Abstract
AbstractMultiuser orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) is a promising technology to achieve high uplink/downlink (DL) capacities in the next generation broadband wireless networks such as WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access). In this paper, we investigate the DL adaptive power allocation (APA) in multiuser OFDM system from the perspective of cross‐layer design. Specifically, we formulate APA as an optimization problem with the traffic profile of each user asit a priori knowledge. To solve the optimization problem, we develop a fairness‐constrained optimal prioritized effective throughput (PET) strategy and the corresponding iterative algorithms, aiming at balancing the prioritized effective throughput and the linear or logarithmic user satisfaction‐based fairness. Simulation results show that our proposed APA optimization approach can achieve satisfying performance. Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
