Abstract
Previous research efforts to optimize OFDMA resource allocation
with respect to communication performance have focused on formulations
considering only instantaneous per-symbol rate maximization,
and on solutions using suboptimal heuristic algorithms.
This paper intends to fill gaps in the literature through two key
contributions.
First, we formulate weighted sum ergodic capacity maximization
in OFDMA assuming the availability of perfect channel
state information (CSI).
Our formulations exploit time, frequency, and multi-user diversity,
while enforcing various notions of fairness through weighting factors
for each user.
Second, we derive algorithms based on a dual optimization framework
that solve the OFDMA ergodic capacity maximization problem with
O(M K) complexity per OFDMA symbol for
M users and K subcarriers, while achieving data
rates shown to be at least 99.9999% of the optimal rate in simulations
based on realistic parameters.
Hence, this paper attempts to demonstrate that OFDMA resource allocation
problems are not computationally prohibitive to solve optimally, even when
considering ergodic rates.
