Abstract:

This paper proposes a proportional fair(PF) resource allocation algorithm for the OFDMA cellular relay system. Assuming that both the base station(BS) and relay station(RS) can independently schedule users, the proposed algorithm can achieve proportional fairness for all users served by the BS and its subordinate RSs through a two-step resource allocation, i.e.,resource partition and user scheduling. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can achieve a good throughput-fairness trade-off.

Key words: cellular radio systems, relay, orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing, resource allocation, proportional fair
