Fair Resource Allocation with QoS Guarantee in Secure Multiuser TDMA Networks

Abstract EN

We investigate a secure multiuser time division multiple access (TDMA) system with statistical delay quality of service (QoS) guarantee in terms of secure effective capacity.

An optimal resource allocation policy is proposed to minimize the β-fair cost function of the average user power under the individual QoS constraint, which also balances the energy efficiency and fairness among the users.

First, convex optimization problems associated with the resource allocation policy are formulated.

Then, a subgradient iteration algorithm based on the Lagrangian duality theory and the dual decomposition theory is employed to approach the global optimal solutions.

Furthermore, considering the practical channel conditions, we develop a stochastic subgradient iteration algorithm which is capable of dynamically learning the intended wireless channels and acquiring the global optimal solution.

It is shown that the proposed optimal resource allocation policy depends on the delay QoS requirement and the channel conditions.

The optimal policy can save more power and achieve the balance of the energy efficiency and the fairness compared with the other resource allocation policies.
