A Novel Proportional Fairness Scheduling for Subcarrier Allocation in OFDM Based Relaying Systems

Article Preview

Abstract:

Different data rate services are expected to support for heterogeneous users in OFDM based relaying networks. And fairness of users is an important factor that cannot be neglected in the process of resource allocation, particularly for users at the cell edge. The traditional proportional fairness (PF) scheduling algorithm provides a trade-off between average throughout and fairness in wireless communication networks. This paper investigates subcarrier allocation problem of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) aided relaying systems with PF constraint and proposes an efficient PF scheduling priority by using the users channel condition of past scheduling time and current scheduling time more comprehensively and uniformly which can both maximize the system transmission rate and enhance the system fairness no less than traditional ones. The simulation results show the validity.
