摘要:
A base station design for a wireless communication system is disclosed with a hierarchical scheduler for packet data services which is advantageously both traffic-aware and channel-dependent in a manner which enhances the users' perception of network performance. In one embodiment, a cross-layer hierarchical scheduler is disclosed which further comprises an intra-user scheduler and an inter-user scheduler.

A flexible scheduling method with tunable throughput maximization and fairness guarantees in resource allocation is required and suitable for high-rate packet data and other services. Our inventive method, named Alpha-Rule, employs a control variable α, that permits dynamic and/or real-time adjustment/tradeoff between aggregate throughput, per-user throughput, and per-user resource allocation. Our method advantageously operates in conjunction with Multiple-input Multiple-Output techniques such as Space-Time Block Coding (STBC), Bell Labs Layered Space-Time (BLAST) and others, while offering greater flexibility than existing scheduling techniques, e.g., max-C/I or Proportionally Fair (PF).

摘要:
A method includes constraining total power received from cellular users accessing a base station through any one of a TDMA access, CDMA access, and a derivation of a TDMA/CDMA access, and scheduling users for access to the base station within the constrained total power in response to an optimization that for each time slot determines a group of time critical cellular users and their transmission power factoring in instantaneous location-dependent channel states and long term quality of service performance. In the preferred embodiment, the optimization includes an iterative solution of an NP-hard Knapsak problem with initialization of maximum transmit power per cellular user inversely proportional to at least one of an activity factor of a cellular user's channel, the cellular user's antenna gain, the instantaneous channel gain of a dedicated uplink channel for the cellular user, and other-cellular user to same-cellular user interference ratio, and directly proportional to total resource power consumption.

A real-time scheduler is disclosed for packet data services in a wireless communication network. A hierarchical scheduler is also disclosed which has the flexibility to handle mixed real-time and non-real-time users.
摘要:
A call admission control technique is described which is well-suited for wireless systems providing real-time services over a shared downlink. The call admission control technique considers both multiplexing and multi-user diversity gain. The technique accurately determines the multi-user diversity gain by measuring per-user resource allocation and advantageously maximizes user accommodations under quality-of-service (QoS) as well as location-dependent resource availability constraints. In a further aspect, the call admission control technique is combined with delay-based scheduling, which effectively balances between system efficiency (channel exploitation) and user expectation (e.g., QoS). A system embodying the described call admission control and scheduling techniques can advantageously deliver efficient real-time services and remain robust to different load scenarios that vary according to system dynamics and/or user mobility.
