<strong>Resource</strong> <strong>Allocation</strong> <strong>in</strong> Multi-User<br />

Upl<strong>in</strong>k Systems<br />

In this chapter, we propose a jo<strong>in</strong>t resource allocation scheme for relay aided upl<strong>in</strong>k<br />

multi-user transmission with a s<strong>in</strong>gle dest<strong>in</strong>ation node. To reduce the computational<br />

complexity, we present a suboptimal algorithm which sacrifices very little on the<br />

performance. Moreover, we extend the proposed algorithms to the very general<br />

relay network with multi-user and multi-relays. The proposed algorithms could<br />

provide improved performance over the exist<strong>in</strong>g algorithms.<br />

2.1 Introduction<br />

<strong>OFDM</strong>A is a spectrally efficient multiplex<strong>in</strong>g technique used <strong>in</strong> various wireless<br />

systems such as IEEE 802.11, IEEE 802.16 and is a promis<strong>in</strong>g candidate for future<br />

cellular networks e.g., accepted for IEEE 802.16j and LTE-Advanced. Disjo<strong>in</strong>t sets<br />

of sub-carriers could be formed from <strong>OFDM</strong> symbol. <strong>OFDM</strong>A employs <strong>OFDM</strong><br />

and has an <strong>in</strong>nate feature of exploit<strong>in</strong>g the frequency selectivity enabled multi-user<br />

diversity such that the multiple users transmit their <strong>in</strong>formation simultaneously<br />

us<strong>in</strong>g the different sub-carriers without <strong>in</strong>ter-user <strong>in</strong>terference. <strong>Based</strong> on the quality<br />

of wireless channels, the power allocation over sub-carriers and the set of sub-carriers<br />
