In this paper, we propose, a new scheduling algorithm for LTE-A uplink systems entitled Multi-user Resource Allocation Process (MURAP). The latter supports uplink multi-user transmissions. Indeed, the main contribution of this work is to allocate the Physical Resources Blocks (PRBs) of all Component Carriers (CCs) to Real Time (RT) and-non Real Time (NRT) users using various criteria. Our proposed...
The smart grid is a modern electricity grid that uses wireless technologies to control and supervise the substation and the electricity generation and consumption sides. Several wireless technologies can be used for smart grid communication such as Long-Term evolution (LTE) and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX). However, LTE is the most compatible network for the smart grid because...
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) has been adopted in the newest fifth generation radio networks (5G) such as Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RANs) and Heterogeneous Cloud Radio Access Networks (H-CRANs). Therefore, new scheduling strategies should be projected. In 5G radio networks, restricted requirements must be considered to implement an effective service to users such as throughput,...
Quality of service (QoS) requirements have paved the way to a great deal of research about scheduling and resource allocation mechanisms. The fairness and throughput maximization have been considered as classical techniques. These techniques fail to fit with different QoS requirements over the Long Term Evolution (LTE) systems. These QoS requirements are presented in the form of scheduling priorities,...
Colossal amounts of data are being generated in extreme-scale e-Sciences with the advent of new computation tools and experimental infrastructures. Such extremely large and complex data sets normally need to be transferred remotely for data storage and analysis. Reserving bandwidth as needed along selected paths in high-performance networks (HPNs) has proved to be an effective way to satisfy the high-demanding...
This paper presents the performance of scheduling for adaptive modulation and coding based on the dynamic margin control. To cover various wireless channel conditions and requirements for multimedia traffic QoS, the selection of suitable MCS (Modulation and Coding Scheme) is important technique in real deployment and management fields. In this paper, we propose dynamic margin control schemes based...
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is rapidly flourishing in the global market due to its speed, coverage, relative ease of deployment, and consistency. However, Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning scheme is not fully defined for LTE, and it is left open for researchers to explore. In this paper, we propose a QoS provisioning technique for LTE. This technique involves a two-level scheduling scheme, consisting...
Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access applications and QoS specifications are based upon class based schemes. These service classes effect to QoS for user fairness and system utilization. Improved MAX C/I algorithm considers user waiting time and channel to interference ratio but not class based scheduling schemes, after including this neglecting condition algorithm solves the problem of...
Appropriate bandwidth allocation is an important issue to benefit the long Term Evolution (LTE) networks performance. Single-carrier FDMA (SC-FDMA) multiple access scheme has been chosen for the 3GPP LTE uplink scheduling. However, it requires that all the sub carriers allocated to a single user must be in contiguous frequency band within each time slot. This constraint limits the scheduling flexibility...
Assuring quality-of-service (QoS) and guaranteeing effective utilization of resources in a network with heterogeneous traffic is difficult due to the conflicting requirements associated with the different types of traffic. Nevertheless, emerging high-bandwidth third/fourth-generation (3G/4G) technologies, such as Long-Term Evolution (LTE) and LTE-Advanced, are expected to meet the demands of new applications...
Cloud Computing is a major area of research. Cost and Load balancing has become an important QoS parameter. Load Balancing directly affects the Reliability, Response Time, Throughput and Energy Efficiency of a Server. A good Load Balanced architecture implies minimized overall time, less server failure, minimized response time, increased throughput and less wastage of energy. Such architecture also...
The era of cloud based multimedia applications has lead to a huge increase in the no. of requests on cloud. The increased no. of requests on cloud leads to an increased workload, making workload balancing an important QoS Parameter. Workload Balancing also leads to a judicious use of resources like electricity etc. and thus promotes the concept of Green IT. The paper presents a new Load Balanced Resource...
In this paper we propose a utility-based scheduling mechanism for mixed traffic in wireless networks to mitigate the problem that current scheduling algorithms cannot have a good performance in mixed traffic. The proposed algorithm called UBSA (Utility-Based Scheduling Algorithm) works in wired-wireless hybrid networks. Packets of diverse QoS (Quality of Service) classes are allocated to different...
Providing QoS guarantees, boosting throughput and saving energy over wireless links is a challenging task, especially in emergency networks, where all of these features are crucial during a disaster event. A common solution is using a single, integrated scheduler that deals both with the QoS guarantees and the wireless link issues. Unfortunately, such an approach is not flexible and does not allow...
Smallcell technology is gaining significance as part of the next-generation cellular systems due to their performance benefits in terms of increased network capacity and improved indoor and local coverage. Hybrid access smallcells, which provide service to both indoor as well as neighboring users, adopt adhoc policies to guarantee performance benefits to indoor home users in the presence of external...
Mobile data traffic has exploded over the last few years, especially with the introduction of smart phones in conjunction with increased capacity of mobile networks (HSDPA, LTE). It is commonly admitted that this continuous growth of traffic will induce congestion on the radio segment, usually considered as the bottleneck of the mobile chain. QoS mechanisms adapted to the radio segment are then potentially...
This paper proposes an improved QoS scheduling scheme, called the Modified Proportional Fairness with Multi-Hop (MPF-MH) algorithm for Cognitive Radio Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (CR MANET). Within the context of multi-channel MAC enabled networks, mobile nodes can experience simultaneous transmission across multiple channels. Benefiting from the proposed cross layer design, the real-time channel conditions...
LTE uplink frequency scheduling algorithms have neglected the user equipment's (UE) QoS requirements, relying only on the time domain to provide such requirements when creating the allocation matrix for the next transmission time interval. Two time domain paradigms exist for creating the resource allocation matrix: channel-dependent and proportional fairness. The channel dependent paradigm considers...
We consider the problem of providing QoS guarantees, and at the same time boosting the throughput or saving energy over a wireless link. A common solution is using a single, integrated scheduler that deals both with the QoS guarantees and the wireless link issues. Unfortunately, such an approach does not allow any of the existing high-quality schedulers for wired links to be used without modification...
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO), and Adaptive Modulation and Coding (AMC) are advanced signal processing techniques introduced in the wireless 3GPP LTE standard. In MIMO-OFDMA system, by taking advantage of the spatial dimension and depending on the time-varying wireless channel condition, the most efficient modulation and coding with spatial...
