2D Proactive Uplink Resource Allocation Algorithm for Event Based MTC Applications
We propose a two dimension (2D) proactive uplink resource allocation
(2D-PURA) algorithm that aims to reduce the delay/latency in event-based
machine-type communications (MTC) applications. Specifically, when an event of
interest occurs at a device, it tends to spread to the neighboring devices.
Consequently, when a device has data to send to the base station (BS), its
neighbors later are highly likely to transmit. Thus, we propose to cluster
devices in the neighborhood around the event, also referred to as the
disturbance region, into rings based on the distance from the original event.
To reduce the uplink latency, we then proactively allocate resources for these
rings. To evaluate the proposed algorithm, we analytically derive the mean
uplink delay, the proportion of resource conservation due to successful
allocations, and the proportion of uplink resource wastage due to unsuccessful
allocations for 2D-PURA algorithm. Numerical results demonstrate that the
proposed method can save over 16.5 and 27 percent of mean uplink delay,
compared with the 1D algorithm and the standard method, respectively.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures, Published in 2018 IEEE Wireless Communications
