Power Allocation Based on Truncated Squared Norm of Channel Equalization Coefficients for TDD LTE-A Uplink Systems

摘要

The power allocation problem is addressed for time division duplex (TDD) LTE-A uplink systems in this paper. Due to the IDFT de-spreading in LTE-A uplink, the channel frequency responses in an IDFT de-spreading block will be tangled together. After analyzing the equivalent signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) in the time domain, a Truncated Squared norm of channel equalization Coefficients based Power Allocation (TSCPA) method is proposed to improve the final SINR performance after the IDFT de-spreading block. The proposed TSC-PA algorithm is verified for the clustered DFT-s-OFDM system in eigen-model block diagonalization multi-user MIMO uplink environment by simulations. The results demonstrate that the proposed TSC-PA algorithm can further improve the system block error rate (BLER) performance by selecting a proper truncation threshold.
