OFDMA Resource Allocation Results by Prof. Evans' Group
Abstract
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access
(OFDMA) basestations allow multiple users to transmit simultaneously
on different subcarriers during the same symbol period.
This paper considers basestation allocation of subcarriers and power
to each user to maximize the sum of user data rates,
subject to constraints on total power, bit error rate, and
proportionality among user data rates. Previous allocation methods have
been iterative nonlinear methods suitable for offline optimization.
In the special high subchannel SNR case, an iterative root-finding
method has linear-time complexity in the number of users and
N log N complexity in the number of subchannels.
We propose a non-iterative method that is made possible by our
relaxation of strict user rate proportionality constraints.
Compared to the root-finding method, the proposed method waives
the restriction of high subchannel SNR, has significantly lower
complexity, and in simulation, yields higher user data rates.
