Spectrum underlay technique for secondary multicast network is an effective approach in cognitive radio. In such communication schemes, quality of service constraints are satisfied for the secondary users while interference to the primary users is kept under a threshold. Previous literature consists of suboptimum methods for the solution of the individual problems such as antenna and user selection. In this paper, the joint antenna and user selection problem is considered and solved in an optimum manner. Complete problem is formulated for a discrete beamformer which permits linear constraints and cost function resulting a form suitable for mixed integer 0-1 linear programming. It is shown that antenna selection is very effective to improve the user signal-to-noise ratio while user selection can be employed to increase feasibility. The proposed method performs significantly better compared to suboptimum only-antenna and only-user selection methods in the literature. The problem is further modified to design robust beamformers for any l(p) ball uncertainty region by using a linear approximation. Several simulations are done and it is shown that the proposed approach generates significant improvements in the transmit power and the number of serviced secondary users in a quality of service aware scenario.

Optimum Discrete Max-Min Style Broadcast Beamforming Design Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2014-04-25) In this paper, max-mm style transmit beamformer design for single group multicast (broadcast) scenario is considered. The phase and amplitude values of beamformer vector coefficients are selected from finite discrete sets. With the help of integer variables, original optimization problem is converted to a linear form appropriate for mixed integer linear programming. The solution is always feasible as long as the total power is above a certain value. Branch and cut strategy guarantees the optimum solution. P...
Optimum discrete transmit beamformer design DEMİR, ÖZLEM TUĞFE; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2015-01-01) In this paper, transmit beamformer design problem is considered for single group multicast case. This problem is treated in discrete phase and amplitude and converted to a linear form. The solution of this linear optimization problem is always feasible as long as the total transmit power is above a certain value. The proposed method is guaranteed to find the optimum solution. This new approach is used to design discrete phase-only (DPOB) and discrete phase-amplitude beamformers (DPAB). It is shown that the ...
OPTIMUM DESIGN OF DISCRETE TRANSMIT PHASE ONLY BEAMFORMER Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2013-09-13) Transmit beamformer design usually results suboptimum bearnformers in multicast scenario. In this paper, discrete phase only beamformer design is considered. The design problem is cast in such a form that the solution is always feasible and optimum beamformer can be found using the branch and cut algorithm. Beamformer phase terms and their interrelations are expressed with a set of cosine vectors which lead to linear set of constraint equations that can be solved with mixed integer linear prograrmning. It i...
OPTIMUM PHASE-ONLY DISCRETE BROADCAST BEAMFORMING WITH ANTENNA AND USER SELECTION IN INTERFERENCE LIMITED COGNITIVE RADIO NETWORKS Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2015-04-24) Phase-only beamforming presents certain advantages in radar and communication systems. In cognitive radio, antenna and user selection are the two tools for increasing the quality of service (QoS) for the users. In this paper, discrete single group multicast transmit phase-only beamformer design is presented with antenna subset and user selection. The problem is converted into linear form and solved efficiently by using mixed integer linear programming to find the optimum subset of antennas and secondary use...
OPTIMUM DISCRETE DISTRIBUTED BEAMFORMING FOR SINGLE GROUP MULTICASTING RELAY NETWORKS WITH RELAY SELECTION Demir, Özlem Tuğfe; Tuncer, Temel Engin (2015-04-24) In this paper, broadcast beamforming with relay selection is considered in wireless relay networks where there is no direct link between the source and the receivers. A source node transmits common information to many users employing multiple relays which use amplify-and-forward relay protocol. The channel state information is assumed to be available at a single relay to compute the relay weights and distribute them. Discrete relay weights are used due to several advantages including decreased overhead for ...
