无线供电混合多址接入网络的资源分配

Resource Allocation for Wireless Powered Hybrid Multiple Access Networks

无线供电技术是延长无线网络节点寿命的有效方案。该文研究一个由基站和多个分簇用户组成的无线供电混合多址接入系统。系统的传输分为两个阶段。在第1阶段,基站向用户广播能量;在第2阶段,用户向基站传输信息。用户簇和用户簇之间采用时分多址接入,分时传输;同一簇内多个用户采用非正交多址接入,同时传输。该文研究联合优化系统的各阶段的传输时间、基站的发射功率、用户的发射功率等资源,分别以优化网络频谱效率和用户簇之间的公平性为目的,提出最大化网络吞吐量和最大化用户簇的最小吞吐量的联合资源分配算法。研究结果表明所提的两种算法分别能有效提高系统的频谱效率和保证用户簇之间的公平性。

Wireless powered technology is an effective way to extend the lifetime of wireless network nodes. A wireless powered hybrid multiple access system is studied that is consist of a base station and multiple users in clusters. The transmission of the system is divided into two phases. The base station broadcasts energy to the users in the first phase. The users transmit information to the base station in the second phase. The users among different clusters transmit in the time division multiple access manner, while the users in the same cluster transmit in the non-orthogonal multiple access manner. Joint phase time duration allocation and power allocation are investigated at the base station and the users in order to improve the spectrum efficiency and user fairness, respectively. Two algorithms are proposed, which maximize the system throughput and the minimum throughput of the clusters, respectively. Simulation results show that the two proposed algorithms can effectively increase spectral efficiency and guarantee fairness of user clusters, respectively.
