Resource Allocation for Heterogeneous Traffic with Power Consumption Constraints

Abstract

Future wireless networks will be characterized by users with heterogeneous requirements. Such users can require low-latency or minimum-throughput requirements. In addition, due to the limited-power budget of the mobile devices, a power-efficient scheduling scheme is required by the network. In this work, we cast a stochastic network optimization problem for minimizing the packet drop rate while guaranteeing a minimum throughput and taking into account the limited-power capabilities of the users.
