| Abstract: | The problem of the simultaneous multi-user resource allocation algorithm in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) based systems has recently attracted significant interest. However, most studies focus on maximizing the system throughput and spectral efficiency. As the green radio is essential in 5G and future networks, the energy efficiency becomes the major concern. In this paper, we develop four resource allocation schemes in the downlink OFDMA network and the main focus is on analyzing the energy efficiency of these schemes. Specifically, we employ the advanced multi-antenna technology in a multiple input-multiple output (MIMO) system. The first scheme is based on transmit spatial diversity (TSD), in which the vector channel with the highest gain between the base station (BTS) and specific antenna at the remote terminal (RT) is chosen for transmission. The second scheme further employs spatial multiplexing on the MIMO system to enhance the throughput. The space-division multiple-access (SDMA) scheme assigns single subcarrier simultaneously to RTs with pairwise “nearly orthogonal” spatial signatures. In the fourth scheme, we propose to design the transmit beamformers based on the zero-forcing (ZF) criterion such that the multi-user interference (MUI) is completely removed. We analyze the tradeoff between the throughput and power consumption and compare the performance of these schemes in terms of the energy efficiency. |
