Wang et al. proposed cross layer resource allocation according to the channel state information of the physical layer and the video rate distortion of the application layer for uplink orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) video transmission systems. Its object function is minimizing sum of all users' video distortion. It shows significant improvement in average peak-signal-to-noise-ratio (PSNR) over the schemes which consider either the physical layer or application layer. However, minimizing sum of all users' video distortion does not necessarily maximize average of all users' PSNR. In this paper, we change the objective function for optimization to maximize average PSNR, and derive new optimal condition for cross layer subcarrier assignment for infinitesimal bandwidth increment. Furthermore, we extend to a multi-user multiple-input and multiple-output (MU-MIMO) uplink transmission system to …
