Abstract:  Resource allocation algorithms are proposed to maximize the capacity of single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) relay systems. Taking into account the subchannel adjacency restriction of SC-FDMA, an optimal algorithm is presented to reformulate this problem as a set partitioning problem.
By using the relevant methods in operations research, the optimal solution can be obtained. A suboptimal algorithm based on the greedy heuristic thinking is also proposed to reduce computational complexity of the optimal resource allocation. Simulation results show that, in amplify-and-forward and decode-and-forward relay-assisted SC-FDMA systems, spectral efficiency of the optimal algorithm is much higher than that of the random algorithm. The greedy algorithm with much lower complexity performs quite close to the optimal algorithm.
