Abstract

In this paper, we study the problem of optimal resource allocation for lifetime maximization in an orthogonal-frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) system with decode-and-forward relay. The goal is to minimize total energy cost of the system by jointly optimizing power allocation, subcarrier pairing and relay selection. We present a heuristic solution that is composed of two parts. The first part is an optimal power allocation approach to allocate power to a subcarrier pair of the source and the relay. The second part is a modified Hungarian algorithm to make subcarrier pairing and relay selection. Evaluations show that the presented scheme outperforms other schemes in the total transmitted data and the network lifetime.
