Abstract |
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) dual-hop systems can take full advantages of the techniques of both multi-hop communication and OFDM. To achievethis end, we propose a joint subcarrier matching, power allocation and bit loading algorithm operating under a total power constraint and the same Bit Error Rate(BER) threshold over all subcarriers. Simulation results demonstrated system throughput improvement compared to single-hop systems and dual-hop systems with different bit loading algorithms for each relay position, power constraint, and required BER. |
