Abstract

Cooperative communication and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) technology are both promising candidates for next generation wireless communication systems. In this paper a Linear Programming (LP) based subcarrier allocation algorithm for cooperative multiuser OFDM system with grouped user is proposed. The proposed algorithm maximizes the data rate of all users over downlink under given constraints over non-sharing of carriers and fairness of data rate among all users. In this proposed algorithm the non sharing constraint of subcarriers have been relaxed initially into sharing constraint so that the non–convex optimization problem becomes a convex optimization problem, and thus, can solved efficiently using standard convex optimization tools. After maximizing total capacity of all active users in the system, the subcarrier allocation constraint is, then converted back to non-sharing constraint. The performance of proposed algorithm is studied and simulation results show that higher total capacity can be achieved using the proposed algorithm.
