Abstract:
This paper describes a practical and efficient adaptive subchannel, power and bit allocation algorithm for multiuser OFDM systems. Assuming perfect knowledge of CSI at the transmitter, we look at the problem of minimizing the total power consumption while maintaining individual rate requirements and QoS constraints. An average-SNR approximation is used to determine the bandwidth allocation while substantially reducing the computational complexity. The proposed algorithm guarantees improvement through each iteration and converges quickly to a stable suboptimal solution. Numerical results and complexity analysis show that the proposed algorithm offers a beneficial cost-versus-performance tradeoff compared to existing approaches.
