Resource Allocation in Uplink OFDMA Wireless Systems

Optimal Solutions and Practical Implementations
This book treats the problems of single cell resource allocation, multiple cells resource allocation, centralized resource allocation, distributed resource allocation, the case of collaboration between base stations and the case without base station collaboration, in addition to the case of user cooperation and the case without user cooperation.

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 networksrelying 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.
