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...

Proportional fairness is a concept from resource sharing tasks among n users, where each user receives at least 1/n of her or his total value of the infinitely divisible resource. Here we provide an approach to proportional fairness that allows its extension to discrete domains, as well as for the direct application of evolutionary computation to approximate proportional fair states. We employ ...

Proposed is a new I/O scheduling for SSD, proportional work-conserving. The proposed scheduling algorithm provides proportional fairness among tasks. To provide proportional fairness, proportional work-conserving differentiates probability to fully utilise the task’s quantum, which is controlled by adjusting opportunistic waiting time. Its proportional fairness is formally proveds and its valid...

How does one allocate a collection of resources to a set of strategic agents in a fair and efficient manner without using money? For in many scenarios it is not feasible to use money to compensate agents for otherwise unsatisfactory outcomes. This paper studies this question, looking at both fairness and efficiency measures. • We employ the proportionally fair solution, which is a well-known fa...

In this paper, we present a proportional fairness with bandwidthborrowing (PFBB) scheme for a two-tier NEMO system. When traffic load is light, free-slot borrowing is employed to maximize system utilization. On the other hand, when traffic load is heavy and session arrival rates in different tiers are not proportional to their distributed areas, busy-slot borrowing is used to achieve proportion...
