An Enhanced Feedback-Base Downlink Packet Scheduling Algorithm for Mobile TV in WIMAX Networks
With high speed access network technology like WIMAX, there is the need for efficient management of radio resources where the throughput and Qos requirements for Multicasting Broadcasting Services (MBS) for example TV are to be met. An enhanced feedback-base downlink Packet scheduling algorithm that can be used in IEEE 802.16d/e networks for mobile TV “one way traffic”(MBS) is needed to support many users utilizing multiuser diversity of the broadband of WIMAX systems where a group of users(good/worst channels) share allocated resources (bandwidth). This paper proposes a WIMAX framework feedback-base (like a channel-awareness) downlink packet scheduling algorithm for Mobile TV traffics in IEEE806.16, in which network Physical Timing Slots (PSs) resource blocks are allocated in a dynamic way to mobile TV subscribers based on the Channel State information (CSI) feedback, and then considering users with worst channels with the aim of improving system throughput while system coverage is being guaranteed. The algorithm was examined by changing the PSs bandwidth allocation of the users and different number of users of a cell. Simulation results show our proposed algorithm performed better than other algorithms (blind algorithms) in terms of improvement in system throughput performance.

Frame Structure Design and Analysis for Millimeter Wave Cellular Systems
The millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies have attracted considerable
attention for fifth generation (5G) cellular communication as they offer orders
of magnitude greater bandwidth than current cellular systems. However, the
medium access control (MAC) layer may need to be significantly redesigned to
support the highly directional transmissions, ultra-low latencies and high peak
rates expected in mmWave communication. To address these challenges, we present
a novel mmWave MAC layer frame structure with a number of enhancements
including flexible, highly granular transmission times, dynamic control signal
locations, extended messaging and ability to efficiently multiplex directional
control signals. Analytic formulae are derived for the utilization and control
overhead as a function of control periodicity, number of users, traffic
statistics, signal-to-noise ratio and antenna gains. Importantly, the analysis
can incorporate various front-end MIMO capability assumptions -- a critical
feature of mmWave. Under realistic system and traffic assumptions, the analysis
reveals that the proposed flexible frame structure design offers significant
benefits over designs with fixed frame structures similar to current 4G
long-term evolution (LTE). It is also shown that fully digital beamforming
architectures offer significantly lower overhead compared to analog and hybrid
beamforming under equivalent power budgets.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions for Wireless Communication
Proportional fair buffer scheduling algorithm for 5G enhanced mobile broadband
The impending next generation of mobile communications denoted 5G intends to interconnect user equipment, things, vehicles, and cities. It will provide an order of magnitude improvement in performance and network efficiency, and different combinations of use cases enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra reliable low latency communications (URLLC), massive internet of things (mIoT) with new capabilities and diverse requirements. Adoption of advanced radio resource management procedures such as packet scheduling algorithms is necessary to distribute radio resources among different users efficiently. The proportional fair (PF) scheduling algorithm and its modified versions have proved to be the commonly used scheduling algorithms for their ability to provide a tradeoff between throughput and fairness. In this article, the buffer status is combined with the PF metric to suggest a new scheduling algorithm for efficient support for eMBB. The effectiveness of the proposed scheduling strategy is proved through Ă comprehensive experimental analysis based on the evaluation of different quality of service key performance indicators (QoS KPIs) such as throughput, fairness, and buffer status
Advanced Radio Resource Management for Multi Antenna Packet Radio Systems
In this paper, we propose fairness-oriented packet scheduling (PS) schemes
with power-efficient control mechanism for future packet radio systems. In
general, the radio resource management functionality plays an important role in
new OFDMA based networks. The control of the network resource division among
the users is performed by packet scheduling functionality based on maximizing
cell coverage and capacity satisfying, and certain quality of service
requirements. Moreover, multiantenna transmit-receive schemes provide
additional flexibility to packet scheduler functionality. In order to mitigate
inter-cell and co-channel interference problems in OFDMA cellular networks soft
frequency reuse with different power masks patterns is used. Stemming from the
earlier enhanced proportional fair scheduler studies for single-input
multiple-output (SIMO) and multiple-input multipleoutput (MIMO) systems, we
extend the development of efficient packet scheduling algorithms by adding
transmit power considerations in the overall priority metrics calculations and
scheduling decisions. Furthermore, we evaluate the proposed scheduling schemes
by simulating practical orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA)
based packet radio system in terms of throughput, coverage and fairness
distribution among users. As a concrete example, under reduced overall transmit
power constraint and unequal power distribution for different sub-bands, we
demonstrate that by using the proposed power-aware multi-user scheduling
schemes, significant coverage and fairness improvements in the order of 70% and
20%, respectively, can be obtained, at the expense of average throughput loss
of only 15%.Comment: 14 Pages, IJWM
