However, the gap between the SubOpt and OptSol is almost constant, which shows<br />

the robustness of the proposed sub-optimal algorithm. Interest<strong>in</strong>gly, the average<br />

throughput <strong>in</strong>crease with M but tends to a constant value when M is greater than<br />

10. The threshold <strong>in</strong>dicates the po<strong>in</strong>t when the s<strong>in</strong>gle relay cannot support more<br />

multi-user diversity. The performance can be further improved if we apply more<br />

relays. This will be demonstrated <strong>in</strong> the later examples.<br />

Now, we look <strong>in</strong>to multiple relay scenario. To compare the results with<br />

the recent work [32], JSP-(with match<strong>in</strong>g) shows the performance of the solution<br />

presented <strong>in</strong> Algorithm 3 [32], where sub-carrier assignment and power allocation<br />

problem is solved through primal decomposition approach. Further, a sub-carrier<br />

pair<strong>in</strong>g policy is also developed <strong>in</strong> this algorithm.<br />

The throughput performance of five different methods versus SNR for a system<br />

with M = 10 users and N = 5 are shown <strong>in</strong> Fig. 2.5. The objective value of the<br />

dual problem at the solution po<strong>in</strong>ts is also displayed <strong>in</strong> the same figure. We first<br />

observe that the duality gap between the dual objective and JntSol is close to zero<br />
