{"title":"Resource Allocation for URLLC and eMBB Traffic in Uplink Wireless Networks","authors":"D. Lee, Cheng-Shang Chang, Ruhui Zhang, Mao-Pin Lee","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.4220800","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.4220800","url":null,"abstract":"In this paper we consider two resource allocation problems of URLLC traffic and eMBB traffic in uplink 5G networks. We propose to divide frequencies into a common region and a grant-based region. Frequencies in the grant-based region can only be used by eMBB traffic, while frequencies in the common region can be used by eMBB traffic as well as URLLC traffic. In the first resource allocation problem we propose a two-player game to address the size of the grant-based region and the size of the common region. We show that this game has specific pure Nash equilibria. In the second resource allocation problem we determine the number of packets that each eMBB user can transmit in a request-grant cycle. We propose a constrained optimization problem to minimize the variance of the number of packets granted to the eMBB users. We show that a water-filling algorithm solves this constrained optimization problem. From simulation, we show that our scheme, consisting of resource allocation according to Nash equilibria of a game, persistent random retransmission of URLLC packets and allocation of eMBB packets by a water-filling algorithm, works better than four other heuristic methods.","PeriodicalId":19766,"journal":{"name":"Perform.

However, it performs poorly in heterogeneous systems where servers have different processing rates. Finding a delay optimal scheme remains an open problem for heterogeneous systems. In this paper, we consider a speed-aware version of the JSQ scheme for heterogeneous systems and show that it achieves delay optimality in the fluid limit. One of the key issues in establishing this optimality result for heterogeneous systems is to show that the sequence of steady-state distributions indexed by the system size is tight in an appropriately defined space. The usual technique for showing tightness by coupling with a suitably defined dominant system does not work for heterogeneous systems. To prove tightness, we devise a new technique that uses the drift of exponential Lyapunov functions. Using the non-negativity of the drift, we show that the stationary queue length distribution has an exponentially decaying tail - a fact we use to prove tightness. Another technical difficulty arises due to the complexity of the underlying state-space and the separation of two time-scales in the fluid limit. Due to these factors, the fluid-limit turns out to be a function of the invariant distribution of a multi-dimensional Markov chain which is hard to characterise. By using some properties of this invariant distribution and using the monotonicity of the system, we show that the fluid limit is has a unique and globally attractive fixed point.","PeriodicalId":19766,"journal":{"name":"Perform.
