This paper aims at solving two classes of energy efficiency (EE) maximization problems in multiple channels wireless communication systems. First, the EE maximization problem with sum power constraint is solved based on the geometric water-filling approach; and second, the approach is extended into the EE maximization problem with additional least throughput requirement constraint. Our proposed algorithms make use of the water-filling structure of the optimal solution and provide exact and computation efficient solution to the energy-efficient power allocation problems. The proposed algorithms also have excellent scalability, which is applicable for large-scale wireless communication systems. Optimality of the proposed algorithms is strictly proved, and the proposed algorithms only require low-degree polynomial computational complexity. Numerical results are presented to demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithms. To the best of our knowledge, no prior algorithms in the existing literature could provide such solutions to the EE maximization problems under the merit of exactness and the efficiency.

This paper tackles a power minimization problem of interleave-division multiple-access (IDMA) systems over a fading multiple-access channel. The problem is minimizing the total power received by the receiver while keeping the bit error rates (BERs) of all users below a predefined value. The original formulation of the problem has highly nonlinear and implicitly defined functions, which render most existing optimization methods incapable. A new formulation is proposed in this paper, whose solution can effectively be obtained by a branch-and-bound (B&B) technique. An algorithm is devised based on B&B, and its effectiveness is also demonstrated by numerical experiments of systems with a moderate numbers of users. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper considers a heavy loaded full-duplex (FD) small cell consisting of one FD base station and multiple half-duplex users where the number of subchannels is less than the number of uplink and downlink users. With the objective of maximizing the total sum-rate, a joint power allocation, and user pairing problem is formulated. To solve this problem, a novel decomposition method is proposed, which decouples the power allocation and user pairing problem into two subproblems. It is proven that the optimal solution of subproblems is the optimal solution of the original problem. Then, optimal algorithms are developed for the two subproblems. Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm achieves better performance compared with the baselines of the greedy algorithm and random pairing algorithm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
