Power Efficient Frequency Domain Packet Scheduling for OFDMA Systems

As the enormous development of IT technology, the convergence technology enlarges its research areas. Recently, OFDMA which was widely used in satellite and wireline communications is applied to broadband wireless communication systems. In order to employ the OFDMA to next generation mobile systems, throughput maximization and power efficient control mechanism is needed. This paper proposes the multilevel scheme for the power efficient feedback of channel state information without degrading system performance. Also, we propose a sub-optimal resource allocation scheme based on a greedy algorithm which guarantees fairness with reduced complexity. Proposed scheme is evaluated by system level simulation which uses a spatial channel model and the results show that the proposed scheme follows proportional fair throughput and reduces signaling overheads for feedback.
