To this day, traffic in cellular networks is still mainly real-time. However, with the deployment
of new technologies, such as HDR (High Date Rate) and HSDPA (High Speed Downlink …

Until recently, wireless networks had been struggling against fading effects. However, 3G
wireless networks have learned to profit from radio channel variations to augment their …

For wireless forward link data services, the proportional fair algorithm (PFA) incorporating
opportunistic scheduling was originally designed to maintain service fairness among users …

A new cross-layer proportional fair scheduling algorithm suited for delay tolerant traffic in
both saturated and non-saturated regimes is presented. Unlike the classical proportional fair …

In practical communication systems, there are always multiple subscribers competing for
limited resources, such as time and frequency, hence effective user scheduling is essential …

Proportional fair scheduling (PFS) has been adopted as a standard solution for fair resource
allocation in modern wireless cellular networks. With the emergence of heterogeneous …

The proportional fair scheduling (PFS) algorithm is implemented in current 3G wireless
networks for high data rate delay-tolerant services. Though the algorithm has low …

The fairness concept has been widely studied in the area of data networks. The most well-
known fairness criterion, max-min fairness, gives priority to the minimum rate session. Kelly …

Round opportunistic fair (ROF) scheduling is a heuristic algorithm that has been proposed in
[1] for improving fairness in wireless downlink scheduling. ROF represents a trade-off …

In this paper, we propose a unified framework for opportunistic fair scheduling in wireless
systems. We consider a TDMA type of multiple access scheme, in which only one user can …
