  2. User 1 frequency Base Station User M (Subcarrier and power allocation) Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) • Used in IEEE 802.16d/e (now) and 3GPP-LTE (2009) • Multiple users assigned different subcarriers • Inherits advantages of OFDM • Granular exploitation of diversity among users through channel state information (CSI) feedback . . .

  3. OFDMA Resource Allocation • How do we allocate K datasubcarriers and total power P to M users to optimize some performance metric? • E.g. IEEE 802.16e: K = 1536, M¼40 / sector • Very active research area • Difficult discrete optimization problem (NP-complete [Song & Li, 2005]) • Brute force optimal solution: Search through MK subcarrier allocations and determine power allocation for each

  4. Related Work * Considered some form of temporal diversity by maximizing an exponentially windowed running average of the rate ** Independently developed a similar instantaneous continuous rate maximization algorithm *** Only for instantaneous continuous rate case, but was not shown in their papers
