• Optimum bit loading
• discrete multi-tone (DMT) modulation
• discrete optimization
• orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)

In this paper the problem of minimizing the total transmitting power subject to a fixed total bit rate in OFDM systems is considered. Upper bounds on transmitting power and bit rate of each subcarrier can also be taken into account. In practice, the number of bits of each subcarrier should be integer and nonnegative. In this paper an analytical optimal solution is derived for the case of assuming the bits to be integer. Then, the solution is extended for the case of nonnegative integer bits and the cases in which we have constraints on the maximum power and bit rate of each subcarrier. In an OFDM system with N subcarriers the complexity of computing the proposed analytical solution is 0(N) which is lower than the computational complexity of existing algorithms. In addition to the mathematical proofs, computer simulations confirm that the proposed analytical solution is optimal and faster than the existing algorithms.
