摘要: This paper considers the issue of optimal subcarrier allocation in OFDMA. We show, via a counter example, that water-filling based policies, contrary to conventiona l wisdom, fail provide rate-stability for an otherwise stabilizable OFDMA system. Water-filling is too myopic when conside ring long-time average performance, e.g. delay, queue lengths, and even long-run throughput. because such policies ignore variable state (queue length) information, while, fact, information necessary gua rantee rate stability and/or minimize delay. In this paper, we identify non-idling policy which balances channel follows ON/OFF model. case, show achieves minimum holding cost (mean response time) at any time.
