Abstract

LTE (Long Term Evolution) supports QoS (Quality of Service) with several service classes. For each class of traffic, a big difference exists on BER (Bit Error Rate) requirement. This leads to a considerable difference in transmission power for various classes of traffic. In this paper, a novel scheduler is designed and proposed for LTE which supports CoS (Class of Service) with the consideration of priority as well as target BER. By the CQI (Channel Quality Indicator) and QCI (QoS Class Identifier), a minimum transmission power is assigned from the target BER for each class of traffic per each user. Hence, with the other information such as user's used rate in the past and the priority of traffic, the probability of occupying channels is determined. The simulation results of Service Class scheduling are compared with that of Maximum Rate and Proportional Fair. The results show that the service class-aided scheduling can improve the throughput of whole system significantly.

LTE는 다양한 서비스 클래스를 가지고 QoS를 지원한다. 각각의 트래픽 클래스에 대해 BER 요구사항이 크게 다르다. 이는 다양한 클래스의 트래픽에 대해 전송 전력이 상이함을 의미한다. 본 논문에서는 우선순위와 목표 BER을 고려하여 서비스 클래스를 지원하는 새로운 LTE를 위한 스케줄러를 제안한다. CQI와 QCI에 의해 각 사용자당 크래픽 클래스에 대한 목표 BER로 부터 최소 전송 전력이 할당된다. 따라서 사용자의 과거 사용 전송율과 트래픽의 우선순위와 같은 다른 정보를 이용하여 점유 채널의 확률이 결정된다. 서비스 클래스 스케줄링의 시뮬레이션 결과는 최대전송율 및 비례균일과 비교될 것이다. 실험결과는 서비스 클래스 기반의 스케줄링이 전체 시스템 수율을 개선할 수 있음을 보여주고 있다.
