user interference constraint to minimize the mean squared error of frequency-domain equalization at the secondary destination receiver. Under uniform power allocation at the secondary source and optimal power allocation at the secondary relay, the ordered SP is proven to be asymptotically optimal in maximizing the matched filter bound on the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio. SOA implements the ordered SP before power allocation optimization by decoupling the ordered SP from the power allocation. Simulation results show that SOA can optimize resource allocation efficiently by significantly reducing complexity.

기존에 연구된 OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) 기반 다중 홉 전송망의 부반송파 페어링 방법들은 단순히 채널의 신호대잡음비(SNR)만을 고려한 것이므로, 2차 시스템의 사용으로 인해 1차 사용자에게 미치는 간섭량을 고려해야 하는 무선 인지 환경에는 적합하지 않다. 따라서, 본 논문은 OFDMA 기반의 다중 홉 무선 인지 시스템에서 1차 사용자에게 미치는 간섭을 제거하기 위해 전력제어를 수행할 경우, 감소된 수율을 향상시키기 위한 효과적인 부반송파 할당 방법에 관해 연구를 수행하였다. 간섭 채널 이득만을 고려한 IT(Interference channel gain) 방법과 채널 이득과 간섭 채널 이득의 비를 고려한 CI(Channel SNR over interference channel gain) 방법, 2가지의 부반송파 페어링 방법을 제안했으며, 모의실험을 통해 기존 방법과 성능비교를 수행하였다. 무선 인지 시스템에서 간섭 임계치를 만족시키기 위해 전력 제어가 필요한 경우에는 제안한 CI 방법이 성능이 가장 우수했으며, 기존 방법보다 최대 약 10% 이상의 수율 향상을 거두는 것을 확인하였다.

The non-orthogonal multiple access (NOMA) technique offers throughput improvement to meet the demands of the future generation of wireless communication networks. The objective of this work is to further improve the throughput by including an underlay cognitive radio network with an existing multi-carrier NOMA network, using cooperative communication. The throughput is maximized by optimal resource allocation, namely, power allocation, subcarrier assignment, relay selection, user pairing, and subcarrier pairing. Optimal power allocation to the primary and secondary users is accomplished in a way that target rate constraints of the primary users are not affected. The throughput maximization is a combinatorial optimization problem, and the computational complexity increases as the number of users and/or subcarriers in the network increases. To this end, to reduce the computational complexity, a dynamic network resource allocation algorithm is proposed for combinatorial optimization. The simulation results show that the proposed network improves the throughput.

본 논문에서는 셀룰러 시스템 상향 링크에서 가상 여러입력 여러출력 (multiple input multiple output: MIMO)를 적용할 때 사용자 쌍 선택 및 자원 할당 문제를 고려한다. 다중 접속 방식으로 LTE (long term evolution) 시스템의 SC-FDMA (single carrier frequency division multiple access)보다 자원 할당이 유연한 DFTS-OFDMA(discrete Fourier transform spread orthogonal FDMA) 방식을 적용하고 서로 다른 제약 조건에서 전송률을 최대로 하는 사용자 쌍 및 자원 할당 최적화 문제를 공식화하였다. 이 때 비연속 부반송파 자원을 할당하고 중복 사용자 할당을 허용하는 DFTS-OFDMA 방식은 SC-FDMA보다 전달해야 할 자원 할당 제어 정보 양은 늘어나지만 최적화 해를 쉽게 얻을 수 있고 전송률을 향상시킴을 볼 수 있다.

In this paper, we consider a joint frequency-domain scheduling and user-pairing problem for virtual MIMO in the single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) system, e.g., the uplink transmission for third generation partnership project-long term evolution (3GPP-LTE) standard. Due to the subcarrier adjacency constraint inherent to SC-FDMA, its complexity becomes unmanageable. We propose a greedy heuristic algorithm for PF scheduling so as to deal with the complexity issue in this joint problem. It has been shown that its performance can reach up to 90% of its upper bound.

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.

Energy harvesting techniques, particularly radio frequency energy harvesting (RF-EH) techniques, which are known to provide feasible solutions to enhance the performance of energy constrained wireless communication systems, have gained increasing attention. In this paper, we consider a wireless-powered cooperative communication network (WPCCN) for transferring energy in the downlink and forwarding signals in the uplink. The objective is to maximize the average transmission rate of the system, subject to the total network power constraint. We formulate such a problem as a form of wireless energy transmission based on resource allocation that searches for the joint subcarrier pairing and the time and power allocation, and this can be solved by using a dual approach. Simulation results show that the proposed joint optimal scheme can efficiently improve system performance with an increase in the number of subcarriers and relays.

This paper investigates the simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) for two-hop orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) decode-and-forward (DF) relay network, where a relay harvests energy from radio frequency signals transmitted by a source and then uses the harvested energy to assist information transmission from the source to its destination. The power splitting receiver is considered at the relay. To explore the performance limit of such a SWIPT-enabled system, a resource allocation (RA) optimization problem is formulated to maximize the achievable information rate of the system, where the power allocation, the subcarrier pairing and the power splitting factor are jointly optimized. As the problem is non-convex and there is no known solution method, we first decompose it into two separate subproblems and then design an efficient RA algorithm. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed algorithm can achieve the maximum achievable rate of the system and also show that to achieve a better system performance, the relay node should be deployed near the source in the SWIPT-enabled two-hop OFDM DF relay system, which is very different from that in conventional non-SWIPT system where the relay should be deployed at the midpoint of the line between the source and the destination.
