This book introduces the sources and historic collection campaigns of resource allocation in wireless communication systems. The unique characteristics of MIMO-OFDMA systems are thoroughly studied and summarized. Remarks on resource allocation and spectrum sharing are also presented, which demonstrate the great value of resource allocation techniques, but also introduce distinct challenges of resource allocation in MIMO-OFDMA systems. Novel resource allocation techniques for OFDMA Systems are surveyed from various applications (e.g., for unicast, or multicast with Guaranteed BER and Rate, subcarrier and power allocation with various detectors, low-complexity energyefficient resource allocation, etc.) in this book. Due to the high mobility and low latency requirements of 5G wireless communications, this book discusses how to deal with the imperfect CSI. It also discusses how to deal with e.g., throughput maximization, outage probabilities maximization and guarantee, energy efficiency, physical-layer security issues with feedback channel capacity constraints, in order to characterize and understand the applications of practical scenes. This book will target professionals & researchers working in the fields of Wireless Communications and Networking, Resource Allocation and Transmissions. Advanced-level students in electrical engineering and computer science will also find this book useful as a secondary textbook.

Tackling problems from the least complicated to the most, Resource Allocation in Uplink OFDMA Wireless Systems provides readers with a comprehensive look at resource allocation and scheduling techniques (for both single and multi-cell deployments) in uplink OFDMA wireless networks relying on convex optimization and game theory to thoroughly analyze performance. Inside, readers will find topics and discussions on: Formulating and solving the uplink ergodic sum-rate maximization problem Proposing suboptimal algorithms that achieve a close performance to the optimal case at a considerably reduced complexity and lead to fairness when the appropriate utility is used Investigating the performance and extensions of the proposed suboptimal algorithms in a distributed base station scenario Studying distributed resource allocation where users take part in the scheduling process, and considering scenarios with and without user collaboration Formulating the sum-rate maximization problem in a multi-cell scenario, and proposing efficient centralized and distributed algorithms for intercell interference mitigation Discussing the applicability of the proposed techniques to state-of-the-art wireless technologies, LTE and WiMAX, and proposing relevant extensions Along with schematics and figures featuring simulation results, Resource Allocation in Uplink OFDMA Wireless Systems is a valuable book for?wireless communications and cellular systems professionals and students.

This book allows readers to gain an in-depth understanding of resource allocation problems in wireless networks and the techniques used to solve them.

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) has been selected as the accessing scheme for state-of-the-art next generation mobile communication systems. The high data rates expected for current and next generation broadband wireless access systems, such as 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) and WiMAX (IEEE 802.16) necessitate an efficient use of the available resources. Downlink resource allocation in OFDMA systems has received a lot of attention, with relatively less work done on the uplink. The distributed nature of the power constraint in the uplink makes the uplink resource allocation problem more challenging than its downlink counterpart. In this dissertation, the ergodic weighted sum-rate maximization problem in the uplink of single cell OFDMA systems with continuous and discrete rates is formulated and solved. Novel low-complexity suboptimal scheduling algorithms are proposed and shown to perform closely to the optimal solution. These algorithms are generalized to include utility maximization in general, with a focus on proportional fairness. In addition, the results are extended to a distributed base station scenario, and distributed scheduling techniques with and without user cooperation are developed. Furthermore, the problem of uplink resource allocation in a multicell scenario is addressed. Several novel intercell interference mitigation techniques are proposed, in both the centralized and distributed scheduling cases, with and without base station collaboration. Finally, the applicability of the proposed resource allocation algorithms in state-of-the-art wireless systems like LTE and WiMAX is studied.
