Summary: 
This study investigates subcarrier and power allocation schemes in an OFDMA downlink system. To consider client demands, a goal programming approach is proposed. The proposed algorithm minimizes the weighted sum of each client's dissatisfaction index. Simulations show that the sum of dissatisfaction indices can be reduced significantly.
