Resource Allocation with a Rate Guarantee Constraint in Device-to-Device Underlaid Cellular Networks
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- In most previous studies, each CU was assumed to have a preassigned channel, and thus, the channel assignment problem is to find the best DU for each CU in order to maximize the sum rate or energy efficiency. Then, the assigned channel information needs to be informed to the corresponding DUs. However, as indicated in [23,24], the channel information can be informed to CUs as well as DUs and, therefore, the channels can be re-assigned for CUs. Now, the channel assignment problem becomes the triple matching problem with pairs of (CU, DU, channel). This three-dimensional (3-D) channel assignment increases the possibility of choosing a better channel and can bring a performance improvement at the cost of increased computational complexity. To mitigate that extra complexity, a suboptimal algorithm is proposed by using Lagrangian relaxation and a sub-gradient-based iterative algorithm;
- We consider a system where the channel bandwidth is not fixed but is adaptively determined based on the triple (CU, DU, channel). As the received SINR varies, the channel capacity changes and, therefore, the channel bandwidth required to guarantee the target data rate needs to be adjusted. In more detail, the minimum channel bandwidth to guarantee the target data rate is derived with a maximum transmit power constraint. Each CU–DU–channel match-up requires different minimum channel bandwidths. In addition, hence, the remaining problem is a 3-D assignment problem to minimize the overall channel bandwidth, while guaranteeing the target data rate;
- Since the channel is shared, increasing the transmit power of CU may cause severe interference to DU and vice versa. In this paper, the exact solution to the power control problem involves iterative calculations through, for example, a root-finding algorithm. To reduce complexity, a suboptimal algorithm is proposed where power can be calculated in a closed form. In previous works, the transmit power of the UEs is determined with a fixed channel bandwidth. Even though SINR or minimum data rate per UE is considered as a constraint, some UEs may not meet the constraint, i.e., the feasible set becomes empty due to maximum transmit power limitation and fixed channel bandwidth. Herein, the channel bandwidth can be adaptively determined according to the received SINR to meet the minimum data rate.
