To investigate the trade-off between energy efciency (EE) and spectral efciency (SE) for Gaussian multiple access channels (MACs), a
novel concept of the EE region is developed. The EE region for the
time division multiple access system is also derived and compared.
The SEEE trade-off order is introduced to explicitly describe how
fast the EE decays with SE in the high SE region. For a symmetric
MAC, a constraint on SEEE trade-off orders is derived and the
Pareto optimum can be achieved by the corner points on the EE region.

In (5), through some simple analysis, it is easy to see that e1 decreases
with 1, which is the same as the single user case. Moreover, e1 is also a
non-increasing function of either e2 or 2. To illustrate these results, the
derivation

With simple mathematical analysis, it can be proved that both derivations are negative within their domains. This indicates that the EE
of one user will decrease if the other user wants to increase its EE or
SE. The same result for the SE of user 1, i.e. 1, can be revealed in a
similar way. Therefore, the SEEE trade-off of one user depends on
the other users SE and EE. Fig. 1 gives an illustration of the SEEE
trade-off for the two-user MAC.

Then, we can easily calculate the trade-off order of the ith user as d = i.
According to the Lemma, the corner points on the EE region are exactly
the Pareto optimal points.
Another special point on the EE region is the symmetric EE point,
where the EEs of all users are equal, i.e. ei = e, i. In this case, we have

SEEE trade-off order: It is well known that the EE decays with the SE.
However, the speed of the decay is another important problem which
requires further investigation. We develop the concept of the SEEE
trade-off order to characterise the decay rate of the EE with increasing
SE, which is dened as
d = lim

Conclusion: In this Letter, the novel concept of the EE region is developed for the Gaussian MAC to characterise the EE trade-off among
users. The EE region presents an alternative interpretation of the
capacity region. Based on the EE region, the SEEE trade-off for
each user in the two-user MAC is derived. It is seen that the EE of
one user decreases with the SE or EE of the other user. The EE
region for TDMA is also derived and compared. Then, another novel
concept of the SEEE trade-off order is introduced to characterise the
decay rate of EE. For the symmetric MAC, a constraint on SEEE
trade-off orders is given. Some special points on the EE region are
also studied and it is proved that the corner points can achieve the
Pareto optimum.
For Gaussian AWGN with the SEEE relationship shown in (2), the
trade-off order d = 1. However, for multiuser channels, it is hard to calculate the trade-off order since EEs depend on the SEs of different users.
However, we can look into the symmetric case, in which the SE of each
user is identical, i.e. i = , i.
