Power Allocation Optimization for Spectrum-Efficient Multi-Pair Two-Way Massive MIMO Full-Duplex Relay over Ricean Channels

Abstract

In this paper we investigate the power allocation optimization for spectrum efficient multi-pair two-way massive MIMO (TWMM) amplify-and-forward (AF) full-duplex (FD) relay over Ricean fading channels, where multiple user-pairs exchange information within pair through a AF-FD relay with very large number of antennas, while each user equipped with a single antenna. First, the zeroforcing reception/zeroforcing transmission and maximum-ratio combining/maximum ratio transmission processing matrices with imperfect channel state information at the relay are presented. Then, the unified asymptotic signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) expression of the system at general power scaling schemes are investigates. Finally, the joint user-relay power allocation (JURPA) scheme is proposed to improve the spectral efficiency of TWMM-AF-FD relay system. Simulation results show that the proposed JURPA scheme outperforms traditional user-side only power allocation scheme.
