2.3 <strong>Resource</strong> <strong>Allocation</strong> Schemes<br />

In order to relate the sub-carrier pair (k, j) to a specific user, we further def<strong>in</strong>e the<br />

b<strong>in</strong>ary variable τ m,(k,j) ∈ {0, 1}, such that<br />

⎧<br />

⎨ 1, if sub-carrier pair (k, j) is allocated to the m-th user,<br />

τ m,(k,j) =<br />

⎩ 0, otherwise.<br />

(2.6)<br />

With the above def<strong>in</strong>ition, the overall system throughput can be expressed as<br />

M∑ K∑ K∑<br />

C =<br />

π k,j τ m,(k,j) r m,(k,j) , (2.7)<br />

m=1 k=1 j=1<br />

and will be used as our ma<strong>in</strong> objective function throughout the chapter.<br />

2.3 <strong>Resource</strong> <strong>Allocation</strong> Schemes<br />

Our target is to jo<strong>in</strong>tly optimize the sub-carrier allocation, sub-carrier pair<strong>in</strong>g, and<br />

the power allocation such that the end-to-end system throughput is maximized under<br />

<strong>in</strong>dividual power constra<strong>in</strong>ts of MUs and RS.<br />

2.3.1 Problem Formulation<br />

Mathematically, we need to optimize over the variables π = {π k,j }, τ = {τ m,(k,j) },<br />

p = {p m,k } and q = {q j } for all m = {1, ..., M}, k = {1, ..., K}, j = {1, ..., K}.<br />

Let P m and Q be the total powers of the m-th MU and RS, respectively. The<br />
