18 Nov 2008TL;DR: Comparing with traditional scheduling algorithms such as RR, PO and PF, the simulation results show that the proposed mechanism can achieve higher system throughput and less packet loss.
Abstract: This paper proposes a channel-adapted and buffer-aware scheduling algorithm in LTE wireless communication system. The scheme allocates system resource jointly PHY-MAC layer according to CQI feed back with the uplink, considers UE buffer status to avoid buffer overflow, and guarantees certain fairness among users. Comparing with traditional scheduling algorithms such as RR, PO and PF, the simulation results show that the proposed mechanism can achieve higher system throughput and less packet loss.

TL;DR: This paper presents a distributed dynamic channel allocation scheme for cellular networks that is fault-tolerant and can tolerate the failure of mobile service stations, link failure, and network congestion, and make efficient reuse of channels.
Abstract: In cellular networks, it is vital to allocate communication channels efficiently because the bandwidth allocated for cellular communication is limited. If channels are statically allocated, as is the case in current cellular networks, a cell may run out of channels when a large number of mobile hosts move to the cell. To overcome this problem, dynamic channel allocation approaches have been proposed. Under dynamic channel allocation, channels are allocated to cells on demand, thus increasing channel utilization. Such channel allocation approaches fall under two categories, namely, centralized and distributed. Centralized approaches are neither scalable nor reliable, while distributed approaches have the potential to be both reliable and scalable. In the distributed approaches, a mobile service station is responsible for allocating channels to mobile hosts in the same cell. In cellular networks, mobile service stations may fail. In addition, the network may encounter intermittent network congestion and/or link failures. It is desirable for a channel allocation algorithm to work well, even in the presence of network congestion, link failures, and/or mobile service station failures. In this paper, we present a distributed dynamic channel allocation scheme for cellular networks that is fault-tolerant. Our approach can tolerate the failure of mobile service stations, link failure, and network congestion, and make efficient reuse of channels. We also provide results of the performance evaluation of our algorithm.

TL;DR: A cellular learning automata based self-organizing channel assignment algorithm is introduced and the simulation results show that the micro-cellular network canSelf-organize by using simpleChannel assignment algorithm as the network operates.
Abstract: Introduction of micro-cellular networks offer a potential increase in capacity of cellular networks, but they create problems in management of the cellular networks. A solution to these problems is self-organizing channel assignment algorithm with distributed control. In this paper, we first introduce the model of cellular learning automata in which learning automata are used to adjust the state transition probabilities of cellular automata. Then a cellular learning automata based self-organizing channel assignment algorithm is introduced. The simulation results show that the micro-cellular network can self-organize by using simple channel assignment algorithm as the network operates.

TL;DR: A framework is proposed for combining statistical channel information with a class of instantaneous channel norms and it is shown that the feedback of such a scalar norm provides sufficient information for the proposed resource-allocation algorithms to perform efficient SDMA beamforming (BF) and scheduling.
Abstract: To achieve high performance, in terms of reliability and throughput, in future multiple-antenna communication systems, it is essential to fully exploit the spatial dimensions of the wireless propagation channel. In multiuser communication systems, the throughput can be significantly increased by simultaneously transmitting to several users in the same time-frequency slot by means of spatial-division multi-access (SDMA). A major limiting factor for downlink SDMA transmission is the amount of channel-state information (CSI) that is available at the transmitter. In most cases, CSI can be measured/estimated only at the user terminals and must be fed back to the base station. This procedure typically constrains the amount of CSI that can be conveyed to the base station. Herein, we develop several low-complexity, as well as optimized, SDMA downlink resource-allocation schemes that are particularly suitable for systems utilizing statistical channel information and partial CSI feedback. A framework is proposed for combining statistical channel information with a class of instantaneous channel norms. It is shown that, in wide-area scenarios, the feedback of such a scalar norm provides sufficient information for the proposed resource-allocation algorithms to perform efficient SDMA beamforming (BF) and scheduling.

TL;DR: A dynamic frequency and power allocation algorithm for the DownLink of OFDMA-based cellular networks, where frequency resources are allocated to cells by a central broker to minimize long-term cell-edge inter-cell interference is proposed.
Abstract: In order to mitigate inter-cell interference and cope with network, traffic, and channel fluctuations in space and time, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) based cellular networks should be equipped with dynamic frequency and power allocation algorithms. Although dynamic frequency and power allocation has been well studied separately, very few results have been reported on dynamic joint frequency and power allocation. In this paper, we propose a dynamic frequency and power allocation algorithm for the DownLink (DL) of OFDMA-based cellular networks, where frequency resources are allocated to cells by a central broker to minimize long-term cell-edge inter-cell interference. Moreover, each cell independently assigns its available frequency resources and power to users in a way that its total DL transmission power is minimized while meeting the throughput demands of its users. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm provides significant improvements in network outage performance, capacity, and throughput as compared with existing schemes.
