Abstract :
Conventional design of wireless networks mainly focuses on system capacity and spectral efficiency (SE). As green radio (GR) becomes an inevitable trend, energy-efficient design in wireless networks is becoming more and more important. In this paper, the fundamental tradeoff relation between energy efficiency (EE) and SE in downlink orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) networks is addressed. We obtain a tight upper bound and lower bound on the optimal EE-SE tradeoff relation for general scenarios based on Lagrange dual decomposition, which accurately reflects the optimal EE-SE tradeoff relation. We then focus on a special case that priority and fairness are considered and derive an alternative upper bound, which is even proved to be achievable for flat fading channels. We also develop a low-complexity but near-optimal resource allocation algorithm for practical application of EE-SE tradeoff. Numerical results demonstrate that the optimal EE-SE tradeoff relation is a bell shape curve and can be well approached with our resource allocation algorithm.
