Max-Min Fairness User Scheduling and Power Allocation in Full-Duplex OFDMA Systems

Abstract

In a full-duplex (FD) multi-user network, the system performance is not only limited by the self-interference but also by the co-channel interference due to the simultaneous uplink and downlink transmissions. Joint design of the uplink/downlink transmission direction of users and the power allocation is crucial for achieving high system performance in the FD multi-user network. In this paper, we investigate the joint uplink/downlink transmission direction assignment (TDA), user paring (UP) and power allocation problem for maximizing the system max-min fairness (MMF) rate in a FD multi-user orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system. The problem is formulated with a two-time-scale structure where the TDA and the UP variables are for optimizing a long-term MMF rate while the power allocation is for optimizing an instantaneous MMF rate during each channel coherence interval. We show that the studied joint MMF rate maximization problem is NP-hard in general. To obtain high-quality suboptimal solutions, we propose efficient methods based on simple relaxation and greedy rounding techniques. Simulation results are presented to show that the proposed algorithms are effective and achieve higher MMF rates than the existing heuristic methods.

“…When R-MECS works in full-duplex mode, it will bring self-interference to its receiver and cannot be canceled completely due to the hardware limitation. We describe the residual self-interference with the self-interference channel gain g R n as a linear coefficient ρ [44]. The residual self-interference in n-th subchannel is denoted as ρq n g R n 2 , and q n is the transmission power from R-MECS to eavesdropper in subchannel n. Specially, for the self-interference, we assume E g R…”

Enhancing spectrum efficiency through hybrid-duplex systems for aeronautical communications

“…Thus, BD-transmits information to the FD-AP at the th time slot while the FD-AP is simultaneously transmitting messages to the LU on the same spectrum. For the latter, OFMDA FD systems have been investigated in cellular systems to improve spectrum efficiency [118][119][120][121]. In such OFDMA cellular systems, each subcarrier supports one uplink user and one downlink user.…”
