Rate maximization problem in OFDM systems with peak-power constraints

In this section, we consider the rate maximization problem under total and peakpower constraints in OFDM systems. Then, based on analytic results, we propose a new algorithm that can achieve the global optimum solution with a reduced complexity as compared to other algorithms in the literature. To this end, we exploit the bit vector obtained by rounding the water-lling algorithm solution to the associated continuous-input rate maximization problem as an ecient initial bit vector of the Greedy algorithm. We theoretically prove that this bit vector has two interesting properties. The rst one states that it is an ecient bit vector, i.e., there is no movement of a bit from one subcarrier to another that reduces the total used power. The second one states that the optimized throughput, starting from this initial bit vector, is achieved by adding or removing bits on each subcarrier at most once.

Hybrid approach between the Z-GBA and M-GBR algorithms

In Section 3.2.1, we have reminded that the complexity of the Z-GBA algorithm and of the M-GBR algorithm are a non-decreasing function and a non-increasing function of the total allowable power, respectively. Thus, in the region of high values of Ptot, the M-GBR algorithm should be used instead of the Z-GBA algorithm and vice versa. In this section, we propose a simple threshold to switch between the two algorithms. In fact, the complexity of both algorithms is dominated by a product of the number of iterations to obtain the optimum bit and power allocation vectors (bop and Pop) and the complexity per iteration. Moreover, the complexity per iteration of both algorithms is almost the same, i.e., we nd the subcarrier that requires minimum power to add one bit or nd the subcarrier for which the power gain when removing one bit is maximal and then adjust the number of bits on this subcarrier. Let us denote by `BA and `BR the number of iterations to obtain bop in the Z-GBA and the M-GBR algorithms and L denotes the number of used subcarriers. They are dominated by `BAL and `BRL. Note that in these algorithms, only one bit is added or removed at each iteration. Then we have `BA = kbopk1, `BR = kbr maxk1 􀀀 kbopk1, where kk1 denotes the l1 vector norm. Let us dene PBR and PBA by PBR = kPr maxk1 􀀀 kPopk1.

Power consumption minimization in OFDM systems with peak-power constraint

In this section, we x the throughput and the goal is the power consumption reduction. We thus search for the best bit/power allocation that minimizes the total power under a xed throughput and spectral mask constraints. We assume an interferencefree OFDM system. We propose to apply the WFR-GBL algorithm in section 3.2 and we compare it to other algorithms of the state-of-art.
