We propose a packet scheduling scheme called OFDMA frame-based proportional fairness (OFPF) for a framebased OFDMA wireless system. OFPF aims to maximize system throughput as well as maintain fairness between users. We define the scheduling resources as slots of fixed duration per OFDMA subchannel. Furthermore, we assume a realistic traffic pattern in which the user queues are not always backlogged. We suggest a simple method to update the average data rate in the PF ratio. In addition, we introduce an uncomplicated approach to schedule user data using matrix-based calculation. The simulation shows that our scheme improves performance in terms of throughput, delay, and fairness.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
