Optimal Relay Power Allocation for Amplify-and-Forward Relay Networks with Non-linear Power Amplifiers


الملخص بالإنكليزية

In this paper, we propose an optimal relay power allocation of an Amplify-and-Forward relay networks with non-linear power amplifiers. Based on Bussgang Linearization Theory, we depict the non-linear amplifying process into a linear system, which lets analyzing system performance easier. To obtain spatial diversity, we design a complete practical framework of a non-linear distortion aware receiver. Consider a total relay power constraint, we propose an optimal power allocation scheme to maximum the receiver signal-to-noise ratio. Simulation results show that proposed optimal relay power allocation indeed can improve the system capacity and resist the non-linear distortion. It is also verified that the proposed transmission scheme outperforms other transmission schemes without considering non-linear distortion.
