In this paper, we investigate the problem of achieving proportional fairness in hierarchical wireless sensor networks. Combining clustering formulation and scheduling, we maximize total bandwidth utility for proportional fairness while controlling the power consumption to a minimum value. This problem is decomposed into two sub-problems and solved in two stages, which are Clustering Formulation Stage and Scheduling Stage, respectively. The above algorithm, called CSPF_PC, runs in a network formulation sequence. In the Clustering Formulation Stage, we let the sensor nodes join to the cluster head nodes by adjusting transmit power in a greedy strategy; in the Scheduling Stage, the proportional fairness is achieved by scheduling the time-slot resource. Simulation results verify the superior performance of our algorithm over the compared algorithms on fairness index.

본 논문에서는 OFDMA 무선 이동 통신시스템에서 시스템의 수율을 최대화 하면서 비실시간 트래픽 사용자들에게 비례적인 공정성을 제공하기에 적합한 새로운 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안 하였다. 새로이 제안된 알고리즘은 3GPP2에 적용된 비례공정 (Proportional Fairness) 스케줄링과 채널이득 값들에 대한 소팅 (Sorting) 개념을 응용하여 제안하였다. 비례공정 스케줄링은 OFDMA에서 각 사용자들에게 할당될 부반송파 개수를 계산하는데 응용하였으며, 소팅기법은 계산된 부반송파를 실제 사용자들에게 할당하는데 있어 시스템의 수율을 최대화 하는데 기여하였다. 모의실험을 통해 본 논문에 의해 새로이 제안된 알고리즘이 최대전송선택 알고리즘과 소팅을 하지 않은 경우에 비해 공정성 및 시스템 수율에서 특성이 향상됨을 알 수 있었으며, 또한 제안된 소팅 기법은 기존 사용자간 부반송파의 스와핑을 이용한 반복 순환기법과 비교 시 시스템 평균 수율은 거의 같으나 계산에 따른 부하가 최대 3배까지 개선됨을 알 수 있다.

In this paper, the resource allocation problem with proportional fairness rate in cognitive OFDM-based wireless network is studied. It aims to maximize the total system throughput subject to constraints that include total transmit power for secondary users, maximum tolerable interferences of primary users, bit error rate, and proportional fairness rate among secondary users. It is a nonlinear optimization problem, for which obtaining the optimal solution is known to be NP-hard. An efficient bio-inspired suboptimal algorithm called immune clonal optimization is proposed to solve the resource allocation problem in two steps. That is, subcarriers are firstly allocated to secondary users assuming equal power assignment and then the power allocation is performed with an improved immune clonal algorithm. Suitable immune operators such as matrix encoding and adaptive mutation are designed for resource allocation problem. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm achieves near-optimal throughput and more satisfying proportional fairness rate among secondary users with lower computational complexity.

라운드 로빈 기반 비례지분 스케줄링(Round Robin based Proportional Share scheduling, RRPS)은 각 태스크에게 지분(share)을 결정하는 비중(weight)이라는 속성을 정의하고 각 태스크의 비중에 비례하여 CPU 자원을 할당한다. 라운드 로빈 기반 비례지분 스케줄링은 공평성(fairness)을 성능의 척도로 사용하며 스케줄링의 높은 공평성을 목표로 한다. 그러나 태스크를 간의 동기화로 인한 스케줄링의 공평성 문제에 대한 연구는 부족하다. 본 논문에서는 라운드 로빈 기반 비례지분 스케줄링에서 동기화로 인한 스케줄링의 지연이 높은 불공평성을 발생시킴을 보인다. 이를 비중역전(weight inversion)이라는 현상으로 설명한다. 다음, 비중역전을 방지하는 동기화 기법인 비중상속 프로토콜(weight inheritance protocol, WIP)을 제안한다. 또한, 공평성분석과 시뮬레이션을 통해 비중상속 프로토콜이 불공평성을 감소시킴을 보인다.

Opportunistic scheduling provides the capability of resource management in wireless networks by taking advantage of multiuser diversity and by allowing delay variation in delivering data packets. It generally aims to maximize system throughput or guarantee fairness and quality of service (QoS) requirements. In this paper, we develop an extended proportional fair (PF) scheduling policy that can statistically guarantee three kinds of QoS. The scheduling policy is derived by solving the optimization problems in an ideal system according to QoS constraints. We prove that the practical version of the scheduling policy is optimal in opportunistic scheduling systems. As each scheduling policy has some parameters, we also consider practical parameter adaptation algorithms that require low implementation complexity and show their convergences mathematically. Through simulations, we confirm that our proposed schedulers show good fairness performance in addition to guaranteeing each user's QoS requirements.

An optimal power control algorithm based on convex optimization is proposed for base stations in long term evolution networks. An objective function was formulated to maximize the proportional fairness of the networks. The optimal value of the objective function was obtained using convex optimization and distributed methods based on the path loss model between the base station and users. Field tests on live networks were conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. The experimental results verified that, in a multi-cell multi-user scenario, the proposed algorithm increases system throughputs, proportional fairness, and energy efficiency by 9, 1.31 and 20.2 %, respectively, compared to the conventional fixed power allocation method.

In this paper, we consider resource allocation with proportional fairness in the downlink orthogonal frequency division multiple access relay networks, in which relay nodes operate in decode-and-forward mode. A joint optimization problem is formulated for relay selection, subcarrier assignment and power allocation. Since the formulated primal problem is nondeterministic polynomial time-complete, we make continuous relaxation and solve the dual problem by Lagrangian dual decomposition method. A near-optimal solution is obtained using Karush-Kuhn-Tucker conditions. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm provides superior system throughput and much better fairness among users comparing with a heuristic algorithm.

This paper addresses the resource allocation (RA) problem in multi-cell cognitive radio networks. Besides the interference power threshold to limit the interference on primary users PUs caused by cognitive users CUs, a proportional fairness constraint is used to guarantee fairness among multiple cognitive cells and the impact of imperfect spectrum sensing is taken into account. Additional constraints in typical real communication scenarios are also considered-such as a transmission power constraint of the cognitive base stations, unique subcarrier allocation to at most one CU, and others. The resulting RA problem belongs to the class of NP-hard problems. A computationally efficient optimal algorithm cannot therefore be found. Consequently, we propose a suboptimal RA algorithm composed of two modules: a subcarrier allocation module implemented by the immune algorithm, and a power control module using an improved sub-gradient method. To further enhance algorithm performance, these two modules are executed successively, and the sequence is repeated twice. We conduct extensive simulation experiments, which demonstrate that our proposed algorithm outperforms existing algorithms.

In this letter, a heuristic channel allocation and scheduling scheme is proposed. By comparing the size of the alternative-factor assessment, which is obtained by simple calculation, we can easily find the most appropriate channel for each user for overall throughput enhancement. Numerical results show that the downlink throughput of the proposed scheme is higher than that of proportional fairness and is almost the same as that of the maximum C/I scheme, while user fairness remains better than that of the maximum C/I scheme.
