Abstract:
Iterative sequential selection techniques can be used to efficiently compute RB assignment sequences in relay-assisted networks. Embodiment techniques construct a graphical representation of a cyclic group based on a selected pattern in a set of patterns and a selected cyclic-shift in a plurality of cyclic shifts. Remaining patterns are placed in a unitary group, and an iterative sequential selection technique is used to evaluate the remaining patterns in the unitary group for each of the cyclic shifts over a sequence of iterations, thereby complete the list of RB assignment sequences. At the end of each iteration, a new RB assignment sequence is added based on the pattern, cyclic shift tuple producing the fewest collisions with occupied resource blocks of the graphical representation.

Abstract:
Embodiments are provided for scheduling resources considering data rate-efficiency and fairness trade-off. A value of Jain's fairness index (JFI) is determined for transmitting a service to a plurality of users, and accordingly a sum of throughputs is maximized for transmitting the service to the users. Alternatively, a sum of throughputs is determined first and accordingly the JFI is maximized. Maximizing the sum of throughputs or JFI includes selecting a suitable value for a tuning parameter in an efficiency and fairness trade-off relation model. In accordance with the values of sum of throughputs and JFI, a plurality of resources are allocated for transmitting the service to the users. For static or quasi-static channels, the relation model is a convex function with a monotonic trade-off property. For ergodic time varying channels, the tuning parameter is selected by solving the relation model using a gradient-based approach.
