Abstract:

To improve the total throughput of the uplink orthogonal frequency division multiple access system, a low complexity hybrid power distribution (HPD) combined with subcarrier allocation scheme is proposed. For the fairness mechanism for the subcarrier, the inter-cell interference is first analyzed to calculate the capacity of the multi-cell. The user selects the subcarrier with the largest channel gain. Based on the above subcarrier allocation scheme, a new kind of HPD scheme is proposed, which adopts the waterfilling-power-distributed scheme and the equal-power-distributed scheme in the cell-boundary and the cellcenter, respectively. Simulation results show that compared with the waterfilling-power-distributed scheme in the whole cell, the proposed HPD scheme decreases the system complexity significantly, meanwhile its capacity is 2% higher than that of the equal-powerdistributed scheme over the same subcarrier allocation.
