Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to reduce the complexity of scheduling scheme for OFDMA/SDMA system with multimedia traffic. To achieve this purpose, we propose a low-complexity beamforming-based scheduling (LCBS) scheme to solve the multi-dimensional (space, time, and frequency) radio resource allocation problem in OFDMA/SDMA systems. By utilizing a semi-orthogonal user selection (SUS) algorithm, the LCBS scheme has a good trade-off between the implementation complexity and system performance in throughput, QoS guarantee (for all traffics), and fairness guarantee (for non-real-time and best effort traffics). Simulation results show that the LCBS scheme can efficiently improve the fairness performance compared to most existing algorithms.
