Proportional Fairness-Based Energy-Efficient Power Allocation in Downlink MIMO-NOMA Systems with Statistical CSI

In this paper, proportional fairness(PF)-based energy-efficient power allocation is studied for multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) non-orthogonal multiple access(NOMA) systems. In our schemes, statistical channel state information(CSI) is utilized for perfect CSI is impossible to achieve in practice. PF is used to balance the transmission efficiency and user fairness. Energy efficiency(EE) is formulated under basic data rate requirements and maximum transmitting power constraints. Due to the non-convex nature of EE, a two-step algorithm is proposed to obtain sub-optimal solution with a low complexity. Firstly, power allocation is determined by golden section search for fixed power. Secondly total transmitting power is determined by fractional programming method in the feasible regions. Compared to the performance of MIMO-NOMA without PF constraint, fairness is obtained at expense of decreasing of EE.

Proportional Fairness Based Energy Efficient Routing in Wireless Sensor Network

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is an independent device that comprises a discrete collection of Sensor Nodes (SN) to sense environmental positions,device monitoring, and collection of information. Due to limited energy resourcesavailable at SN, the primary issue is to present an energy-efficient framework andconserve the energy while constructing a route path along with each sensor node.However, many energy-efficient techniques focused drastically on energy harvesting and reduced energy consumption but failed to support energy-efficient routingwith minimal energy consumption in WSN. This paper presents an energy-efficientrouting system called Energy-aware Proportional Fairness Multi-user Routing(EPFMR) framework in WSN. EPFMR is deployed in the WSN environment usingthe instance time. The request time sent for the route discovery is the foremost stepdesigned in the EPFMR framework to reduce the energy consumption rate. Theproportional fairness routing in WSN selects the best route path for the packet flowbased on the relationship between the periods of requests between different SN.Route path discovered for packet flow also measure energy on multi-user route pathusing the Greedy Instance Fair Method (GIFM). The GIFM in EPFMR developsnode dependent energy-efficient localized route path, improving the throughput.The energy-aware framework maximizes the throughput rate and performs experimental evaluation on factors such as energy consumption rate during routing,Throughput, RST, node density and average energy per packet in WSN. The RouteSearching Time (RST) is reduced using the Boltzmann Distribution (BD), and as aresult, the energy is minimized on multi-user WSN. Finally, GIFM applies aninstance time difference-based route searching on WSN to attain an optimal energyminimization system. Experimental analysis shows that the EPFMR framework canreduce the RST by 23.47% and improve the throughput by 6.79% compared withthe state-of-the-art works.

User Fairness Scheme with Proportional Fair Scheduling in Multi-user MIMO Limited Feedback System

In Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) downlink system, suitable user selection schemes can improve spatial diversity gain. In most of previous studies, it is always assumed that the base station (BS) knows full channel state information (CSI) of each user, which does not consider the reality. However, there are only limited feedback bits in real system. Besides, user fairness is often ignored in most of current user selection schemes. To discuss the user fairness and limited feedback, in this paper, the user selection scheme with limited feedback bits is proposed. The BS utilizes codebook precoding transmitting strategy with LTE codebook. Furthermore, this paper analyzes the influence of the number of feedback bits and the number of users on user fairness and system sum capacity. Simulation results show that in order to achieve better user fairness, we can use fewer bits for feedback CSI when the number of user is small, and more feedback bits when the number of users is large.

Resource Allocation for OFDMA-MIMO Relay Systems with Proportional Fairness Constraints

In this paper, we study resource allocation problem in orthogonal frequency division multiple access multiple-input multiple-output (OFDMA-MIMO) relay systems and formulate the optimal instantaneous resource allocation problem including subcarrier assignment, relay selection and power allocation to maximize system capacity. Based on the assumption that the availability of perfect channel state information (CSI) is known at the resource allocation controller, we propose a new resource allocation algorithm which can guarantee proportional fairness among users. In the proposed algorithm, a two-step suboptimal method is taken into account. Firstly, we assume equal power allocation for each user to linearize the problem and propose the subcarrier assignment and relay selection scheme based on equivalent channel gain. Secondly, we derive the closed-form expressions for power allocation through relaxing the proportional fairness constraints. Numerical simulations show that the proposed algorithm performs well in terms of satisfying proportional fairness among users in strict sense and achieving improvement on system total capacity.

FMAC: Fair Mac Protocol for Achieving Proportional Fairness in Multi-Rate WSNs

In a multi-rate wireless environment, slow nodes occupy the channel for longer time than fast nodes and thus the total throughput of the network will be reduced. In this research, we study the problem of fairness in multi-rate wireless sensor networks. To improve the fairness, we propose a new protocol, FMAC (Fair MAC protocol) that is based on IEEE 802.11 MAC protocol to achieve proportional fairness between all nodes. FMAC protocol includes medium delay periods within Backoff algorithm to utilize the idle slots of time and reduce the number of collisions and then number of retransmissions, and thus reducing the energy consumption, which is very critical in wireless sensor networks. The experimental results show that transmissions become faster with less collisions and power consumption when applying FMAC, while the aggregated throughput and proportional fairness are increased. The detailed performance evaluation and comparisons are provided using the simulation.

Fairness Aware Rate Adaptation and Proportional Scheduling for IEEE 802.11 WLANs Using FSE

With its rapid development in the wireless markets, IEEE 802.11 WLAN is experiencing a huge popularity. However, due to the limitation of frequency bandwidth of WLANs, it is essential that the available radio resource should be fully utilized to offer different services to multiple users. In order to maximize system throughput while still guaranteeing the fairness among users, a proportional fairness based algorithm is proposed in this work. Since most of the previous resource allocation algorithms were simply based on the channel conditions without taking into account user's demand, in this paper, we introduce the theory of fuzzy synthetic evaluation(FSE) which also allows us to consider user's demand as an important factor. As such, the fairness among users can be improved based on different users' requirements for services. In addition, a channel state information based rate adaptation scheme is also proposed. Through simulation studies, the results clearly validate that our proposed scheme shows advantages on providing user fairness while still improving the system throughput.

PFWRR：能实现比例公平的增强型WRR

为了实现比例公平原则,在加权轮循调度(WRR)算法的基础上提出了比例公平WRR调度算法——PFWRR.PFWRR依据各队列的平均分组到达率,调整各队列的调度权值,从而在当队列长度小于等于缓冲长度时,保证各队列的平均分组排队时延符合给定比例;当队列长度大于缓冲时,保证各队列的平均分组丢失率符合给定比例.PFWRR的计算负荷是合理的,因为它仅当系统超载且平均分组到达率发生变化时,才调整各队列的服务率.实测性能显示:当系统超载且不出现分组丢失时,PFWRR实现了比例平均分组排队时延保证,当系统出现分组丢失时,PFWRR实现了比例平均分组丢失率保证.

QoE-Aware Proportional Fair Scheduling for Multiuser Multiservice Wireless Networks

The effective radio resource allocation al-gorithms, which satisfy diversiform requirements of mobile naltimedia services in wireless cellular net-works, have recently attracted more and more at-tention. This paper proposes a service-aware scheduling algorithm, in which the Mean Opinion Score （MOS） is chosen as the unified metric of the Quality of Experience （QoE）. As the network needs to provide satisfactory services to all the users, the fairness of QoE should be considered. The Propor- tional Fair （PF） principle is adopted to achieve the trade-off between the network perfonmnce and us- er fairness. Then, an integer progranming problem is formed and the QoE-aware PF scheduling princi-ple is derived by solving the relaxed problem. Simu-lation results show that the proposed scheduling principle can perform better in terms of user fair-ness than the previous principle maximizing the sum of MOS. It also outperfoms the max-rain scheduling principle in terms of average MOS.

A New Fairness-Oriented Packet Scheduling Scheme with Reduced Channel Feedback for OFDMA Packet Radio Systems

In this paper, we propose a flexible and fairness-oriented packet scheduling approach for 3GPP UTRAN long term evolution (LTE) type packet radio systems, building on the ordinary proportional fair (PF) scheduling principle and channel quality indicator (CQI) feedback. Special emphasis is also put on practical feedback reporting mechanisms, including the effects of mobile measurement and estimation errors, reporting delays, and CQI quantization and compression. The performance of the overall scheduling and feedback re-porting process is investigated in details, in terms of cell throughput, coverage and resource allocation fairness, by using extensive quasistatic cellular system simulations in practical OFDMA system environment with frequency reuse of 1. The performance simulations show that by using the proposed modified PF ap-proach, significant coverage improvements in the order of 50% can be obtained at the expense of only 10-15% throughput loss, for all reduced feedback reporting schemes. This reflects highly improved fairness in the radio resource management (RRM) compared to other existing schedulers, without essentially com-promising the cell capacity. Furthermore, we demonstrate the improved functionality increase in radio re-source management for UE’s utilizing multi-antenna diversity receivers.

DISTRIBUTED PROPORTIONAL FAIR FREQUENCY ALLOCATION ACROSS MULTIPLE BASE STATIONS

The problem of distributed proportional fair inter-cell frequency allocation for flat-structured cellular systems is studied in this paper. We firstly propose a framework of the frequency allocation in which the whole frequency allocation process is decomposed into many consecutive stages, then identify that for each stage the key is to find the Maximum Weight Independent Set (MWIS) in a given weighted conflict graph in the distributed manner. A new distributed algorithm for MWIS is described in which each node iteratively exchanges messages with neighbors. With this distributed MWIS algorithm, a new distributed proportional fair frequency allocation scheme is presented. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested in computer experiments simulating the Long Term Evolution (LTE) cellular systems. Simulation results show the performance of the proposed distributed proportional fair frequency allocation scheme is comparable with the centralized ones.
