Low complexity adaptive beamforming and power allocation for OFDM over wireless networks

Abstract
In this paper, the pegormance of a multiuser wireless net- work using OFDM, combined with Power Control and Adaptive Beamforming for uplink transmission is presented. An adaptive power control algorithm is exploited to achieve the desired Signal to Noise and Integerence Ratio (SINR) at each subchannel and increase the power eficiency of the mobile transmitter. Therefol; we can achieve a better over- all error probability with abed total power. A distributed iterative algorithm is used to jointly update the transmission power and the beamformer weights at each subchannel so that it can converge to the optimal solution for both power and beamforming vectors at each subchannel. Another al- gorithm has been proposed to decrease the complexity re- sulting from the number of beamformers and FFT blocks. The algorithms use only the interference measured locally by the transmittel: Unlike most of the loading algorithms which optimize the bit distribution and subchannel power allocation for a single transmitter, this approach tries to optimize the power allocation and decrease the integerence for the whole network.
