Flow Level Performance Comparison of Packet Scheduling Schemes for UMTS EUL
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Enhanced Uplink (EUL) is expected to provide higher capacity, increased data rates and smaller latency on the communication link from users towards the network. A key mechanism in the EUL traffic handling is the packet scheduler. In this paper we present a performance comparison of three distinct EUL scheduling schemes (one-by-one, partial parallel and full parallel) taking into account both the packet level characteristics and the flow level dynamics due to the random user behavior. For that purpose, we develop a hybrid analytical/simulation approach allowing for fast evaluation of performance measures such as mean file transfer time and fairness expressing how the performance depends on the user’s location.

متن کاملUplink packet scheduling in cellular networks with relaying - comparative study
Deployment of intermediate relay nodes in cellular networks, e.g. UMTS/ HSPA, has been proposed for service enhancement, which is of particular importance for uplink users at the cell edge suffering from low power capacity and relatively poor channel conditions. In this paper, we propose and investigate a number of uplink packet scheduling schemes deploying the relay functionality in different ...

While fading effects have long been combatted in 2G wireless networks, primarily devoted to voice calls, they are now seen as an opportunity to increase the capacity of 3G networks that incorporate data traffic. The packet delay tolerance of data applications, such as file transfers andWeb browsing for instance, allows the system flexibility in scheduling a user’s packets. So-called opportunist...

A resource scheduling scheme is presented to improve throughput and fairness for NRT packet data traffic on the downlink shared channel of a UMTS WCDMA network supporting multiple services. The proposed Fair Resource Scheduling (FRS) scheme takes into account link conditions to enhance throughput and provides fair resource sharing among traffic flows. FRS includes service priority handling duri...
