Interference-Aware Offloading of Deadline-Constrained Traffic in High Density Cellular Systems

We consider one non-real-time (NRT) and N realtime (RT) cellular users interested in downloading delay-tolerant and delay-sensitive packets from the base station (BS), respectively. Each RT packet is a multicast packet and RT user i is satisfied if more than q i % of the data is received before the deadline. At each slot, one of the RT users is allowed to retransmit the data it has received from the BS to its RT neighbors. This reduces the load...
