Abstract:

In orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) relay system, for supporting relay transmission, the base station (BS)-the relay station (RS) link must consume an extra part of resource, which may result in serious resource shortage. In order to improve resource utilization, this paper proposes a dynamic resource allocation scheme in adaptive frequency reused OFDMA-relay system based on adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) technology. In this scheme, relay nodes have two independent antennas and operate in decode-and-forward (DF) and full-duplex mode. Then the BS and RSs share the same subcarriers by spatial multiplexing by two independent antennas. The resource allocation problem is formulated for system downlink throughput maximization. Since the optimal solution couldn’t be obtained easily, a sub-optimal algorithm is proposed. The adaptive frequency reused algorithm with two independent antennas RS improves the system throughput about 24.3 % compared with the orthogonal frequency allocation with single-antenna model, and increases the system throughput 10.4 % compared with adaptive frequency reused algorithms with single-antenna RS. It is proved that both of the RS with two-antenna model and adaptive frequency reused scheme can improve the system throughput significantly.
