Resource Allocation for URLLC Service in In-Band Full-Duplex-Based V2I Networks

This paper investigates the first resource management problem for vehicular-to-infrastructure (V2I) networks under the in-band full-duplex (IBFD) backhauling scheme with guaranteed ultra-reliable and low-latency (URLLC) service. The considered networks suffers from interference caused by three node transmission in IBFD scheme and the mobility of vehicular user equipments (VUEs). The resource allocation problem is formulated to jointly optimize VUE association, resource block assignment (RA) and power allocation (PA), while satisfying the reliability and latency constraints at the same time. The formulated problem is a mixed integer non-linear problem with non-convex objective function and constraints. Finding globally optimal solution for this type of problem is still an open problem. To develop tractable solutions, the original problem is firstly simplified using derived equivalent expression for the objective function. The proposed method then decomposed it into RA and PA sub-problems. In each iteration, the PA sub-problem is solved for a set of given PA solution; while the solution for PA sub-problem is searched under determined RA results. The RA and PA sub-problems are solved iteratively until the converging condition is achieved. Theoretical analysis proves that the proposed method achieves Nash-stable equilibrium and local optimality for RA and PA sub-problems respectively. Simulation results verify the effectiveness of the derived performance analysis and demonstrate that the proposed algorithm outperforms the state-of-the-art algorithms in the literatures.
