Taking advantage of multi-user diversity in OFDM systems

A multi-user diversity approach, called Opportunistic Interference Management (OIM), is considered in connection with Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems. The OIM is applied to each consecutive group of OFDM sub-channels that are highly correlated. We use the OIM to transmit information in Qg consecutive sub-channels to d users in parallel. The expected parallel transmissions per group of sub-channels is then computed. The results show that the maximum expected parallel transmissions is achieved almost surely when enough mobile users exist.
