Energy Efficient Cross layer Resource Allocation for Heterogeneous Wireless Access in NS2

In this paper, an uplink cross-layer resource allocation problem based on imperfect channel state information (CSI) is modeled as min-max fractional stochastic programming for heterogeneous wireless access. The resource allocation is subject to constraints in delay, service outage probability, system radio bandwidth, and total power consumption. The joint bandwidth and power allocations are based on CSI at the physical layer and queue state information (QSI) at the link layer. In order to determine the transmission rate of each mobile terminal according to the queue buffer occupancy, a probability upper bound of exceeding the maximum packet delay in terms of a required transmission rate is presented based on M/D/1 model. Then, the bandwidth and power allocation problem is transformed into bi-convex programming, and an optimal distributed bandwidth and power allocation algorithm is proposed. To reduce computational complexity, a suboptimal distributed bandwidth and power allocation algorithm is presented. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms improve the energy efficiency greatly.
