Ultra dense deployment of base stations is one of most significant features in smart city communication networks. Aiming at the large-scale wireless communication issue in smart city, we propose a distributed robust power allocation scheme with proportional fairness for cooperative orthogonal frequency-division-multipleaccess relay network. With the amplify-and-forward relay mode, all of the relays assist the information transmission simultaneously on orthogonal subcarriers. Considering the uncertainty of channel gains, first we aim at achieving the maximum utility subject to the constraints of outage probability threshold and power bound. Subsequently, the problem is transformed to a solvable convex optimization problem with determination constraints. The dual-decomposition method is applied to solve the formulated optimization problem. To reduce the information exchange of the whole system, we propose a computationally efficient distributed iteration algorithm. Numerical results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed robust optimization algorithm.
INTRODUCTIONWith the rapid advancement and application of communication infrastructure, next generation mobile communication technologies, cloud computing, the internet of things and so on, the concept of smart city has been proposed and developed in recent years. Smart health care, smart transportation, smart buildings, smart homes, smart government, and smart electric grids may form the main parts of future smart cities. The smart city will bring us a more convenient and intelligent life in future. Nevertheless, it is a key problem to the development of smart city that establishes a robust communication network. To guarantee the high-speed communication requirements of the increasing users and the further transmission range, an army of base stations and other communication devices need to be constructed. Meanwhile, the large number of new communication devices not only increases the cost of communication operators but also increases the consumption of energy. Therefore, it is vital to enhance the communication quality and reduce the cost with a new communication technology. Relay-assisted communication plays an important role in extending the transmission range and enhancing the communication quality in wireless networks [1]. Lowpowered and high-capacity communication and transmission have become possible with the help of cooperative relay. With the rapid upsurge in services of cellular networks, energy consumption Apparently, the above Hessian matrix is definite. We conclude that the constraints form a convex feasible set. Therefore, the reformulated problem (P2) is a convex optimization problem.
