Optimizing User-Level Packet Scheduling Performance through Optimal CQI-Based Resource Allocation in LTE
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.main##
Abstract
Our research investigates the Dynamic Resource Allocation in the Downlink of OFDMA-based LTE-A networks. It addresses both user-level and system-level packet scheduling performance. At the user-level, a Traffic Differentiator stage segregates packet queues from active users into different service queues based on service types. Users are prioritized within each service queue based on their QoS requirements and wireless channel conditions, utilizing SPSSA. At the system-level, fairness among users is a key consideration. We propose the PITDSA in the TD Scheduler stage, which aims to allocate just enough radio resource to real-time and non-real time services and assign the remaining available resource to background service. In the FD Scheduler stage, we propose an optimal CQI selection algorithm for resource allocation to exploit frequency domain multi-user diversity. We present our simulation results and analyses of all novel algorithms, and the performance of the Optimal CQI selection algorithm is compared with other algorithms. Our proposed scheduling algorithm demonstrates improved QoS for real-time and non-real time services while maintaining a good traded user-level and system-level performance. Future work can focus on optimizing the throughput or the fairness or both, and more advanced and complex techniques can be designed with the same goal.
