Cross Layer Designs for OFDMA Wireless Systems with Heterogeneous Delay Requirements

This paper investigates a cross layer scheduling scheme for OFDMA wireless system with heterogeneous delay requirements. Unlike most existing cross layer designs which take a decoupling approach, our design considers both queueing theory and information theory in modeling the system dynamics. The cross layer design is formulated as an optimization of total system throughput, subject to individual user's delay constraint and total base station...
