Exact Resource Allocation over Fair Wireless Relay Networks

In relay-enabled cellular networks, the intertwined nature of network agents calls for complex schemes to allocate wireless resources. Resources need to be distributed among mobile users while considering how relay resources are allocated, and constrained by the traffic rate achievable by base stations and over backhaul links. In this work, we derive a resource allocation scheme that achieves max-min fairness across mobile users. Furthermore, the optimal allocation is found with linear complexity with respect to the number of mobile users and relays.
