This letter extends the proportional fair (PF) scheduling proposed in the high data rate (HDR) system to multicarrier transmission systems. It is known that the PF allocation (F. P. Kelly et al. (1998)) results in the maximization of the sum of logarithmic average user rates. We propose a PF scheduling that assigns users to each carrier while maximizing the sum of logarithmic average user rates.
