A Survey on Delay-Aware Resource Control for Wireless Systems --- Large Deviation Theory, Stochastic Lyapunov Drift and Distributed Stochastic Learning
In this tutorial paper, a comprehensive survey is given on several major
systematic approaches in dealing with delay-aware control problems, namely the
equivalent rate constraint approach, the Lyapunov stability drift approach and
the approximate Markov Decision Process (MDP) approach using stochastic
learning. These approaches essentially embrace most of the existing literature
regarding delay-aware resource control in wireless systems. They have their
relative pros and cons in terms of performance, complexity and implementation
issues. For each of the approaches, the problem setup, the general solution and
the design methodology are discussed. Applications of these approaches to
delay-aware resource allocation are illustrated with examples in single-hop
wireless networks. Furthermore, recent results regarding delay-aware multi-hop
routing designs in general multi-hop networks are elaborated. Finally, the
delay performance of the various approaches are compared through simulations
using an example of the uplink OFDMA systems.Comment: 58 pages, 8 figures; IEEE Transactions on Information Theory, 201
Cross-layer design for single-cell OFDMA systems with heterogeneous QoS and partial CSIT
Abstract— This paper proposes a novel cross-layer scheduling scheme for a single-cell orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) wireless system with partial channel state information (CSI) at transmitter (CSIT) and heterogeneous user delay requirements. Previous research efforts on OFDMA resource allocation are typically based on the availability of perfect CSI or imperfect CSI but with small error variance. Either case consists to typify a non tangible system as the potential facts of channel feedback delay or large channel estimation errors have not been considered. Thus, to attain a more realistic resolution our cross-layer design determines optimal subcarrier and power allocation policies based on partial CSIT and individual user’s quality of service (QoS) requirements. The simulation results show that the proposed cross-layer scheduler can maximize the system’s throughput and at the same time satisfy heterogeneous delay requirements of various users with significant low power consumption
Scheduling for Multi-Camera Surveillance in LTE Networks
Wireless surveillance in cellular networks has become increasingly important,
while commercial LTE surveillance cameras are also available nowadays.
Nevertheless, most scheduling algorithms in the literature are throughput,
fairness, or profit-based approaches, which are not suitable for wireless
surveillance. In this paper, therefore, we explore the resource allocation
problem for a multi-camera surveillance system in 3GPP Long Term Evolution
(LTE) uplink (UL) networks. We minimize the number of allocated resource blocks
(RBs) while guaranteeing the coverage requirement for surveillance systems in
LTE UL networks. Specifically, we formulate the Camera Set Resource Allocation
Problem (CSRAP) and prove that the problem is NP-Hard. We then propose an
Integer Linear Programming formulation for general cases to find the optimal
solution. Moreover, we present a baseline algorithm and devise an approximation
algorithm to solve the problem. Simulation results based on a real surveillance
map and synthetic datasets manifest that the number of allocated RBs can be
effectively reduced compared to the existing approach for LTE networks.Comment: 9 pages, 10 figure
