This paper first formulates the optimal instantaneous resource allocation, including path selection, power allocation and subchannel scheduling with proportional fairness in MIMO, OFDMA and relay-enhanced network. The joint optimization problem is a NP-hard one with non-linear constraints. To simplify this problem, we first propose a water-filling method named ‘CP-AP w PF’ to adaptively allocate power only among transmitting antennas. Then, a modified iterative water-filling algorithm named ‘AP-AP w PF’ is proposed to achieve adaptive power allocation on each subchannel by using the Jensen's inequality. Simulation shows that ‘AP-AP w PF’ algorithm improves the throughput for cell-edge users, and achieve a tradeoff between maximizing system throughput and assuring individual QoS.
