Abstract
A method and system for assigning power to sub-bands in a multiple access communications system, where users are assigned iteratively to sub-bands, and at each iteration a provisional partial power budget is determined for the subset of sub-bands comprising the sub-bands to which users have been assigned in the present time slot and the sub-band under consideration in the sequence, where the fraction of the total available power determined as the provisional partial power budget corresponds to the fraction of the number of sub-bands in the subset from the total number of sub-bands to be assigned, and the provisional power allocation for the sub-band under consideration is obtained by performing a waterfilling distribution of the provisional partial power budget amongst the subset of the sub-bands, based on the channel gain of the users already assigned to sub-bands in the present time slot.
