Joint power, Rate, and Channel Allocation in Multilink (Cognitive) Radio System

We consider multi-constrained power, rate and channelallocation crafted for low power consumption, delaytolerant traffic, and under interfering link conditions thatmay be used in a cognitive radio system. Specifically, aniterative distributed algorithm, based on a sum-powerconstrained sum-rate maximization with upper (andlower) per user and channel power and rate constraints,as well as upper per user sum-power and sum-rateconstraints is developed. The feasibility and performanceof the algorithm is demonstrated by simulation in acellular system. Simulations show that the multipleconstraints are handled while improving the sum-rate vs. sum-power relative an “equal power adaptive rate” RRM approach.© 2009 IEEE.
