A method, with an information processing system, for reshaping power profiles in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) symbols, the method comprising: monitoring a scheduler at a base station for a modulation and coding scheme selection; determining that the scheduler selected a modulation and coding scheme for an OFDMA symbol; allocating power to a plurality of information elements within the OFDMA symbol based on the selected modulation and coding scheme, wherein the selected modulation and coding scheme is assigned to all of the plurality of information elements; identifying at least one connection specific information element of the plurality of information elements within the OFDMA symbol; determining, in response to the identifying, a channel connection associated with the at least one connection specific information element; determining a channel condition associated with the channel connections; reshaping, in response to the channel condition being at least one of equal to and greater than a channel condition threshold, a power profile associated with the at least one connection specific information element in a variable portion of a map, wherein the reshaping decreases power made available to the channel connection; reshaping, in response to the channel condition being less than the channel condition threshold, the power profile associated with the at least one connection specific information element in the variable portion of the map, wherein the reshaping increases power made available to the channel connection; one or more of not reshaping or reshaping differently from the at least one connection specific information element a power profile associated with another information element of the plurality of information elements, wherein the another information element is in a fixed portion of the map and comprises overhead information that applies to all connections; and wherein the selected modulation and coding scheme is not changed. monitoring a scheduler at a base station for a modulation and coding scheme selection; determining that the scheduler selected a modulation and coding scheme for an OFDMA symbol; allocating power to a plurality of information elements within the OFDMA symbol based on the selected modulation and coding scheme, wherein the selected modulation and coding scheme is assigned to all of the plurality of information elements; identifying at least one connection specific information element of the plurality of information elements within the OFDMA symbol; determining, in response to the identifying, a channel connection associated with the at least one connection specific information element; determining a channel condition associated with the channel connections; reshaping, in response to the channel condition being at least one of equal to and greater than a channel condition threshold, a power profile associated with the at least one connection specific information element in a variable portion of a map, wherein the reshaping decreases power made available to the channel connection; reshaping, in response to the channel condition being less than the channel condition threshold, the power profile associated with the at least one connection specific information element in the variable portion of the map, wherein the reshaping increases power made available to the channel connection; one or more of not reshaping or reshaping differently from the at least one connection specific information element a power profile associated with another information element of the plurality of information elements, wherein the another information element is in a fixed portion of the map and comprises overhead information that applies to all connections; and wherein the selected modulation and coding scheme is not changed.
