Introduction • Motivation – Radio resource allocation is an very important technique to improve overall system capacity improvement. – According to IEEE 802.16 standard documents, current system does not support the function of adaptive radio resource allocation to adaptively allocate radio resources, such as power and subchannels, to multiple users or services with different QoS requirements. – The improvement of spectrum efficiency is limited by fixed channel assignment rule/algorithm – In section 6.4 “Radio resource management ” of 802.16m SRD, “IEEE 802.16m shall enable the advanced RRM for efficient utilization of radio resources. This may be achieved by appropriate measurement/reporting, interference management and flexible resource allocation mechanisms.” • Purpose – This contribution is to present efficient algorithms of adaptive radio resource allocation and show that low complexity algorithms can be obtained without large performance degradation. – According to IEEE 802.16 standard documents, current system does not support the function of adaptive radio resource allocation to adaptively allocate radio resources, such as power and subchannels, to multiple users or services with different QoS requirements. 2 Multi-user OFDM system block diagram 3 Average performance loss (with respect to the optimum solution) of DPRA algorithm. 4 Proposed Texts in the Table of Content (ToC) x.y Adaptive radio resource allocation [In order to support this functionality, it is required to provide minimum data rate of each user or service from upper layers for adaptive radio resource allocation. The information can be assigned in MAC layer. With this information, the designed algorithm calculates optimum or suboptimum solution to efficiently allocate radio resources, such as power and subchannels, to users or services based on current wireless channel status. Since it was shown that low complexity algorithms are obtainable without much performance loss, the inclusion of this functionality will not contribute much complexity in the transceiver design.] 5
