Requirements-oriented spectrum sharing for OFDMA cognitive radio networks by Chi ZHANG, Bi-qing ZENG, Jin-song YANG, Xiao-hong XIE

“…Considering the satisfaction of the secondary network communication requirements,a two-stage model was proposed to address the spectrum leasing and allocation problem in OFDMA cognitive radio networks(CRN).At the first stage of the model,the secondary base station(SBS)collected channel capacity requirements of the secondary network,and rent the spectrum resource from multiple primary base stations(PBS).The trade behaviors between the PBS and the SBS were modeled with a Bertrand game,and adopted the Nash equilibrium as the pricing scheme.At the second stage,with the Nash bargaining solution(NBS),the subcarriers and power allocation problem were defined as a nonlinear programming problem,and obtained the solution by Lagrange multiplier method.Comparing with the other spectrum allocation schemes,simulation results show the proposed spectrum sharing scheme can satisfy each secondary user’s communication requirements more fairly and efficiently.…”

Distributed robust beamforming algorithm for spectral coexistence in satellite and high altitude platform networks by Zining WANG, Min LIN, Fei LI, Lve HAN, Weiping ZHU

“…A distributed robust beamforming (BF) algorithm was proposed to improve spectrum efficiency for an integrated satellite and high altitude platform (HAP) network.Specifically, for the scenario where satellite network and HAP network adopted multicast and NOMA to serve their respective multiple users, an optimization problem was formulated to maximize the sum rate, subject to the rate requirements of both satellite and aerial terminals, and the transmit power budget of satellite and aerial platforms.Then, by considering both the imperfect channel state information (CSI) and the imperfect successive interference cancellation (SIC), S-procedure and sequential convex approximation were adopted to transform the nonconvex problem, and then a distributed BF algorithm using Lagrange duality was proposed to enable the spectral coexistence.Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can achieve a similar performance yet at a lower signaling overhead compared with the other existing works.…”

Energy efficiency optimization for sub-connected active reconfigurable intelligent surface-assisted wideband cell-free networks by Gangcan SUN, Shuo WANG, Bing NING, Wanming HAO

“…In the face of the high power consumption issue caused by the dense deployment of base stations in cell-free networks, a wideband cell-free network system with sub-connected active reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) was proposed.Firstly, based on the constraints of maximum power consumption at the active RIS, amplification factor, and maximum power consumption at the base station, a joint precoding design problem for the base station and RIS was formulated to maximize the energy efficiency.To solve the non-convex problem, advanced techniques including alternating optimization, block coordinate descent, Lagrange dual reconstruction, and multidimensional complex quadratic transformation were applied to transform the original problem into multiple sub-problems.By iteratively solving each sub-problem, the solutions of the original problem was ultimately obtained.The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme.…”

Optimization model and heuristic solution method for multi-channel cooperative sensing in cognitive radio networks by Wei YANG, Dong-song BAN, Huan-zhong LI, Wen-hua DOU

“…An optimization model under the scenario where multi-channels are cooperatively sensed and used by multi-secondary users (SU) was proposed.The model aims to maximize the system throughput and optimizes the parameters including the sensing time and the weight coefficient of the sampling result of each SU for each channel,meanwhile the false access probability for each channel must not violate the given constraints.To solve this non-linear optimization model,a sequential parameters optimization method(SPO)was proposed.The method begins with deriving the lower bound of the objective function of the optimization model.Then it maximizes this lower bound by optimizing the weight coefficients through solving a series of sub-optimal problems using Lagrange method,and finally finding an optimized sensing time parameter by the golden search algorithm.Extensive experiments by simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method and the advantage of the proposed model on improving the system throughput.…”

Joint optimization of power and channel access in cognitive radio network by Jiang ZHU, Qingmin DU, Shaowei BA

“…In cognitive radio networks,according to the problem of all users can access the same channel to communicate,two joint optimization schemes for different scenarios were proposed.When the system is infeasible,a scheme of joint optimal power and admission control was proposed.As admission control is the NP problem,the LP-SO was used to achieve optimize control.At the same time,the convergence of the proposed algorithm was analyzed and proved.When the system is feasible,a scheme of joint optimal power and transmission rate allocation was proposed,using the improved Lagrange duality algorithm to achieve optimize control.The numerical results show that compared with other admission control algorithms,the time complexity of proposed algorithm is increased,but it can converge quickly,effectively improves the number of admitted uses while reducing power consumption.In addition,the proposed algorithm can allocate transmission rate more fairly.…”

Algorithm design on energy efficiency maximization for UAV-assisted edge computing by Qihui WU, Wei WU

“…For the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV)-assisted edge computing system,a two-stage alternative algorithm was proposed to solve the formulated complex non-convex problem.Firstly,the formulated non-linear fractional programming problem was reformulated to the equivalent parametric problem by using Dinkelbach method.Secondly,two sub-problems were further considered based on it.By employing the Lagrange duality method,the closed-form solutions for the central processing unit frequencies and the number of data bits were derived.Finally,based on the solutions obtained,the conditions that the source node prefers to offload/share its data and the relay chooses to forward the computation results,as well as the approaches to achieve high energy efficiency were revealed.Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed design can achieve a performance improvement of up to 20 times over the conventional schemes.…”
