for each user, … The design objective is to maximize the system ESR by jointly optimizing the …

… to maximize the minimum rate among the users. The obtained results demonstrate better
performance than the former algorithm in terms of fairness, at the cost of a lowered sum rate. …

… designs for max-min fairness and sum-rate maximization performance. Section V shows …
criterions: maxmin fairness and maximization. We examine two scenarios of user’s positions …

… Note that the sum rate and the FI are conflicting to each other, especially for users whose
channel strengths are significantly different. Our goal is to maximize both the sum rate and the …

… The fair resource allocation methods proposed in [18] and [19] achieve the per-user fairness
but sacrifice the efficiency of the user nodes with better channels. In order to make up this …

… , and relaying user scheduling with the objective of maximizing the minimum rate among
users subject to a transmit power constraint at the base station. As the user scheduling problem …

… whether it needs to maximize the sum rate or the fairness among users, or to … fairness index
(FI) has been used to measure the fairness between users in terms of their achievable rates …

… : Given a total of K users with sum power PT and that N … the users), how do we achieve the

… is satisfied, we move on to the second wave of power allocation and distribute the
remaining power (1 − c)P to all users; only this time we aim to maximize the overall sum rate. …
