… In this paper, we propose a novel MEC framework with a user … the user virtualization assisted
by the full-duplex communication … In this section, we formulate the user association, radio …

… with a large number of groups, since the full antenna array is not exploited in the transmission…
the BS-user association scales exponentially with the number of DL and UL users. Recently…

… considers a flexible duplex system, denoted by α-duplex (α-D) … , so as to determine userto-BS
association, user-to-channel … In the context of this paper, user to BS association denotes …

… 3.1 Bipartite Graph-Based Resource Allocation Algorithms for Full Duplex Links For the
full duplex MAC protocol proposed in this paper, it can be understood as spectrum resource …

… users that are simultaneously served by the BS [4–6]. In this paper, various aspects such as
user association… We assume time division duplex (TDD) operation with reciprocity-based CSI …

… is allocated to at most two DL users and two UL users. The authors in [9] studied the joint
optimization problem of mode selection, user association and power allocation in a multi-cell …

… We define Group-1, including strong downlink users D 1 and weak uplink users U 1 , and
Group-2, including weak downlink users D 2 and strong uplink users U 2 . Let α ( k ) ∈ ( 0 , 1 ) …

… From the full duplex constraint (14), we know that adjacent D2D links without the same
transmitter and receiver must use the same sub-channel. Thus, we define a set for all D2D links G …

… In this subsection, we compare the performance of halfduplex and full-duplex modes of
operation at the user under the so called “RF chain preserved” condition.A half-…
