Practical Channel-Aware Resource Allocation

Abstract

This chapter talks about radio resource block (RRB) allocation, an enhancement of the resource allocation presented in the previous chapter. It presents a discrete version of the resource allocation portrayed in the previous chapter and provides low-complexity solution algorithms to assign RRBs to the applications. The methodology leverages Lagrangian relaxation to translate the convex resource allocation into a radio resource block allocation, units leveraged in various technologies such as the Long Term Evolution (LTE) to assign the resources. The chapter proves that the discrete resource allocation presented here leads to optimal resources being assigned to the applications. The chapter also presents simulations that depict how the RRB assignment nicely tracks the continuous assignment of resources while keeping the set of candidate discrete RRBs to a minimum.
