Zusammenfassung:Because of its outstanding performance in extending coverage and reducing transmit power, wireless relay cooperation is deemed as one of the promising techniques to realize green-broadband communication in the future. In such relay cooperative systems, optimal power allocation not only can prolong the lifetime of users, but also is an effective way to reduce radiation in the environment. In this paper, for amplify-and-forward-relay cooperative networks, where multiple communication pairs share a common relay, we propose a novel power allocation scheme, which has considerably lower complexity compared with the existing solution schemes. The objective of this paper is to minimize sum-source-power consumption under the conditions that the transmit power of all nodes in the network is constrained and their predetermined target signal-to-noise ratios are satisfied. By providing sufficient analytical evidence, we study the optimality, convergence, and computational complexity of our proposed scheme. Through numerical simulation, we further justify the effectiveness and efficacy of our scheme compared with the existing works.
