A threshold setting scheme is proposed based on the resource management and limited feedback theory in multiuser orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) systems. In adaptive resource allocation, the factors denoting the quality of service (QoS) and fairness are both considered as the user weight. From the aspect of feedback outage probability, the proposed algorithm sets the threshold for each user related to its weight, which brings enough feedback to the user with greater weight. Analysis and simulation results show that, compared with the threshold ignoring weights, the proposed scheme has much lower feedback load while with better QoS.

By deducing the distribution of the normalized channel covariance matrix,a novel limited feedback scheme is proposed under multiple users(MU) multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) broadcast channel(BC) system.The proposed scheme has advantages in three aspects.First,it has no constraints on the number of users or antennas.Second,each user's feedback bits are independent of the number of receiving antennas.Third,the proposed scheme avoids the storage of large-size codebook on the transceivers.Simulation results show that the performance of the proposed scheme is close to the perfect channel state information(CSI) case and it just needs a small number of feedback bits.
