Résumé:
We consider the downlink resource allocation for a multi-carrier-based asynchronous cognitive
radio network with statistical knowledge of the channel state information (CSI) of both primary and
secondary systems available at the secondary base station. The problem of secondary utility maximization
is investigated under primary and secondary user outage constraints and total power constraint. Analyses
are provided for cases where both primary and secondary systems are utilizing either orthogonal
frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) or filter-bank based multi-carrier (FBMC) modulations. The
highly complex yet challenging and non-convex joint power-subcarrier allocation problem is tackled
by leveraging the principle of alternating optimization (AO) techniques. A per-carrier outage-based
solution is provided for the subcarrier allocation stage. In the second stage, we introduce an upper
bound to the outage constraints to ensure tractability. We propose an efficient convex approximation
method to obtain near-optimal solutions of the centralized power control problem. Furthermore, to reduce computational complexity, a distributed implementation based on dual decomposition method is
designed. Extensive simulation results are further provided to corroborate the validity of the theoretical
findings and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
