Abstract

This paper studies the throughput maximization problem for a two-hop relay channel considering non-ideal circuit power. In particular, the relay operates in a half-duplex manner, and the decode-and-forward (DF) relaying scheme is adopted. Considering the extra power consumption by the circuits, the optimal power allocation to maximize the throughput of the considered system over the infinite time horizon is investigated. By transforming the non-convex problem into the quasiconcave one, the closed-form solution shows that the source and the relay transmit with certain probability, which is determined by the average power budget, circuit power consumption, and channel gains. Numerical results show that the optimal power allocation scheme outperforms other conventional schemes.
