Abstract:

The application of adaptive technique to OFDM (Orthogond Freguency Division Muhiplexing)systems can effectively improve the system performance.In this paper,an adaptive bit-loading algorithm to minimize the transmission power is investigated for the case of fixed data rate and restricted subcarrier bit rate.During the inves-tigation,the optimization of infinitesimal inform ation granularity is first solved to determine the low bound of the minimal power,and then the optimization of integer bit(finite information granularity)is solved,resulting in a fast integer bit-loading algorithm.Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm is an optimal bit—loading algo-rithm with high operating speed.
