Power Allocation Scheme in Multi-Hop MIMO Amplify-and-Forward Relay Networks

With perfect channel state information at all the transmission terminals, the asymptotic capacity of multi-hop multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) amplify-andforward(AF) relay channels is derived. Although the derivation is based on the assumption of a large number of antennas, simulation results show that the derived expression is surprisingly accurate for even a small number of antennas, and may even be superior to existing results. In addition, based on the asymptotic result, we present different power allocation schemes to (i) minimization the transmit power; (ii) maximization the network throughput; (iii) minimization the transmit power over all source. Fortunately, the proposed power allocation problems can be formulated using geometric programming(GP). Therefore, the optimal power distribution among the multi-hop relay can be obtained efficiently. For multiuser scenarios, since it is possible that the QoS of each user cannot be satisfied simultaneously, we study jointly admission control and power allocation optimization problem. This joint problem is NP-hard. Therefor, we propose an iterative algorithm to reduced the complexity.
