This document proposes an iterative subcarrier allocation algorithm for OFDMA systems that aims to improve system performance and provide quality of service (QoS). It discusses:
1) The motivation for adaptive subcarrier allocation in OFDMA to improve transmission rates by assigning more bits to subcarriers with higher gains.
2) An iterative algorithm that assigns bits based on modulation levels and iteratively redistributes bits and exchanges subcarriers to reduce transmit power while meeting QoS requirements.
3) Simulation results showing the iterative algorithm achieves higher average bit SNR over time compared to existing algorithms and improves performance as RMS delay spread and number of users increases.

16. Problems in Current Suboptimal
Algorithms
? Subcarrier assignment and bit loading are
separated
?Users with bad channels may need higher
number of subcarriers
? Not iterative subcarrier assignment
17. Iterative Algorithm
Iterative algorithm based on
? Assignment of bits according to highest
modulation
? Finding the best places
? Distributing the assigned bits to other
subcarriers or to non-assigned subcarriers
? Exchanging the subcarriers among user
pairs for power reduction.
20. Simulation Environment
Build the OFDMA system
? Modulations:4-QAM,16-QAM,64-QAM
? Independent Rayleigh fading channel
to each user
? Number of subcarriers =128
? Nodes are perfectly synchronized

23. Average bit SNR vs. RMS delay
spread
As RMS delay spread increases, the fading variation increases
hence higher gains are obtained by adaptive allocation
24. Average bit SNR vs. number of
users
As the number of users increases, the probability of obtaining
good channel at a subcarrier increases

#7: Instead of assigning a fixed frequency or time slot to each user, the performance will increase. The users will not use the subcarriers that are in deep fade. The performance will increase since it is quite unlikely that this subcarriers will be in deep fade for all the other users.
