Resource Allocation for Two-Way OFDM Relay Networks with Fairness Constraints

Abstract

In this paper, a new resource allocation scheme is proposed for a two-way OFDM relay network. In the proposed scheme, two terminals exchange information with the help of multiple relays, and subcarriers and their power are successively allocated to the relays to maximize sum capacity. To achieve fairness for the relays, power constraint on each relay is imposed. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme improves sum capacity and fairness significantly.
