Abstract

In this paper we study the problem of subframe, subchannel and power allocation in OFDMA-based multihop relay networks. The system consists of a base station (BS), a number of relay stations (RS) and mobile stations (MS). We consider frame by frame scheduling, where the frame is divided into two subframes such as BS-RS and RS-MS subframes. We study two different problems, satisfying link rate requirements with minimum weighted total power and maximizing proportional fairness. For the first problem we find the optimal solution and also propose a less complex subframe and bandwidth allocation scheme with good performance. For the second problem, we propose an algorithm that outperforms an existing scheme with less feedback.
