Abstract

The focus of this paper is a proposal for a computationally efficient dynamic subcarrier allocation (DSA) algorithm for orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) systems. The proposed DSA algorithm considerably reduces the computational complexity and the amount of channel quality information (CQI) compared to amplitude craving greedy (ACG) algorithms, which use full CQI. At the same time, the performance of the proposed algorithm closely appear to ACG algorithms. Moreover, the authors present a new bandwidth-assignment algorithm produced by modifying bandwidth assignment based on the signal-to-noise ratio (BABS). This modified BABS algorithm enables the proposed DSA algorithm to produce a strong outage performance gain over the conventional scheme.

본 논문은 직교주파수 분할 다중접속 시스템 (Orthogonal Frequency-division Multiple Access: OFDMA)에서 계산 효율적인 동적 부반송파 할당 (Dynamic subcarrier allocation :DSA) 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 DSA 기법은 계산량을 크게 줄일 수 있을 뿐 아니라 전체 Channel quality information (CQI)를 전송하는 Amplitude Craving Greedy (ACG) 기법에 비해 CQI 정보량도 줄일 수 있다. 하지만 제안된 기법의 성능은 ACG 기법과 거의 유사하게 나타난다. 또한, 신호 대 잡음비에 기반한 대역폭 할당기법 (Bandwidth assignment based on the signal-to-noise ratio: BABS) 개선한 대역폭 할당기법을 제안하였다. 개선된 BABS 기법은 제안된 DSA 기법과 결합되어 기존 기법에 비해 더욱 높은 아웃티지 성능 이득을 나타낸다.
