TL;DR: A method is proposed that operates on the boundary of the achievable multiuser rate region while guaranteeing a desired long term average fairness, based on a sum utility maximization of the alpha-fair utility functions.
Abstract: We address the problem of downlink multiuser scheduling in practical wireless networks under a desired fairness constraint. Wireless networks such as LTE, WiMAX and WiFi provide partial channel knowledge at the base station/access point by means of quantized user equipment feedback. Specifically in 3GPP's LTE, the Channel Quality Indicator (CQI) feedback provides time-frequency selective information on achievable rates. This knowledge enables the scheduler to achieve multiuser diversity gains by assigning resources to users with favourable channel conditions. However, only focusing on the possible diversity gains leads to unfair treatment of the individual users. To overcome this situation we propose a method for multiuser scheduling that operates on the boundary of the achievable multiuser rate region while guaranteeing a desired long term average fairness. Our method is based on a sum utility maximization of the alpha-fair utility functions. To obtain a given fairness, quantified with Jain's fairness index, it is necessary to find an appropriate α, which we obtain from the observed CQI probability mass function (pmf).

TL;DR: The new algorithm is applied to solve the problem of frequency reuse in mobile cellular communication systems, where the main aim is to obtain a conflict-free channel assignment among the cells such that the resulting bandwidth is close to the minimum channel span required for the whole network.

TL;DR: Implementation guidelines of a wireless network architecture that exploits user profiles to maximize network efficiency and provide better quality-of-service (QoS) to different classes of users for the third-generation partnership project (3GPP) network are provided.
Abstract: In the next-generation wireless network, user profiles such as the location, the velocity (both speed and direction), and the resource requirements of the mobile device can be accurately determined and maintained by the network on a per-user basis. We investigate the design of a wireless network architecture that exploits user profiles to maximize network efficiency and provide better quality-of-service (QoS) to different classes of users. In this article we provide implementation guidelines of such an architecture for the third-generation partnership project (3GPP) network. The key underlying primitive of the architecture is the use of both real-time and aggregate user profiles to perform advance resource reservation in the handoff target cells of the wireless cellular network. We identify various factors that can influence the efficiency of the resource reservation scheme, and through a simulation analysis of an example scenario we show the impact of these factors on the QoS that profiled users receive. The example scenario comprises two service classes: a high cost, profiled service with higher QoS; and a lower cost, non-profiled service with best-effort QoS. The results show that high QoS can be guaranteed to users who subscribe to the profiled service.

TL;DR: An overview of the major state-of-the-art approaches to adaptive resource allocation in the OFDMA systems is provided and several open research issues are outlined.
Abstract: Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) has emerged as a promising transmission technology for next generation wireless systems. In a multiuser scenario, adaptive radio resource allocation can significantly improve the performance of OFDMA systems. In this article, an overview of the major state-of-the-art approaches to adaptive resource allocation in the OFDMA systems is provided. Several open research issues are outlined.
