Scheduling algorithms for downlink rate allocation in heterogeneous CDMA networks

A Combinatorial Approximation Algorithm for Cdma Downlink Rate Allocation

This paper presents a combinatorial algorithm for downlink rate allocation in Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile networks. By discretizing the coverage area into small segments, the transmit power requirements are characterized via a matrix representation that separates user and system characteristics. We obtain a closed-form analytical expression for the so-called Perron-Frobenius eig...

Downlink soft handover and power allocation for CDMA heterogeneous cellular networks

Abstmct Handover in heterogeneous cellular networks is one of the hottest topics for the wireless networks beyond the third generation. This paper presents a new downlink soft handover algorithm to solve the serious “power exhausting” problem during the traditional handover process in heterogeneous cellular systems. The power exhausting problem occurs when in the traditional handover process, t...

Downlink Power Allocation for Multi-class CDMA Wireless Networks

In this paper we consider the downlink power allocation problem for multi-class CDMA wireless networks. We use a utility based power allocation framework to treat multi-class services in a unified way. The goal of this paper is to obtain a power allocation which maximizes the total system utility. In the wireless context, natural utility functions for each mobile are non-concave. Hence, we cann...

downlink radio resource allocation in cellular cdma/tdma networks: a novel heuristic algorithm

it is shown in [1] that the optimal downlink radio resource allocation for non-realtime traffic in cellular cdma/tdma networks can be mapped to a multi-dimensional multiple-choice knapsack problem (mmkp) which is np-hard. in this correspondence we propose a heuristic algorithm with polynomial time complexity for this problem. numerical results indicate significant computational performance impr...
