Energy-efficient communications have become one fundamental aspect for today's cutting-edge wireless technologies due to its valuable impact on the environment. In this paper, we augment our earlier study for the user equipment's (UE) energy efficiency (EE) in the long-term evolution (LTE) downlink by looking at real-time heterogeneous traffic QoS requirements. In particular, we utilize the previously proposed cloud radio access network (C-RAN) and ray tracing (RT)-based scheduling model to optimize both of the EE and the packet delay jitter for real-time applications with fixed packet delay budget subject to other traffic types requirements. Using the utility-based scheduling approach, we formulate the resource allocation problem as a weighted sum binary integer programming (BIP) problem. Due to the inherent complexity of the problem formulation which hinders finding its solution directly, four heuristic …
