Stochastic Control Problems in Mobile Communications

Abstract

The program covered a great variety of problems. Consider the allocation of the base station transmitter in time varying mobile communications with many (data) users. The channel rates for the various users are estimated at the start of the small scheduling intervals. Since the rates vary randomly, there is a conflict between full use (by selecting the user with the highest current rate) and fairness. The Proportional Fair scheduler is designed to deal with such conflicts. Convergence and optimality properties were shown, and the algorithm extended to cover a much greater variety of circumstances.
