2.1 Introduction<br />

The ma<strong>in</strong> contributions of the chapter are summarized as follows:<br />

• We formulate a jo<strong>in</strong>t power allocation, sub-carrier allocation, and sub-carrier<br />

pair<strong>in</strong>g problem which targets to maximize the overall system throughput<br />

subject to <strong>in</strong>dividual power constra<strong>in</strong>ts. Unlike the previous reported works<br />

[30]–[31] which optimize resources separately, we provide a unified formulation<br />

which <strong>in</strong>cludes sub-carrier pair<strong>in</strong>g, sub-carrier allocation, and power allocation<br />

under the same optimization.<br />

• A jo<strong>in</strong>t solution is obta<strong>in</strong>ed from the dual decomposition technique and a near<br />

optimal solution is found. The optimality of the proposed solutions is validated<br />

when the number of the <strong>OFDM</strong> sub-carriers is large [35], which is normally<br />

satisfied by the practical transmissions.<br />

• We also propose a suboptimal algorithm to trade the performance for the<br />

computational complexity by separately f<strong>in</strong>d<strong>in</strong>g parameters one at a time.<br />

The simulation results show less degraded performance of the suboptimal<br />

algorithm.<br />

• For multi-relay multi-user network, the jo<strong>in</strong>t relay selection, sub-carrier<br />

allocation, sub-carrier match<strong>in</strong>g, and power allocation is obta<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> the second<br />

part of this chapter. Unlike [32], where a particular user can only be served by<br />

at most one relay node, we consider a more general scenario where different<br />

mobile users transmit the signals over different sub-carriers to more than one<br />

relay nodes, whereas a particular relay can serve more than one users.<br />

This chapter is organized as follows. In Section 2.2, we present the system<br />

model of relay aided multi-user transmission. In Section 2.3, we formulate a unified<br />

resource allocation problem and propose a jo<strong>in</strong>t optimization algorithm from the<br />

dual composition method. A suboptimal algorithm is also designed to trade the<br />

performance for complexity. Extension to multi-user multi-relay scenario is then<br />

provided <strong>in</strong> Section 2.4. Numerical results are presented <strong>in</strong> Section 2.5 to corroborate<br />

the proposed studies, and conclusions are made <strong>in</strong> Section 2.6.<br />
