Abstract
With the ever-increasing deployment of wireless communication technologies, effective management of scarce power and radio spectrum resources is of primary concern. The available bandwidth spectrum should be utilized in the most efficient and controlled way for practical economic growth of industries in conformity with the evolving demand of energy for powering wireless devices. In the proposed optimization scheme, energy management and limited spectrum sharing are distributively implemented for handling quality of service provisioning and potential resource allocation across multiple nodes with inherent operational capability deficiencies. We employ cross-layer information exchange and convex optimization techniques to simultaneously achieve more efficient radio spectrum usage and optimal energy consumption in ad-hoc wireless networks with distributed scenarios. We consider the time-invariant additive white Gaussian noise channel and the time-varying Rayleigh fading channel to study the trade-off between the two network design objectives of achieving improved spectrum efficiency and minimizing the energy overhead in data routing paradigm. The original problem is transformed into an equivalent convex optimization problem through logarithmic processing to obtain the approximate global optimal solution. Moreover, the robustness and efficiency of the proposed framework is evaluated in large-scale set ups to provide the scalability analysis on both the employed performance objectives. The developed optimization scheme is compared with the machine learning models previously proposed in literature by employing the computational and/or time complexity metrics. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed optimization model is substantiated through the simulation comparison results with the existing schemes in terms of various key performance parameters such as throughput, energy efficiency, and average bit errors.
