An Intelligent Priority Resource Allocation Scheme for LTE-A Downlink Systems

Abstract

In this paper, we propose an intelligent priority resource allocation (iPRA) scheme for long term evolution-advanced (LTE-A) downlink systems with multimedia traffic. The iPRA scheme intelligently computes priorities for users by using fuzzy inference system so as to enhance system throughput and attain high Jain fairness index while guarantee QoS requirements. Simulation results show that the iPRA scheme can achieve higher system throughput and better QoS requirement guarantee than conventional radio resource allocation schemes in high traffic load, while attains a rather large Jain fairness index.
