Abstract: —Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) is a promising multiple access technique for next generation wireless communication such as WiMAX, LTE, IMT-A etc because of its high spectral efficiency and inherent robustness against frequency selective fading. Inclusion of relays into the system further improves the system performance. The asymmetric radio resource allocation problem for cooperative relay assisted OFDMA wireless networks with the objective of maximizing the data rate is addressed in this paper. In cooperative communication the transmission from base station to mobile stations is assisted by decode-and-forward relays. To reduce the computational complexity of its optimal solution, the proposed scheme is sub-divided into three subsections. The first section is to select the relays and then the subcarrier is allocated to the selected relays. As the next step, power is allocated to each subcarrier. Simulation results shows that the proposed scheme achieves better performance than the existing techniques
