Abstract
This paper investigates the problem of dynamic multiuser subchannel allocation in the downlink of OFDM systems. The assumptions are that the channel model is quasi-static and that the base station has perfect channel information. In traditional TDMA or FDMA systems, resource allocation for each user is non-adaptively fixed, and the water-filling power spectrum is known to be optimal. Since the subchannel allocations among the users are not optimized, a group of users is likely to suffer from poor channel gains resulting from large path loss and random fading. To resolve this problem, we derive a multiuser convex optimization problem to find the optimal allocation of subchannels, and propose a low-complexity adaptive subchannel allocation algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs almost as well as the optimal solution. Also, a higher spectral efficiency is achieved for a larger number of users in a cell due to the multiuser diversityKeywords
