Abstract

For a multi-user OFDM system in mobile channels which requires low-complexity in adaptive resource allocations, resource allocation algorithm using multi-threshold is proposed. The allocation scheme, which is performed by the multi-threshold values in descending order, considers only subcarriers over each threshold level. Moreover, some subcarriers with the lowest channel gain can be· removed in the present threshold level within the constraint of satisfaction of the required data rate, in order to allocate them to the other users when the allocation process of next threshold is executed. As a result, the proposed bandwidth and subcarrier algorithm has better system performances than the conventional allocation schemes in terms of required power and processing time, which is expected as a technique that improves the spectral efficiency of OFDM systems in a mobile environment.

적응형 자원 할당에 대해 낮은 복잡도를 요구하는 이동 채널에서의 다중 사용자 OFDM 시스템을 위해 다중 임계치를 사용하는 자원 할당 알고리듬을 제안한다. 임계치의 내림차순으로 할당을 수행하며, 각 임계치를 넘어서는 채널값을 갖는 부반송파에 대해서만 할당을 고려한다. 또한, 낮은 채널값을 갖는 부반송파들을 제거하여도 요구 데이터율을 여전히 만족시킬 수 있다면, 현재의 임계치를 이용한 할당 과정에서 해당 부반송파를 제거하여 다음 임계치에 대한 할당 과정에서 다른 사용자들을 위해 재할당되도록 한다. 제안된 대역폭 및 부반송파 할당알고리듬은 필요 전력과 할당에 소요되는 시간에 대해서 기존의 알고리듬들에 비해 매우 우수한 성능을 가지기 때문에 이동 환경에서 OFDM 시스템의 스펙트럼 효율을 높일 수 있는 기술로 예상된다.
