Radio agent realizing user utility-based resource allocation in wireless spot access

Abstract

The paper proposes a new radio resource allocation based on the user utility for a spot access system. The radio agent allocates the wireless transmission mode and time slots for each access user according to the user utility and the channel CNR (carrier-to-noise power ratio). The proposed scheme can improve the service quality quantified by the user utility. We evaluate the latency performance and the user utility performance of the proposed scheme by computer simulations. The results show the suitability of the proposed scheme.
