This chapter reviews fundamental protocol engineering aspects and presents resource allocation approaches for wireless relay networks. Important cooperative diversity protocols and their typical applications in different wireless network environments are first described. Then, performance analysis and QoS provisioning issues for wireless networks using cooperative diversity are discussed. Finally, resource allocation in wireless relay networks through power allocation for both single and multi-user scenarios are presented. For the multi-user case, we consider relay power allocation under different fairness criteria with or without user minimum rate requirements. When users have minimum rate requirements, we develop a joint power allocation and addmission control algorithm with low-complexity to circumvent the high complexity of the underlying problem. Numerical results are then presented, which illustrate interesting throughput and fairness tradeoff and demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed power control and addmission control algorithms.

Abstract In this journal, we investigate the beam-domain channel estimation and power allocation in hybrid architecture massive multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) communication systems. First, we propose a low-complexity channel estimation method, which utilizes the beam steering vectors achieved from the direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation and beam gains estimated by low-overhead pilots. Based on the estimated beam information, a purely analog precoding strategy is also designed. Then, the optimal power allocation among multiple beams is derived to maximize spectral efficiency. Finally, simulation results show that the proposed schemes can achieve high channel estimation accuracy and spectral efficiency.
