Abstract
Power allocation methods for multiuser orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) are described. Arbitrary partitioning of the OFDM tones among users and arbitrary modulation formats, possibly different for every user, are considered. Two systems of receivers and transmitters and corresponding methods address power allocation, respectively for slow fading channels tracked instantaneously by the system and for fast fading channels known only statistically thereby.
