Joint Bandwidth and Power Allocation with Admission Control in Wireless Multi-User Networks With and Without Relaying

Abstract

Equal allocation of bandwidth and/or power may not be efficient for wireless multi-user networks with limited bandwidth and power resources. Joint bandwidth and power allocation strategies for wireless multi-user networks with and without relaying are proposed in this paper for (i) the maximization of the sum capacity of all users; (ii) the maximization of the worst user capacity; and (iii) the minimization of the total power consumption of all users. It is shown that the proposed allocation problems are convex and, therefore, can be solved efficiently. Moreover, the admission control based joint bandwidth and power allocation is considered. A suboptimal greedy search algorithm is developed to solve the admission control problem efficiently. The conditions under which the greedy search is optimal are derived and shown to be mild. The performance improvements offered by the proposed joint bandwidth and power allocation are demonstrated by simulations. The advantages of the suboptimal greedy search algorithm for admission control are also shown.
