Abstract

This letter proposes a quality-of-service (QoS) constrained opportunistic scheduling for a single-carrier frequency division multiple access (SC-FDMA) scheme. The SC-FDMA scheme considered in this letter employs an iterative multiuser detection using frequency-domain equalization (IMDFDE), which allows several users to share a common set of subcarriers. In order to improve spectral efficiency and guarantee QoS of assigned users, the proposed method chooses users by iteratively performing user selection. At each user selection for a set of subcarriers, the scheduler takes into account multiuser interference from previously assigned users of corresponding subcarriers and QoS constraint. Simulation results show that the proposed method provides higher spectral efficiency compared with round-robin and max-SNR.
