Introduction • The relay system, with its many merits, is one of the most promising techniques for the future of mobile communications systems. • The resource allocation mechanism of the relay system is divided into the centralized and distributed methods, according to the role of resource manager. • In the centralized method, BS controls all information from BS-MS, BS-RS, RS-RS, and RS-MS links.
Introduction Motivation If more RS is added in the system, BS must control more information and the information collection time and algorithm execution time will be longer. It generates too much signaling overhead and complexity. Goal To propose methods that have almost the same performance as the centralized method but lower complexity and higher flexibility compared to the centralized method.
BS MS MS MS RS1 RS2 RSM System Model • RS is a fixed station. • (2) The channel state information (CSI) is known • to the transmitter (BS or RS). • (3) There is a protocol to gather CSI and • broadcast the allocation results and • the protocol uses separate control channel. • (4) The mobility velocity of MS is slow so that • the BS-MS or RS-MS connection is not • altered during resource allocation. • (5) One MS can communicate with only one BS • or RS.
Problem formulation BS allocates resources to the directly connected mobile stations and relay stations, first. Separate and Sequential Allocation (SSA): RS uses the assigned subcarriers from BS. Separate and Reuse Allocation (SRA): All system subcarriers independently.
BS MS1 MS2 MS3 MS4 MS5 MS6 MS7 RS1 RS2 Centralized method Overall achievable capacity:
Centralized method C1 is a constraint for the correct value of the subcarrier assignment indicator
Centralized method C2 is a constraint so that subcarrier n is not shared by severalMSs.
Centralized method C3 is the rate requirement for each MS. rk: The achievable data rate of user k. Rk: Minimum data rate requirement of user k.
BS MS MS MS RS Semi-distributed methods Step-I Step-II • SSA • SRA
BS MS MS MS MS MS RS RS Semi-distributed methods - Step-I The reported raterequirement of RS is the sum of the raterequirements of the MSs connected to RS.
Semi-distributed methods - Step-II (SSA) SSA: RS m allocates subcarriers using only assigned Nrm subcarriers from BS. The real number of used subcarriers in RS.
Semi-distributed methods - Step-II (SRA) SRA: RS m allocates all N subcarriers to MSs.
Conclusions • In this paper, they suggest two semi-distributed methods, the SSA and the SRA methods, for an OFDMA relay system. • These methods reduce the large burden of the BS and offer an easy extension of the traditional BS based system.
