If the system still has a surplus of subcarriers after resource allocation, we carry out Band- width Exchange (BE) to enable more subcar- riers to participate in transmission to save en- ergy.

Simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm consumes less energy when transmitting the same number of bits than greedy energy saving schemes, although its spectrum efficiency is worse.展开更多
