A new cross-layer proportional fair scheduling algorithm suited for delay tolerant traffic in both saturated and non-saturated regimes is presented. Unlike the classical proportional fair scheduling algorithm where the instantaneous rate is normalized by the past average throughput, in the proposed algorithm the normalization is done with respect to the past maximal values. And unlike cumulative distribution...
In view of the new feature after introducing the relay nodes (RNs) into the conventional cellular networks, a novel soft frequency reuse (SFR)-based inter-cell interference coordination (ICIC) scheme is proposed in the relay enhanced cellular networks. On the basis of original ICIC scheme for conventional cellular network, RNs in the proposed SFR scheme reuses part of neighboring cell-edge bands to...
In new generation cellular networks, opportunistic schedulers take advantage from the delay-tolerance of data applications to ensure that transmission occurs when radio channel conditions are most favourable. “Proportional Fair” (PF) is a well-known opportunistic scheduler that provides a good compromise between fairness and efficiency when transmitting long flows. Unfortunately, the PF algorithm...
This paper considers the use of predefined frequency-domain power profiles in downlink LTE-A aiming at making interference predictable across the Physical Resource Blocks, to be combined with fair resource allocation. In particular, the power profile structure is defined depending on the position of the users and fairness-oriented scheduling strategies are considered. Evaluations of the throughput...
The Physical Downlink Control Channel (PDCCH) is used to signal dynamic resource assignment information in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. In the presence of numerous active users, the system performance is likely to be hindered by shortage of control channel resource. In this paper, several simple algorithms are brought forward for making efficient PDCCH resource allocation. We first propose...
In current cellular networks base stations (BSs) usually perform independent scheduling without coordinating the resource allocation among different cells. This, however, often leads to high interference levels in cellular networks operating with universal frequency reuse, such as the 3GPP UTRAN Long Term Evolution (LTE). Coordinated scheduling between different BSs may mitigate this problem by taking...
In this paper, a joint channel-and-queue-aware relay selection and resource allocation scheme at the scheduling phase in an OFDMA downlink cellular network is proposed. The scheme can choose the best relay to cooperate and allocate subchannels and power for the source and the relay for the selected packet which can maximize the proposed utility function waiting in the base station. Under the premise...
In this paper, we propose an interference aware throughput maximizing scheduler for cognitive radio networks (CRNs) as part of a MAC layer resource allocation framework. In the considered CRN scenario, the cognitive users with multiple antennas are coordinated by a centralized cognitive base station. We evaluate the performance of our proposed scheme using analysis of variation (ANOVA) technique....
In this paper, a new joint scheduling and hybrid resource allocation method is derived and investigated for a multi-user downlink Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system that provides Time Delay-Sensitive services (TDS) and Time Delay-Insensitive services (TDI). A three sectored multi-cellular heterogeneous traffic environment is considered where users are randomly distributed...
In the multi-cell environment, the approaches that are suitable for the single cell scenario may cause excessive interference to other cells and become suboptimal. In this paper, we present a number of receiver-centric power allocation schemes that take into account the detrimental impact of allocated resources to the neighboring cells, and use it as a guideline in determining the appropriate power...
Despite all the encouraging reports on the benefit of Partially Overlapped Channels (POCs), the relative simple interference models and rather arbitrary network settings considered in the literature make those reports questionable. In order to gain proper engineering insights, we look into the problem of improving network throughput by making use of POCs in this paper. Our perspectives are novel in...
MIMO downlink with base station coordination in a cellular network is considered. In centralized coordinated transmission from a cluster of base stations, the channel state information (CSI) of users needs to be sent to a central processor for user scheduling and resource allocation. Real time CSI feedback from the users to their home base station and from the base stations to the central processor...
This paper proposes suboptimal precoding vector (PV) selection schemes combined with frequency domain scheduling when closed-loop MIMO precoding is adopted in the LTE (Long-Term Evolution)-Advanced uplink based on single carrier-frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) radio access. In the proposed schemes, frequency domain channel-dependent scheduling is performed based on a tentatively selected...
In this work we consider the allocation of buffer space to data streams sharing a common high-speed wireless transmitter. As an example, we focus on an OFDMA-based downlink system scenario. Scheduling for maximum throughput has been extensively studied in the literature. However, the practically interesting case of a finite buffer has not been sufficiently addressed before. Especially in the case...
A real time distributed computing system has heterogeneously connected computers to solve a single problem. If the transactions run across different sites, it may commit at one site and may get fail at other site, leading to an inconsistent transaction. The transaction in a real time database system has deadlines to process the workloads and it need to process transactions before these deadlines expired...
In this paper we focus on minimizing the long-term average power consumption of a single transmitter providing Quality of Service (QoS) enabled traffic to a single receiver. Both the transmitting and receiving stations are equipped with multiple antennas. First, we present a general {Kx M} system model where K is the number of independently buffered QoS streams and M is the number of parallel channels...
Providing guaranteed quality-of-service (QoS) for resource-hungry multimedia applications over wireless fading channels is challenging. Traditional layered architecture fails miserably in providing the QoS requirement of high throughput, low latency demand of these kinds of applications in wireless mobile networks. Cross-layer design approaches are critical for efficient utilization of the scarce...
High concentration of users in a cell of a wireless LAN leads to an unsustainable traffic load at the access point (AP). An unsuitable solution to the problem will cause poor connectivity for users, severe performance degradation, and possible collapse of the wireless LAN. In this paper, we present a scheduler based on queue length at the AP and a congestion control scheme based on the channel utilization...
The scheduling and execution for grid application is an important problem in the grid environment. To get the high reliability and efficiency, we propose a runtime reputation based grid resource selection algorithm. According to the accumulated raw score, the runtime reputation degree for a grid resource is quantified as an evaluating score in the runtime of an application. Instead of being dependent...
Because of the dynamic nature and an instability of grid computing environment, system behavior in terms of QoS depends crucially on the selection of appropriate subset of the available resources. Thus, a well-defined system model that provides high system availability using a scheduling mechanism is required. In this paper, we propose the SLA based Policy Administrator (SPA) with QoS constraints...
