We provide the solution for optimizing the power and resource allocation over block-fading relay-assisted broadcast channels in order to maximize the long term average achievable rates region of the users. The problem formulation assumes regenerative (repetition coding) decode-and-forward (DF) relaying strategy, long-term average total transmitted power constraint, orthogonal multiplexing of the users messages within the channel blocks, possibility to use a direct transmission (DT) mode from…

RESOURCE ALLOCATION FOR WIRELESS RELAY NETWORKS
In this thesis, we propose several resource allocation strategies for relay networks in the context of joint power and bandwidth allocation and relay selection, and joint power allocation and…
Optimal power allocation for layered broadcast over amplify-and-forward relay channels
TLDR
The expected utility function is characterized in terms of the channel statistics of the fading channels, and the optimization problem for any number of source layers is solved, finding that for some conditions, it is optimal to send only one layer.
Joint scheduling for dual-hop block-fading broadcast channels
TLDR
This paper proposes joint user-and-hop scheduling over dual-hop block-fading broadcast channels in order to exploit multi-user diversity gains and multi-hop diversity gains all together and demonstrates via numerical results that the proposed joint scheduling scheme enlarges the rate region as compared with a scheme that employs multi- user scheduling alone.
Power optimization for layered transmission over decode-and-forward relay channels
TLDR
The expected utility function is characterized in terms of the channel statistics of the fading channels, and the optimization problem is solved using the numerical random search method.
Resource Allocation for Two Source-Destination Pairs Sharing a Single Relay with a Buffer
TLDR
This paper obtains the optimal resource allocation scheme in order to maximize the achievable rate region in a dual-hop system that consists of two independent source-destination pairs sharing a single half-duplex relay and shows that, with the aid of buffering at the relay, joint user-and-hop scheduling is optimal and can enhance the achievable rates significantly.
Exploiting Multi-User Diversity and Multi-Hop Diversity in Dual-Hop Broadcast Channels
TLDR
Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed joint scheduling scheme enlarges the rate region as compared to scheduling schemes that exploit the diversity gains partially and extends the scheme into one that allows multiple user scheduling via superposition coding with successive decoding.
Adaptive transmission and dynamic resource allocation for relay-assisted wireless networks

Simulation results for the optimal channel-aware adaptive transmission, dynamic resource allocation and multiuser scheduling schemes for the downlink of a wireless cell that is assisted by a number of relays are provided.
Enhancing the Efficiency of Constrained Dual-Hop Variable-Gain AF Relaying Under Nakagami- $m$ Fading
TLDR
This paper studies power allocation for performance constrained dual-hop variable-gain amplify-and-forward relay networks in Nakagami- m fading and provides closed-form solutions for all the problems which are easy to implement except in two cases, namely selective relaying with partial CSI for power minimization and SNR maximization.
Resource Allocation for Multiuser Improved AF Cooperative Communication Scheme
TLDR
Joint power and bandwidth allocation of an improved amplify and forward (AF) cooperative communication scheme is proposed to utilize the spectrum efficiently and a two-step iterative algorithm is proposed, which alternates between solving either power allocation sub-problem for a given bandwidth profile or a bandwidth allocationSub-problemfor a given power profile.
Power Allocation Strategies for Fixed-Gain Half-Duplex Amplify-and-Forward Relaying in Nakagami-m Fading
TLDR
Numerical results show the benefit of having full feedback at the relays for both optimization problems and show that feedback overhead can be reduced by having only limited feedback to the relay with only a small degradation in performance.

TLDR
The numerical results show that the joint allocation of power and the channel resource achieves significantly larger achievable rate regions than those achieved by power allocation alone with fixed channel resource allocation.
Opportunistic cooperation by dynamic resource allocation
TLDR
This work considers a Rayleigh fading wireless relay channel where communication is constrained by delay and average power limitations, and introduces opportunistic decode-and-forward (ODF) protocol which utilizes the relay depending on the channel state.
Resource Allocation for Wireless Fading Relay Channels: Max-Min Solution
TLDR
Capacities are established for fading relay channels that satisfy certain conditions and lower and upper bounds on the capacity are derived, and are shown to match, and thus establish the capacity for the parallel relay channel with degraded subchannels.
Capacity bounds and power allocation for wireless relay channels

Compared to the direct transmission and traditional multihop protocols, the results reveal that optimum relay channel signaling can significantly outperform multihip protocols, and that power allocation has a significant impact on the performance.

Capacity and optimal resource allocation for fading broadcast channels - Part I: Ergodic capacity

This paper derives the outage capacity regions of fading broadcast channels, assuming that both the transmitter and the receivers have perfect channel side information, and finds a strategy which bounds the outage probability region for different spectrum-sharing techniques.
Cooperative strategies and capacity theorems for relay networks

The capacity results generalize broadly, including to multiantenna transmission with Rayleigh fading, single-bounce fading, certain quasi-static fading problems, cases where partial channel knowledge is available at the transmitters, and cases where local user cooperation is permitted.
Gaussian orthogonal relay channels: optimal resource allocation and capacity
TLDR
A Gaussian orthogonal relay model is investigated, and it is shown that when the relay-to-destination signal- to-noise ratio (SNR) is less than a certain threshold, the capacity at the optimizing /spl theta/ is also the maximum capacity of the channel over all possible resource allocation parameters.
Cooperative diversity in wireless networks: Efficient protocols and outage behavior
TLDR
Using distributed antennas, this work develops and analyzes low-complexity cooperative diversity protocols that combat fading induced by multipath propagation in wireless networks and develops performance characterizations in terms of outage events and associated outage probabilities, which measure robustness of the transmissions to fading.
