Because of the time varying channel fluctuations of wireless links, efficient use of the large available bandwidth cannot be achieved without adopting channel aware packet scheduling strategies. The HSDPA scheduling algorithm is based on splitting the scheduling decision into user selection and resource allocation. In this paper, we propose two user selection algorithms that can be adjusted (or pre-configured) in terms of cell throughput and/or user throughput fairness. Finally, we discuss a channel aware resource allocation algorithm that aims to maximize the number of served users among the selected ones, without any loss of the overall cell throughput with respect to the traditional greedy resource assignment","PeriodicalId":248766,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE 16th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128622956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nevertheless, these methods bring two inevitable drawbacks including, high complexity of handling multiple codes, and increasing the cost of using more rake combiners at both the base stations and mobile nodes. Therefore, we propose an adaptive grouping code assignment herein to provide a single channelization code for any possible rate of traffic, even though the required rate is not powers of two of the basic rate. Based on the dynamic programming algorithm, the adaptive grouping approach forms several calls into a group. Then it allocates a subtree to the group and adaptively shares the subtree codes for these calls in the concept of time-sharing of slots during a group cycle time. Numerical results indicate that the proposed adaptive grouping approach reduces significantly the waste rate and thus increases the system utilization","PeriodicalId":248766,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE 16th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"38 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126900662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The algorithm is optimized for streaming and local recording applications in mobile devices. Today, most mobile phones include a digital camera that can be used to capture video. The on-phone processor technology has become powerful enough to encode video in real-time. The resulting file can, for example, be archived in the phone's memory, or (progressively or as one block) downloaded, through the 3G mobile network, Bluetooth, or WLAN, to Internet-connected computer systems. From here, all forms of multimedia transmission, such as streaming, file sharing, or multimedia mail become possible. In local recording and streaming applications on a mobile phone, we assume that no memory for storage of uncompressed video is available. Therefore, look-ahead and multi-path rate control is not possible. Furthermore, considering the processing power and, more importantly, battery life constraints in mobile devices, the proposed algorithm needs to be as simple as possible. The described algorithm implements a variable bitrate (VBR) by controlling the quantization scale (QS) on a per picture basis. The QS is calculated based on two other QSs, which correspond to constant rate and constant quality rate controls. The algorithm utilizes the variable bitrate benefits as much as possible so as to minimize the variation of the QS scale, and to provide encoded video with high visual quality. Although it strictly obeys buffering constraints as discussed later, the experimental results show that it allows encoded video at average quality levels significantly higher than reported in earlier works","PeriodicalId":248766,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE 16th International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications","volume":"125 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123661620","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper describes differential modulation schemes, which do not require any radio channel estimation, and two related incoherent and quasi-coherent demodulation techniques.

Optimum descriptions are given by sets of efficient outage probability tuples. We first derive a closed-form expression for a user's outage probability in the presence of multi-user interference. Next, the set of efficient outage probability tuples under a simplified SDMA transmit strategy is derived. We show how a good approximate description of the efficient set is found by equidistant sampling.
