Abstract:

In this article, a multiuser single carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) system is considered, based on which an adaptive subcarrier and bit allocation algorithm is investigated. The algorithm has been used to achieve a subcarrier mapping mode in this system, which combines the advantages of single- and multi-carrier transmissions, such as, low peak to average power ratio, orthogonality of signals of different users, and low complexity. Simulation results show that it has a similar performance as that of the adaptive allocation algorithm in the orthogonal frequency division multiple (OFDM) system and the proposed mapping mode has a performance gain over the two existing mapping modes at the link level.
