In this paper, an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assisted cooperative communication system is studied, wherein a source transmits information to the destination through an energy harvesting decode-and-forward UAV. It is assumed that the UAV can freely move in between the source-destination pair to set up line of sight communications with the both nodes. Since the battery of the UAV may be limite...

background: healthcare authorities, in all around the world, are faced with resources limitations and limitless needs of citizens. therefore, optimal resources allocation, particularly in the health sector and emergency system, seems to be of great importance. the present study aimed to determine the optimality rate of patients' distribution to hospitals by emergency stations based on the trans...

Wireless communication networks have recently attracted significant research attention. As a critical issue for improving network performance, efficient and intelligent resource allocation strategies have been intensively studied. This thesis consists of two studies on resource allocation strategy, specifically, joint bandwidth and power allocation strategy, for wireless communication networks ...

In this paper, we propose novel algorithms for optimal power allocation towards video transmission in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-based 4G networks. A unique feature of the schemes is that they employ diversity dependent subcarrier power distribution relying on a discrete wavelet transform (DWT)-based hierarchical video decompo...

In this thesis, we develop efficient algorithms for the jointly optimal power and chan­ nel resource allocation in different wireless cooperative multiple access systems. In addition, in some cases insight into the structure of the optimal allocation enables the development of modified cooperation schemes with better performance, and efficient algorithms are developed for jointly optimal power ...

In this paper, by maximizing the energy efficiency (EE), an optimal power allocation scheme is developed for downlink distributed antenna system (DAS). Different from conventional optimal power allocation schemes that need iterative calculation, the developed scheme can provide closed-form power allocation and no iteration is required. Based on the definition of EE, the optimized objective func...

Multiuser Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MU-OFDM) is one of the promising techniques for future cellular and wireless networks for achieving high downlink capacities. The objective of the next generation cellular and wireless networks, which are based on (MU-OFDM) is to increase the network efficiency by maximizing the total throughput of the system and minimizing the overall trans...
