Multi-Stage Resource Allocation with Carrier Aggregation

In this chapter, we present a resource allocation with carrier aggregation optimization problem to allocate the eNodeB’s carrier resources optimally among users in its coverage area while taking into consideration the rates allocated to each user from other carriers for cellular system [3–5]. We propose two multi-stage resource allocation with carrier aggregation approaches. The first approach uses distributed (decentralized) multi-stage algorithms to allocate users, under the coverage area of a primary carrier and a secondary carrier, the resources from both carriers. The second approach uses centralized multi-stage algorithms to allocate users the resources optimally from all in band carriers and give each user the ability to select its primary and secondary carriers based on their offered prices in order to provide a minimum price for the allocated resources.
