Radio resource management (RRM) is widely regarded as a critical component in improving spectral efficiency of beyond third generation (3G) cellular air interfaces. Much of the published work in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) RRM focuses on exploiting multi-user, multi-channel and multi-application diversity. In this paper, we propose a Quality of Service (QoS)-aware bit scheduling...
We consider the problem of optimizing time averages in systems with independent and identically distributed behavior over renewal frames. This includes scheduling and task processing to maximize utility in stochastic networks with variable length scheduling modes. Every frame, a new policy is implemented that affects the frame size and that creates a vector of attributes. An algorithm is developed...
With its comprehensive QoS support and ubiquitous coverage, the mobile WiMAX network offers promising opportunities for unwiring the last mile connectivity to Internet. However, stringent QoS demands of multimedia applications entail studies on service-oriented radio resource management. This article systematically examines the design issues and the state of the art of multimedia downlink scheduling...
Energy efficiency is a primordial issue in the wireless sensor networks. This is achieved by deactivating nodes when possible. In this paper we describe the MAC protocol MaCARI that synchronizes nodes in order to schedule active and inactive periods. MaCARI divides time into three periods: a synchronization period, a scheduled activities period where communications are constrained by a tree and an...
This paper considers distributed protocol design for joint sub-carrier, transmission scheduling and power management in uplink/downlink multi-cellular OFDMA wireless networks. The optimal solution to this problem is hard to achieve, both in theory and in practice. We propose a fully decentralized resource allocation scheme combining decomposition methods for convex optimization with a strategic non-cooperative...
Consider network coded multicast traffic over a wireless network in the bandwidth limited regime. We formulate the joint medium access and subgraph optimization problem by means of a graphical conflict model. The nature of network coded flows is not captured by classical link-based scheduling and therefore requires a novel approach based on conflicting hyperarcs. By means of simulations, we evaluate...
The next generation of wireless networks (4G) will use OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) in the reverse link. In OFDMA, the reverse link resources assigned to a user are called tiles each of which consists of a subset of consecutive subcarriers. Since at most one user is assigned to each of these tiles then reverse link transmissions within a sector are orthogonal. However, the...
