Abstract

In this paper, we propose novel algorithms for optimal power allocation towards video transmission in orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) and multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)-based 4G networks. A unique feature of the schemes is that they employ diversity dependent subcarrier power distribution relying on a discrete wavelet transform (DWT)-based hierarchical video decomposition, with exclusively order statistics-based partial channel state information (CSI). This is formulated as a convex minimisation problem and closed form expressions are derived for diversity-based optimal power allocation. We also propose novel algorithms for diversity order-based optimal power allocation for video transmission in MIMO systems. Further, we consider a practical MIMO scenario and employ a limited feedback technique utilising the index of the quantised beamforming vector. A closed form expression for the optimal power allocation is presented based on an iterative convex optimisation framework. Simulation results demonstrate superior performance of the proposed optimal power allocation schemes.
