Abstract:

In Rayleigh two-way relay channel, the power allocation problem aiming at minimizing the outage probability for bidirectional communication is investigated under the total power budget constraint. The closed-form solution for the optimal power allocation is developed. It shows that the optimal power allocation scheme always allocates half of the total power for the relay node. Furthermore, the best location for relay node is discussed. It indicates that the best relay location is at the right middle of the two end nodes. It is shown that two-way relay transmission with the optimal power allocation is superior to direct transmission in terms of outage probability.
