PACKET SCHEDULING IN LTE NETWORKS

Task of the packet scheduling algorithm

– On a TTI timescale, assign cell’s radio resources to active sessions – Resource granularity in time domain

1 TTI = 1 ms

– Resource granularity in frequency domain

1 ‘subchannel’ = 180 kHz

REFERENCE PACKET SCHEDULING ALGORITHM

Supports RT and NRT sessions

– With a tuneable degree of session-based differentiation – (As opposed to class-based differentiation)

Comprises three key principles

– Proportional fairness → Tuneable channel-adaptivity: efficiency vs fairness – Packet urgency

→ RT packets are characterised by limited delay budgets

– Work-conserving

→ Aim to utilise all resources

Sensitivity w.r.t. variability of avg signal strengths between sessions

low = dense hot spot, no shadowing medium = reference scenario high = uniform spatial user distribution, σshadowing = 14 dB Under very low variability, fairness is established even with a pure channel-aware scheduler. The higher the variability, a high α is needed to lift up the cell edge sessions.

CONCLUDING REMARKS

Summary sensitivity analysis in data only scenarios

– α = 0.01 is the optimal parameter setting in most scenarios, except when

– the average file size is very large (α 0 optimal) – the coefficient of variation of file size is very high (α 1 optimal) – the differences in average signal strengths are large (α 1 optimal)

– Comparison with a self-optimised scheduling algorithm

– Assume that a SON function perfectly recognises the situation and

always chooses the correspondingly optimal scheduling parameter

– The gain of self-optimisation in the studied scenarios is not very large,

  • viz. 3.3% on average over the considered scenarios and 16.6% maximum

– Considering that a SON implementation is imperfect and the scenarios with the

highest observed gains are not very likely, we conclude that the potential for self-

  • ptimisation is not very significant

Sensitivity analysis for video/data scenarios

– Refer to the paper for the detailed results and discussion – Although the potential for self-optimisation is somewhat larger, it is still not

  • verly significant

CONCLUDING REMARKS

Some open issues

– Impact of integration of ICIC and PS on the sensitivity analysis – Possibility of other reference packet schedulers

– Less intelligent packet schedulers have more SON potential – Note that the presented reference packet scheduler already inherently

possesses some adaptivivity properties

– Fairness aim, regardless of individual channel qualities – Automatic shift of resources to RT traffic if RT load increases – Automatic response to congestion – …

– Consideration of the LTE uplink – Integration of SON in the heart of the packet scheduler (at the ms timescale),

as an alternative to the addition of a slowly adaptive SON layer atop the PS layer

– Respond to instantaneous (n) rather than average (λ) load – Respond to instantaneous (nRT:nNRT) rather than average (λRT:λNRT) service mix – …
