Practical Resource Allocation Algorithms for QoS in OFDMA-based Wireless Systems
In this work we propose an efficient resource allocation algorithm for OFDMA
based wireless systems supporting heterogeneous traffic. The proposed algorithm
provides proportionally fairness to data users and short term rate guarantees
to real-time users. Based on the QoS requirements, buffer occupancy and channel
conditions, we propose a scheme for rate requirement determination for delay
constrained sessions. Then we formulate and solve the proportional fair rate
allocation problem subject to those rate requirements and power/bandwidth
constraints. Simulations results show that the proposed algorithm provides
significant improvement with respect to the benchmark algorithm.Comment: To be presented at 2nd IEEE International Broadband Wireless Access

A Fair and Efficient Packet Scheduling Scheme for IEEE 802.16 Broadband Wireless Access Systems
This paper proposes a fair and efficient QoS scheduling scheme for IEEE
802.16 BWA systems that satisfies both throughput and delay guarantee to
various real and non-real time applications. The proposed QoS scheduling scheme
is compared with an existing QoS scheduling scheme proposed in literature in
recent past. Simulation results show that the proposed scheduling scheme can
provide a tight QoS guarantee in terms of delay, delay violation rate and
throughput for all types of traffic as defined in the WiMAX standard, thereby
maintaining the fairness and helps to eliminate starvation of lower priority
class services. Bandwidth utilization of the system and fairness index of the
resources are also encountered to validate the QoS provided by our proposed
scheduling scheme
An algorithm for controlling packet size in IEEE 802.16e networks
This paper proposes an algorithm to be used in IEEE 802.16e networks for adapting MAC PDU size to wireless channel behavior when ARQ is adopted at MAC layer. The algorithm is based on an analytical approach for dynamically evaluating the optimal packet size. The latter is derived from an expression of the ARQ protocol efficiency, obtained by exploiting a finite-state Markov error model which also takes into account Adaptive Modulation/Coding. The effectiveness of the designed algorithm in improving TCP performance has been evaluated
Interworking Architectures in Heterogeneous Wireless Networks: An Algorithmic Overview
The scarce availability of spectrum and the proliferation of
smartphones, social networking applications, online gaming
etc., mobile network operators (MNOs) are faced with an
exponential growth in packet switched data requirements on
their networks. Haven invested in legacy systems (such as
HSPA, WCDMA, WiMAX, Cdma2000, LTE, etc.) that have
hitherto withstood the current and imminent data usage
demand, future and projected usage surpass the capabilities of the evolution of these individual technologies. Hence, a more critical, cost-effective and flexible approach to provide ubiquitous coverage for the user using available spectrum is of high demand. Heterogeneous Networks make use of these legacy systems by allowing users to connect to the best network available and most importantly seamlessly handover active sessions amidst them. This paper presents a survey of interworking architectures between IMT 2000 candidate networks that employ the use of IEFT protocols such as MIP, mSCTP, HIP, MOBIKE, IKEV2 and SIP etc. to bring about this much needed capacity
