Uplink ergodic sum-rate maximization in OFDMA systems is considered. The general problem is formulated as a convex optimization problem and a dual solution is presented. The problem formulation is generalized to the case of utility maximization where the utility can be any function of rate. A suboptimal scheduling algorithm with low complexity is proposed and shown to achieve close performance to the optimal solution.
