In this paper, we develop an energy efficient resource allocation scheme for orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) networks with in-band full-duplex (IBFD) communication between the base station and user equipments (UEs) considering a realistic self-interference (SI) model. Our primary aim is to maximize the system energy efficiency (EE) through a joint power control and sub-carrier assignment in both the downlink (DL) and uplink (UL), where the quality of service requirements of the UEs in DL and UL are guaranteed. The formulated problem is non-convex due to the non-linear fractional objective function and the non-convex feasible set which is generally intractable. In order to handle this difficulty, we first use fractional programming to transform the fractional objective function to the subtractive form. Then, by employing Dinkelbach method, we propose an iterative algorithm in which an inner problem is solved in each iteration. Applying majorization-minimization approximation, we make the inner problem convex. Also, by introducing a penalty function to handle integer sub-carrier assignment variables, we propose an iterative algorithm for addressing the inner problem. We show that our proposed algorithm converges to the locally optimal solution which is also demonstrated by our simulation results. In addition, simulation results show that by applying the IBFD capability in OFDMA networks with efficient SI cancellation techniques, our proposed resource allocation algorithm attains a 75% increase in the EE as compared to the half-duplex system. . His research interests include convex and non-convex optimization, resource allocation in wireless communication, Green communication, and mobile edge computing.
This paper studies two power control problems in energy harvesting wireless networks where one hybrid base station (HBS) and all user equipments (UEs) are operating in in-band full-duplex mode. We consider minimizing the aggregate power subject to the quality of service requirement constraint, and maximizing the aggregate throughput. We address these two problems by proposing two distributed power control schemes for controlling the uplink transmit power by the UEs and the downlink energy harvesting signal power by the HBS. In our proposed schemes, the HBS updates the downlink transmit power level of the energy-harvesting signal so that each UE is enabled to harvest its required energy for powering the operating circuit and transmitting its uplink information signal with the power level determined by the proposed schemes. We show that our proposed power control schemes converge to their corresponding unique fixed points starting from any arbitrary initial transmit power. We will show that our proposed schemes well address the stated problems, which is also demonstrated by our extensive simulation results.
