Energy-Efficient Binary Power Control with Bit Error Rate Constraint in MIMO-OFDM Wireless Communication Systems

Motivated by the demand for energy efficiency improvement in mobile communication industry, we explore an idea of optimizing energy efficiency for MIMO-OFDM wireless communication systems while maintaining users' quality of service (QoS) requirement. Based on the binary power control scheme,a power allocation criterion for energy efficiency optimization is derived under the total power constraint. From a bit error rate (BER) point of view, a protection constraint is configured to guarantee the system QoS. With the aim of energy efficiency optimization under QoS guarantee in MIMO-OFDM wireless communication systems, an energy-efficient binary power control with BER constraint (EBPCB) algorithm is proposed based on the power allocation criterion and QoS constraint. Simulations results demonstrate the energy efficiency improvement of EBPCB.
