Abstract

An Energy Efficient Subcarrier-power Allocation (EESA) scheme is proposed to improve the Power Amplifier (PA) energy efficiency. The proposed scheme is applied for the Polarization-Amplitude-Phase Modulation (PAPM) in the channel with Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD). Considering a multiuser downlink system, utilizing the diversity of the polarization characteristic on each subcarrier caused by PMD, EESA scheme can make PA energy efficiency optimal under the constraint of each user terminal's data demand. To reduce the allocation's computationally complexity, the EESA scheme performs the subcarrier allocation and power allocation separately. Firstly, by assuming the equal power distribution, the subcarrier is allocated through Differential Evolution (DE); then based the obtained subcarrier allocation method, a two-step allocation algorithm is presented to distribute the PA input power on each subcarrier. Through numerical calculation, the optimal parameters setting of DE is examined. Our results show that the EESA scheme is able to achieve significant improvement in PA energy efficiency.
