Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the method for reducing the amount of feedback in multi-user downlink orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) systems. The objective is to maximize the total throughput of the system under the constraints of transmit power. In previous methods, each user in a cell transmits channel quality information (CQI) of its all sub-bands to the base station, which requires extremely high feedback overhead. Thus, we propose an efficient sub-band allocation algorithm in which each user transmits partial CQI and one additional information to reduce the amount of feedback. Simulation results show that we can greatly reduce the amount of feedback than full feedback system.
