Fairness-Aware Superposition Coded Scheduling for a Multi-User Cooperative Cellular System
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider Downlink (DL) scheduling for a multi-user cooperative cellular system with fixed relays. The conventional scheduling trend is to avoid interference by allocating orthogonal radio resources to each user, although simultaneous allocation of users on the same resource has been proven to be superior in, e.g., the broadcast channel. Therefore, we design a scheduler where in each frame, two selected relayed users are supported simultaneously through the Superposition Coding (SC) based scheme proposed in this paper. In this scheme, the messages destined to the two users are superposed in the modulation domain into three SC layers, allowing them to benefit from their high quality relayed links, thereby increasing the sum-rate. We derive the optimal power allocation over these three layers that maximizes the sum-rate under an equal rates’ constraint. By integrating this scheme into the proposed scheduler, the simulation results show that our proposed SC scheduler provides high throughput and rate outage probability performance, indicating a significant fairness improvement. This validates the approach of simultaneous allocation versus orthogonal allocation in the cooperative cellular system. key words: cellular system, radio resource allocation, scheduling, wireless relay, superposition coding, cooperative diversity

Proportional fair scheduling with superposition coding in a cellular cooperative relay system - Invited paper
Many works have tackled on the problem of throughput and fairness optimization in cellular cooperative relaying systems. Considering firstly a two-user relay broadcast channel, we design a scheme based on Superposition Coding (SC) which maximizes the achievable sum-rate under a Proportional Fairness (PF) constraint. Unlike most relaying schemes where users are allocated orthogonally, our scheme...

This paper assumes each user has more than one queue, derives a new packet-dependant proportional fairness power allocation pattern based on the sum of weight capacity and the packet’s priority in users’ queues, and proposes 4 new cross-layer packet-dependant OFDM scheduling schemes based on proportional fairness for heterogeneous classes of traffic. Scenario 1, scenario 2 and scenario 3 lead r...
متن کاملCooperative communication using mobile relays with α-proportional fair scheduling
In this paper, a cooperative relaying system with α-proportional fair scheduling is proposed for multi-carrier systems. The cooperative relaying provides ’virtual’ MIMO through combining the signals from the source and the relay at the destination in addition to the advantage of the simple relaying which reduces path-loss attenuation in the air interface. We have adopted the α-proportional fair...
متن کاملThroughput versus Fairness: Channel-Aware Scheduling in Multiple Antenna Downlink
Channel aware and opportunistic scheduling algorithms exploit the channel knowledge and fading to increase the average throughput. Alternatively, each user could be served equally in order to maximize fairness. Obviously, there is a tradeoff between average throughput and fairness in the system. In this paper, we study four representative schedulers, namely the maximum throughput scheduler (MTS...
