Tackling problems from the least complicated to the most, “Resource Allocation in Uplink OFDMA Wireless Systems” provides readers with a comprehensive look at resource allocation and scheduling techniques (for both single and multi-cell deployments) in uplink OFDMA wireless networks-relying on convex optimization and game theory to thoroughly analyze performance. Inside, readers will find topics and discussions on: • Formulating and solving the uplink ergodic sum-rate maximization problem • Proposing suboptimal algorithms that achieve a close performance to the optimal case at a considerably reduced complexity and lead to fairness when the appropriate utility is used • Investigating the performance and extensions of the proposed suboptimal algorithms in a distributed base station scenario • Studying distributed resource allocation where users take part in the scheduling process, and considering scenarios with and without user collaboration • Formulating the sum-rate maximization problem in a multi-cell scenario, and proposing efficient centralized and distributed algorithms for intercell interference mitigation • Discussing the applicability of the proposed techniques to state-of-the-art wireless technologies, LTE and WiMAX, and proposing relevant extensions Along with schematics and figures featuring simulation results, “Resource Allocation in Uplink OFDMA Wireless Systems” is a valuable book for wireless communications and cellular systems professionals and students.
