Downlink Scheduling with Optimal Antenna Assignment for MIMO Cellular Systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
The bandwidth-limited wireless channel can considerably improve the performance by exploiting multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antennas. Combining spatial multiplexing with multiuser diversity, we develop an optimal cross-layer scheduling mechanism that executes fair scheduling at the upper layer and optimal antenna assignment at the physical layer. For fair scheduling, we propose a framework that achieves the objective of maximum capacity and proportional fairness. For optimal antenna assignment, we consider the Hungarian algorithm that maximally utilizes the characteristics of MIMO systems by adopting the graph theoretical approach. Through simulations, we demonstrate the performance of optimal scheduling.

MIMO downlink joint processing and scheduling: a survey of classical and recent results
Using M antennas at the base station can boost the downlink throughput by a factor M (multiplexing gain), even though the receivers have a single antenna and do not cooperate. In this semi-tutorial paper, we discuss some lowcomplexity alternatives to achieve a downlink throughput very close to the optimal sum capacity. We review and compare these alternatives and we show that, in the simple set...

In this paper, we propose the capacity-near-optimal and computation-effective Maximum Total Eigenmode Gains (MTEG) principle for the transmit antenna selection in the MIMO downlink of a cellular communication system. An Equivalent Channel Matrix (ECM) is proposed to characterize the quasistatic MIMO channel with Rayleigh fading, the co-channel interference, and the Additive White Gaussian Noise...

~Packet scheduling is investigated for the downlink of a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) cellular system. The conventional round robin scheduling (RRS) scheme does not utilize the benefits of multiuser environments, although it provides fair channel access chance to users. We propose an antenna-assisted round robin scheduling (AA-RRS) scheme to improve the conventional RRS scheme. The AA-...
