Multi-Objective Optimization for Energy-and Spectral-Efficiency Tradeoff in In-band Full-Duplex (IBFD) Communication

The problem of joint power and sub-channel allocation to maximize energy efficiency (EE) and spectral efficiency (SE) simultaneously in in-band full-duplex (IBFD) orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) network is addressed considering users' QoS in both uplink and downlink. The resulting optimization problem is a non-convex mixed-integer non-linear program (MINLP) which is generally difficult to solve. In order to strike a balance between the EE and SE, we restate this problem as a multi-objective optimization problem (MOOP) which aims at maximizing system's throughput and minimizing system's power consumption, simultaneously. To this end, the εconstraint method is adopted to transform the MOOP into single-objective optimization problem (SOOP). The underlying problem is solved via an efficient solution based on the majorization minimization (MM) approach. Furthermore, in order to handle binary subchannel allocation variable constraints, a penalty function is introduced. Simulation results unveil interesting tradeoffs between EE and SE.
