Chunk-Based Energy Efficient Resource Allocation in OFDMA Systems

Energy efficiency (EE) capacity analysis of the chunk-based resource allocation is presented by considering the minimum spectrum efficiency (SE) constraint in downlink multiuser orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. Considering the minimum SE requirement, an optimization problem to maximize EE with limited transmit power is formulated over frequency selective channels. Based on this model, a low-complexity energy efficient resource allocation is proposed. The effects of system parameters, such as the average channel gain-to-noise ratio (CNR) and the number of subcarriers per chunk, are evaluated. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme for balancing the EE and SE.
