Abstract

Due to the requisite of multi-channel communications for high-speed data transmissions, power allocation for opportunistically exploiting fading wireless channels, and packet scheduling for quality-of-service provisioning, joint power-frequency-time resource allocation is indispensable. In this paper, we propose a low-complexity intra-cluster resource allocation algorithm, taking power allocation, subcarrier allocation, and packet scheduling into consideration. Numerical results demonstrate that our algorithm is close to optimal, and that our optimality-driven resource allocation algorithm outperforms a greedy algorithm, achieving higher resource utilization and better performance compromise among throughput, packet dropping rate, and packet delay.
