Dynamic Spectrum Management Algorithms for Multiuser Communication Systems

Abstract

Dynamic Spectrum Management (DSM) is an effective method for reducing the effect of interference in both wireless and wireline communication systems. This chapter discusses various DSM algorithms, including Optimal Spectrum Balancing (OSB), Iterative Spectrum Balancing (ISB), Iterative Water-Filling (IWF), Selective Iterative Water-filling (SIW), Successive Convex Approximation for Low complExity (SCALE), the Difference of Convex functions Algorithm (DCA), Distributed Spectrum Balancing (DSB), Autonomous Spectrum Balancing (ASB), and Constant Offset ASB using Multiple Reference Users (ASB-MRU). They are compared in terms of their performance (achievable data-rate) by extensive simulation results and their computational complexity.
