<strong>Resource</strong> Optimization <strong>in</strong><br />

Bidirectional <strong>Relay</strong> <strong>Networks</strong><br />

In this chapter, we study resource optimization <strong>in</strong> multi-user bidirectional relay<br />

networks. <strong>Based</strong> on the studies <strong>in</strong> previous chapter, we derive an asymptotically<br />

optimal solution for jo<strong>in</strong>t resource optimization and further design a low complexity<br />

algorithm to trade the performance for computational complexity. F<strong>in</strong>ally,<br />

simulation results are provided to demonstrate the performance ga<strong>in</strong> of the proposed<br />

algorithms.<br />

3.1 Introduction<br />

Overview<br />

Most of the exist<strong>in</strong>g communication systems are bidirectional such that the roles of<br />

the source node and the dest<strong>in</strong>ation node alternate from time to time. In a relay<br />

aided scenario, the bidirectional transmission can be simply achieved by apply<strong>in</strong>g<br />

twice the pr<strong>in</strong>ciple of relay<strong>in</strong>g scheme from each direction. Let U 1 and U 2 be the<br />

two users who can communicate with each other through a relay station R. Due to<br />

half duplex nature of relay term<strong>in</strong>als, the traditional relay<strong>in</strong>g transmission requires<br />

four phases for a complete bidirectional transmission round as shown <strong>in</strong> Fig. 3.1.<br />
