Combined Uplink Resource Reservation and Power Control for Relay-Based OFDMA Systems

This work presents a combined Uplink Resource Reservation and Power Control framework for Relay-Based OFDMA systems, i.e. for typical IMT-Advanced candidate systems. The framework serves to provide both fair uplink scheduling and a balanced link budget in a relay deployment. The performance of the proposed framework in a suburban cellular setup is evaluated by means of stochastic, event-driven simulation.
