چکیده

In order to mitigate high cochannel interference resulting from dense channel reuse, the interference management issues are often considered as essential part of scheduling schemes in fixed broadband wireless access (FBWA) networks. To that end, a series of literature has been published recently, in which a group of base stations forms an interferer group (downlink transmissions from each base station become dominant interference for the users in other in-group base stations), and the scheduling scheme deployed in the group allows only one base station to transmit at a time. As a result of time orthogonality in transmissions, the dominant cochannel interferers are prevented, and hence the packet error rate can be improved. However, prohibiting concurrent transmissions in these orthogonal schemes introduces throughput penalty as well as higher end-to-end packet delay which might not be desirable for real-time services. In this paper, we utilize opportunistic nonorthogonality among the in-group transmissions whenever possible and propose a novel transmission scheduling scheme for FBWA networks. The proposed scheme, in contrast to the proactive interference avoidance techniques, strives for the improvements in delay and throughput efficiency. To facilitate opportunistic nonorthogonal transmissions in the interferer group, estimation of signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) is required at the scheduler. We have observed from simulations that the proposed scheme outperforms the reference orthogonal scheme in terms of spectral efficiency, mean packet delay, and packet dropping rate.

Radio resource allocation in fixed broadband wireless networks

We consider use of fixed broadband wireless networks to provide packet services for telecommuting and Internet access. Each cell in such networks is divided into multiple sectors, each of them served by a sector antenna co-located with the base station (BS), and user terminals also use directional antennas mounted on the roof top of homes or small offices and pointed to their respective BS ante...

QoS Differentiated and Fair Packet Scheduling in Broadband Wireless Access Networks

This paper studies the packet scheduling problem in Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) networks. The key difficulties of the BWA scheduling problem lie in the high variability of wireless channel capacity and the unknown model of packet arrival process. It is difficult for traditional heuristic scheduling algorithms to handle the situation and guarantee satisfying performance in BWA networks. In t...

Delay Threshold-Based Priority Queueing Packet Scheduling for Integrated Services in Mobile Broadband Wireless Access System

In this paper, we present an opportunistic packet scheduling algorithm to support both real-time (RT) and non-real-time (NRT) services in mobile broadband wireless access (MBWA) systems. Our design objective is to determine the maximum number of RT and NRT users with respect to the overall service revenue while satisfying individual QoS requirements, e.g., the maximum allowable packet loss rate...

Interference Management using Packet Scheduling in Broadband Wireless Access Networks

This paper proposes a transmission scheduling algorithm for interference management in broadband wireless access networks. The algorithm aims to minimize the cochannel interference using basestation coordination while still maintaining the other quality of service (QoS) requirements such as packet delay, throughput, and packet loss. The interference reduction is achieved by avoiding (or minimiz...

Analytic Prediction of OFDM Performance with a Covert Interferer

This paper addresses how to hide the transmission of information within the RF environment created by packet-based broadband wireless (infrastructure) networks, like LTE. The desire to hide the transmission of information has existed since antiquity; including concealing the very existence of transmissions, since exposing the presence of transmissions may expose the location of the sender or an...
