In this article, we propose a semi-distributed resource allocation framework for the resource optimization in multicell uplink cooperative orthogonal frequency division multiplexing systems. Specifically, we model the resource allocation framework as an optimal problem. This optimization problem is divided into two steps. First, using integer programming, we achieve the joint relay selection an...

Title of Dissertation: RESOURCE ALLOCATION ISSUES IN BROADBAND WIRELESS NETWORKS WITH OFDM SIGNALING Iordanis Koutsopoulos, Doctor of Philosophy, 2002 Dissertation directed by: Professor Leandros Tassiulas Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Wireless broadband technologies are anticipated to flourish in the next few years, due to the increasing demand for wireless connectivity and...

In this paper, authors presented a price maximization scheme for optimal orthogonal frequency division for multiple access (OFDMA) subcarrier allocation for wireless video unicast/multicast scenarios. They formulate a pricing based video utility function for H.264 based wireless scalable video streaming, thereby achieving a trade-off between price and QoS fairness. These parametric models for s...

This paper proposes a new algorithm of adaptive subcarrier allocation and bit loading for simultaneous voice and data transmission in multiuser OFDM systems. The algorithm dynamically assigns the number of subcarriers and bits/per symbol on each subcarrier for each user in a single cell. To cope with the stringent delay requirement of voice service, the subcarriers with low channel gains are as...

This paper considers the optimal power allocation for a multiuser MIMO-OFDM downlink system using zero-forcing multiplexing, with the objective to maximize the system capacity. First, we consider the problem of user selection and power allocation for every subcarrier. By converting this combinatorial optimization problem into a convex one, an optimal power allocation algorithm has been derived....

In this paper, we study the physical layer security (PLS) problem in the dual hop orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based wireless communication system. First we consider a single user single relay system and study a joint power optimization problem at the source and relay subject to individual power constraint at the two nodes. The aim is to maximize the end to end secrecy rate...

In this paper, we evaluate the performance of multicast OFDM systems with single and multiple transmit antennas. We have shown that it is possible to increase the data rate of multicast OFDM systems by selecting the users with good channel for each subcarrier. For the single transmit antenna case, the resource allocation has been applied using the two-step algorithm where subcarrier allocation ...

Physical-layer network coding (PNC) is a novel cooperative technique for two-way relay channel (TRC), where two users exchange information via intermediate relay node(s). On the other hand, the issue of green communications to reduce energy consumption has recently started to arouse much attention. This article studies the energyefficient resource allocation problem for orthogonal frequency div...
