Abstract
Power loading algorithms improve the data rates of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. However, they require the transmitter to have perfect channel state information, which is impossible in most wireless systems. We investigate the effects of imperfect (and thus partial) channel feedback on the throughput of OFDM systems. Two channel uncertainty models are studied: 1) the ergodic model, where average rate is the figure of merit and 2) the quasi-static model, where outage rate is relevant. Rate-power allocation algorithms are developed. The throughput achieved by these algorithms and the effects of channel multipath are investigated analytically and with simulations.
