Shahsavari, S.Akar, N.2016-02-082016-02-0820152162-2337http://hdl.handle.net/11693/21802We propose a two-level scheduler for a frequency reuse-1 multi-cell wireless network satisfying inter-and intra-cell weighted temporal fairness constraints. As opposed to hard partitioning of the entire frequency band to different cell patterns in frequency reuse-M systems (M>1), we propose sharing this band opportunistically in time by these patterns. Through numerical examples, we show notable gains in overall network throughput due to improved multi-user diversity in comparison with a conventional frequency reuse-3 system. © 2012 IEEE.EnglishMulti-cell schedulingTemporal fairnessCytologyFrequency bandsSchedulingTime sharing systemsWireless networksCell patternsFairness constraintsFrequency re-useM-SystemsMulticellMultiuser diversityOverall networksCellsArticle10.1109/LWC.2015.2406752
