CSI feedback reduction for energy-efficient downlink OFDMA

The explosively increasing demand of high-data-rate multimedia wireless services and ubiquitous access has triggered rapidly booming energy consumption at the wireless network operator side. Therefore, energy-efficient design is becoming a mainstream for future wireless networks. In this paper, we study energy-efficient resource allocation in downlink OFDMA networks with partial channel state information at the transmitter (CSIT). To reduce the channel state information (CSI) feedback overhead while maintaining relatively high achievable energy efficiency (EE), we propose a novel CSI feedback scheme, which leads to higher EE with lower feedback overhead compared with the conventional selective feedback (SF) and bit-map based feedback (BF) schemes. Simulation results show that the energy-efficient design greatly improves EE compared with that of the conventional spectral-efficient design and our CSI feedback scheme outperforms the conventional CSI feedback schemes in EE and spectral efficiency (SE) with almost the same feedback overhead.
