We propose a efficient semi-distributed resource allocation scheme for OFDMA relay-enhanced downlink systems. Firstly, an adaptive subframe partitioning (ASP) algorithm that considers user's queue length and achievable data rate is used by base station to assign resources to relay stations. Regarding the slot allocation, we suggest two ways to extend conventional single-hop scheduling algorithms into...
The next generation of wireless networks (e.g.,) will use multiple techniques to improve channel spectral efficiencies. In this paper we focus on one such technique, beamforming, in the downlink channel. In each sector a number of fixed beams are used to serve users. For each frame the scheduler chooses a beam and then schedules one or more mobiles that lie within that beam. Since the basestation's...
This paper considers the problem of subcarrier scheduling in the downlink of multicell OFDMA networks. It proposes a dynamic fractional frequency reuse cell architecture that partitions subcarriers into two groups. One is reused in the whole cell area whereas the other is partitioned into sectors and used orthogonally. The proposed architecture allows dynamic allocation of users to the group of subcarriers...
In this paper, we investigate the benefits of two-hop opportunistic relay in time division duplex (TDD) OFDMA cellular network configurations. The paper starts with a short analytical model for the two-hop opportunistic relay. The model expresses the probability of finding a suitable relay node in the presence of lognormal fading and it allows the computation of the expected number of out-of-coverage...
In this paper, we focus on resource allocation in OFDMA based cooperative cellular networks with multiple sources, multiple relays and a single destination. Four typical relay schemes are discussed, namely, Amplify-and-Forward (AF) and Decode-and-Forward (DF) both with or without diversity. We formulate two general optimization problems incorporating single-carrier allocation and multi-carrier allocation...
Multi-cell cooperative processing (MCP) is well acknowledged for significantly improving spectral efficiency and fairness amongst users. Nevertheless MCP comes together with some shortcomings which have also been recognised. Cooperating Base Stations (BSs) need to be inter-connected via a Control Unit (CU) which gathers channel state information (CSI). CU is the entity responsible for performing MS...
