Frequency reuse in a cellular wireless communication environment gives rise to a phenomenon of cochannel interference. This paper introduces a power control strategy for OFDM based communication systems operating in such an environment. Among the existing power control schemes, IWF(iterative waterfilling) is known to exhibit relatively good performance. However, it requires feedback of power level and bit allocation information for each subcarrier from a receiver to its associated transmitter, which can lead to a considerable overhead, especially for the case of employing large number of subcarriers. Motivated by this, we present a simplified power control scheme with reduced overhead feedback, which allocates some nonzero identical power to the subcarriers of which channel conditions are above a certain threshold and zero power to the other ones. Computer simulations show that the proposed strategy produces a good approximation to the performance of the IWF in terms of the transmission power level while it requires less overhead feedback.

최근 전송량 및 주어진 SNR(signal to noise ratio)에 따른 수신 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 다중 안테나(multi-input multi-output) 시스템에 대한 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 다중 안테나 시스템은 이론적으로 송신 안테나 개수에 비례해서 전송량이 증가하거나 송 수신 안테나 개수에 비례하여 주어진 SNR에 따른 수신 성능을 향상시킨다. 이러한 MIMO 시스템의 서로 다른 송신단에서 서로 다른 성상을 전송할 때 효율적인 전력 할당은 시스템 성능 향상에 큰 영향을 미친다. 이에 본 논문은 4-QAM 및 16-QAM을 송 수신 안테나가 두 개인 V-BLAST 시스템에 적용하고, 전력을 다르게 할당하여 수신 시스템의 성능을 분석하였다. 이러한 서로 다른 전력 할당에 따른 성능 분석 결과를 이용하여 이동 통신 시스템에 적용하기 위한 가능성 및 활용성에 대하여 논의하였다.

Power allocation of soft frequency reuse(SFR) to increase cell edge user throughput by reducing inter-cell interference is proposed for coordinated cellular systems. SFR is the effective technique to increase cell edge user throughput, however, it costs the degradation of total system throughput. The cost increases when SFR operated in distributed resource controlled systems fails to be fast adaptive in the change of user distribution. The proposed scheme enables coordinated cells to control transmit power adaptively depending on user distribution so that it minimizes the loss of system throughput introduced from SFR while it guarantees enhancement of cell edge user throughput. Through system level simulation considering neighboring two cells, evaluation result for adaptive power allocation is shown compared with static power allocation.

We proposed a simple power allocation scheme to maximize network lifetime for "amplify and forward(AF)" and "decode and forward(DF)". To maximize network lifetime, it is important to allocate power fairly among nodes in a network as well as to minimize total transmitted power. In the proposed scheme, the allocated power is proportional to the residual power and also satisfies the required SNR at destination node. In this paper, we calculate power allocation in model of AF and DF. We evaluated the proposed power allocation scheme using extensive simulation and simulation results show that proposed power allocation obtains much longer network lifetime than the equal power allocation.

This paper proposes a power allocation method for multiple node beamforming with uniform circular array antennas to increase SIR of nodes in wireless mesh network. The proposed method calculates beamforming power allocation vectors that maximizes SIR satisfied with power constraint of HPA. The simulation results demonstrate the proposed method achieves the enhanced SIR of nodes than that of beamforming method.

We investigate the adaptive channel attenuation compensation of satellite OFDMA downlink users for minimum PAR (Peak to Average power Ratio), which is one of the main challenging issues in satellite OFDMA application. First, we analyze and compare PAR performances of two main different channel attenuation compensation schemes for OFDMA, i.e., PC-OFDMA (power control OFDMA) and AMC-OFDMA (Adaptive Modulation and Coding). While AMC-OFDMA maintains the constant transmission powers through entire user data subcarriers, PC-OFDMA has non-uniform subcarrier transmission powers because subcarrier powers are separately controlled to compensate each user's sub-channel attenuation. We newly found the fact that non-uniform subcarrier power in PC-OFDMA achieves rather reduced PAR compared to AMC-OFDMA and the amount of reduction becomes larger as the power differences among subcarriers increase. Also, there is an additional PAR reduction in PC-OFDMA by optimizing subcarrier grouping scheme for user's sub-channelization.

무선통신 환경에서 채널 용량이 증가하면 정해진 전송률에 대한 불능 확률(outage probability)이 감소하며, 따라서 통신의 신뢰도가 향상된다. 본 논문에서는 채널 페이딩에 대한 시간 상관성(time correlation)이 있는 환경에서 ARQ 시스템의 합 채널 용량을 향상시키는 전력 할당(power allocation) 기법에 대해 다룬다. 송신기에서 전송이 시작되기 전의 채널 정보를 수신기의 피드백을 통해 알고 있다고 가정하고, ARQ 의 재전송 시점의 채널의 확률분포를 다루었다. 이 분포를 통해 재전송 시점의 채널을 추정하고, ARQ 의 모든 재전송에 대한 합 채널 용량 최대화를 위한 전력 할당 문제를 공식화하였다. 이 문제에 대한 해를 분석적으로 도출하였으며, 모의실험 결과를 통해 제안된 전력 할당 기법으로 얻는 합 채널용량이 재전송 시 동일한 전송전력을 사용한 기존의 기법보다 증가함을 확인한다.

It is impossible to provide full diversity and full rate simultaneously using more than two transmit antennas in transmit diversity system. To do this, simple interference cancellation scheme and transmit power allocation scheme have been proposed, recently. But the former has increased noise power and the latter has increased interference which is induced by other channel in fading channel. In this paper, we propose an adaptive transmit power allocation algorithm to minimize the estimation error in the channel environments which have different fading levels each other and to improve the system performance.

In this paper, we propose the transmission scheme for the space-time block coded spatial multiplexing systems that have adaptive rate and power allocation per each transmit antenna through the use of feedback information related to channel state. Simulation results show that the adaptive power and rate transmission scheme gain more than 4.5 dB over conventional equal-power and rate transmission scheme.
