Abstract

This paper deals with design and analysis of user scheduling and power allocation for multi-antenna OFDM systems with DPC, ZF-DPC, ZF-BF and TDMA transmit strategies. We consider the general multi-user downlink scheduling problem and power minimization with multi-user rate constraints. According to the channel state, it is shown that there is a power optimal policy which selects a subset of users in each scheduling interval. We present user selection algorithms for DPC, ZF-DPC, ZF-BF and TDMA for multi-antenna OFDM system in broadcast channels, and we also present the practical water-filling solution in this paper. By the selected users with the consideration of fairness, we derive the power optimization algorithm with multi-user rate constraints. We also analyze the power duality of uplink-downlink for the transmit strategies of DPC, ZF-DPC and ZF-BF. Simulation results show that the present user-scheduling algorithm and power minimization algorithm can achieve good power performance, and that the scheduling algorithm can guarantee fairness.
