A radio aware random iterative scheduling technique for high speed downlink packet access

The overall performance of the high speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) proposal in 3GPP in terms of delay and throughput for various possible radio resource allocation and scheduling algorithms is evaluated using a system level simulator. By exploiting the weaknesses of the conventional wireless scheduling techniques under extreme scenarios, a novel random iterative hybrid scheduling (RIIHS) and radio aware wireless resource allocation technique for HSDPA is introduced. The algorithm has the unique ability of reaching the maximum possible levels of the throughput and fairness and minimum possible level of the delay at the same time.
