Performance Analysis of an OFDMA Transmission System in a Multicell Environment

The paper deals with design and performance analysis of orthogonal frequency-division multiple-access (OFDMA)-based downlink cellular wireless communications. Due to a high degree of user mobility, the base station is assumed to have only a statistical knowledge of the users' channels. Relying on the ergodic capacities connected to the user rates, a subcarrier and power allocation that minimizes the total transmitted power is proposed. The allocation strategy requires only the knowledge of the channel statistics and the rate requirements for all users. An extension and a performance analysis of this allocation algorithm in a multicell environment working with a frequency reuse factor equal to one is also conducted. A condition for the multicell network to be able to satisfy all rate requirements is derived
