Performance Analysis for Bandwidth Allocation in IEEE 802.16 Broadband Wireless Networks using BMAP Queueing
This paper presents a performance analysis for the bandwidth allocation in
IEEE 802.16 broadband wireless access (BWA) networks considering the
packet-level quality-of-service (QoS) constraints. Adaptive Modulation and
Coding (AMC) rate based on IEEE 802.16 standard is used to adjust the
transmission rate adaptively in each frame time according to channel quality in
order to obtain multiuser diversity gain. To model the arrival process and the
traffic source we use the Batch Markov Arrival Process (BMAP), which enables
more realistic and more accurate traffic modelling. We determine analytically
different performance parameters, such as average queue length, packet dropping
probability, queue throughput and average packet delay. Finally, the analytical
results are validated numerically.Comment: 16 page
Analytical Model of Proportional Fair Scheduling in Interference-limited OFDMA/LTE Networks
Various system tasks like interference coordination, handover decisions,
admission control etc. in upcoming cellular networks require precise mid-term
(spanning over a few seconds) performance models. Due to channel-dependent
scheduling at the base station, these performance models are not simple to
obtain. Furthermore, upcoming cellular systems will be interference-limited,
hence, the way interference is modeled is crucial for the accuracy. In this
paper we present an analytical model for the SINR distribution of the
\textit{scheduled} subcarriers of an OFDMA system with proportional fair
scheduling. The model takes the precise SINR distribution into account. We
furthermore refine our model with respect to uniform modulation and coding, as
applied in LTE networks. The derived models are validated by means of
simulations. In additon, we show that our models are approximate estimators for
the performance of rate-based proportional fair scheduling, while they
outperform some simpler prediction models from related work significantly.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures. This work has been submitted to the IEEE for
