Dynamic spectrum allocation based on one-band multi-winner auction by Wen-zhu ZHANG, Ling-yun WANG

“…In order to improve the effectiveness of traditional auction in DSA (dynamic spectrum allocation) issue in cognitive radio networks,a new dynamic spectrum allocation algorithm based on one-band multi-winner auction was proposed.Compared with the original greedy algorithm,the new algorithm can achieve better spectrum allocation solutions with lower computational complexity by introducing the multiple greedy strategy.It increases the seller's revenue by improving the VCG (vickery-clarke-groves) mechanism,while retaining the dominant strategy incentive compatible property.In addition,it suppresses the occurrence of collusion effectively.Simulation results show that the algorithm proposed can get spectrum allocation efficiency close to the optimal solution and increase the auction revenue significantly.…”

Beamforming design for energy-constrained full-duplex two-way relaying system by Wei WANG, Liyuan AN, Guoan ZHANG, Shibing ZHANG

“…A beamforming design was proposed under simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT) protocol.A utility optimization problem was considered aiming to maximize the harvested energy by jointly optimizing the beamforming matrix,the power splitting ratio at the relay and the transmit powers at the sources.Since the formulated joint optimization problem was nonconvex,it was difficult or even intractable to obtain the global optimal solution.To overcome this issue,the objective problem into three subproblems was decoupled which could be solved by the proposed semidefinite relaxation technique and the derived constraints activation solution,respectively.The solution was finally obtained with the proposed convergent iterative algorithm.Simulation results show that the proposed joint optimization scheme achieves the optimal performance.Compared with the traditional half-duplex (HD) algorithm,the proposed algorithm can obtain 2~3 times energy harvesting (EH) efficiency improvement,while the computational complexity increases slightly.…”
