Flow-Satisfaction-Degree Based Scheduling Algorithm in Static Reuse Partitioning System

Reuse partitioning (RP), a promising technique for constructing high efficient multi-cell OFDM systems, has brought a lot of attentions from both industry and academia. In this paper, by considering the characteristics of various service flows, we first introduce a new performance metric, called flow-satisfaction-degree (FSD), and then formulate an optimization problem for maximizing the FSD over the whole system. We then propose a FSD-based scheduling (FSDS) algorithm for the static RP system. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm greatly outperforms the traditional static allocation scheme in terms of FSD and system throughput for the fully loaded system.
