“…On the other hand, proportional fairness (PF) algorithm balances between spectral efficiency and fairness among users and makes use of users' channel condition for resource allocation (Choi and Bhak, 2007). Modified largest weighted delay first (MLWDF) algorithm, exponential (EXP) rule and logarithmic (LOG) rule algorithms use delay value as a weighting parameter for scheduling (Ramli et al, 2009;Rhee et al, 2003;Sadiq et al, 2011;Seyed et al, 2013;Stolyar and Ramanan, 2001;Wei and Tang, 2013;Xian et al, 2011). A cross layer design approach is presented in Ioannis and Stavros (2013), which makes use of both users' queue states and channel states for the allocation of resources.…”
