Abstract:
The widespread application of multimedia wireless services and requirement of ubiquitous access have triggered rapidly booming energy consumption at both the base station side. Hence, energy-efficient design in wireless networks is very important and is becoming an inevitable trend. In this paper, we study energy-efficient resource allocation in downlink cellular OFDMA networks. For the downlink transmission, the weighted energy efficiency (EE) is maximized under certain prescribed per-user quality- of-service (QoS) requirements. We first obtain the optimal solution then propose a suboptimal approach by exploring the inherent structure and property of the energy-efficient design to reduce complexity. Simulation results show that the energy-efficient design greatly improves EE compared with that of the conventional spectral-efficient design and our low- complexity suboptimal approaches can achieve promising tradeoff between performance and complexity.
