Abstract:

For multi-user resource allocation in orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based cognitive radio (CR) networks, a resource allocation algorithm is proposed to maximize system capacity under the constraint of transmission power budget, interference threshold of primary users, and proportional fairness among secondary users. A subcarrier allocation scheme based on genetic algorithm (GA) is designed. Particle swarm optimization (PSO) combined with multistage punishment function is then used to power allocation. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can obtain a good system capacity close to the optimal method, and improve proportional fairness among secondary users with low computation complexity.
