Asymptotically optimal water-filling in vector multiple-access channels

چکیده
Dynamic resource allocation is an important means to increase the sum capacity of fading multiple-access channels (MACs). In this paper, we consider vector multiaccess channels (channels where each user has multiple degrees of freedom) and study the effect of power allocation as a function of the channel state on the sum capacity (or spectral efficiency) defined as the maximum sum of rates of users per unit degree of freedom at which the users can jointly transmit reliably, in an information-theoretic sense, assuming random directions of received signal. Direct-sequence code-division multiple-access (DS-CDMA) channels and MACs with multiple antennas at the receiver are two systems that fall under the purview of our model. Our main result is the identification of a simple dynamic power-allocation scheme that is optimal in a large system, i.e., with a large number of users and a correspondingly large number of degrees of freedom. A key feature of this policy is that, for any user, it depends on the instantaneous amplitude of channel state of that user alone and the structure of the policy is “water-filling.” In the context of DS-CDMA and in the special case of no fading, the asymptotically optimal power policy of water-filling simplifies to constant power allocation over all realizations of signature sequences; this result verifies the conjecture made in [28]. We study the behavior of the asymptotically optimal water-filling policy in various regimes of number of users per unit degree of freedom and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). We also generalize this result to multiple classes, i.e., the situation when users in different classes have different average power constraints.

We adopt a game theoretic approach for the design and analysis of distributed resource allocation algorithms in fading multiple access channels. The users are assumed to be selfish, rational, and limited by average power constraints. We show that the sum-rate optimal point on the boundary of the multipleaccess channel capacity region is the unique Nash Equilibrium of the corresponding water-fil...

We investigate energy-efficiency issues and resource allocation policies for time division multi-access (TDMA) over fading channels in the power-limited regime. Supposing that the channels are frequency-flat block-fading and transmitters have full or quantized channel state information (CSI), we first minimize power under a weighted sum-rate constraint and show that the optimal rate and time al...

In this paper, based on the iterative water-filling (IWF) and primal-dual approaches, we proposed efficient algorithms to maximize the sum-rate and optimize the input distribution policy for the multi-user multiple input multiple output multiple access channels (MU-MIMO MAC) with concurrently accessing of the cognitive radio (CR) network. For the proposed IWF-CR algorithm, with more complicated...
