In this paper, a cross-layer adaptive resource allocation (XARA) algorithm for channel division based systems, such as OFDMA, is proposed. XARA design is based on a PHY-MAC cross-layer approach which yields better channel utilization compared to separate PHY or MAC designs. XARA uses a joint power and channel allocation algorithm to determine both the channel assignment and the transmission power...
