Abstract:

This paper proposes rate-maximized (MR) joint subcarrier pairing (SP) and power allocation (PA) (MR-SP&PA), a novel scheme for maximizing the weighted sum rate of the orthogonal-frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) relaying system with a decode-and-forward (DF) relay. MR-SP&PA is based on the joint optimization of both SP and power allocation with total power constraint, and formulated as a mixed integer programming problem in the paper. The programming problem is then transformed to a convex optimization problem by using continuous relaxation, and solved in the Lagrangian dual domain. Simulation results show that MR-SP&PA can maximize the weighted sum rate under total power constraint and outperform equal power allocation (EPA) and proportion power allocation (PCG).
