Improved quality-based channel state feedback scheme in multicast systems with greedy scheduling

摘要

This paper proposes an Improved Quality-Based Channel State Feedback (IQCF) scheme in multicast systems with greedy scheduling for multiple multicast groups. The proposed scheme outperforms the Quality-Based Channel State Feedback (QCF) scheme in the literature by selecting a scheduling outage group for data transmission when scheduling outage happens. We also analyze its performance in terms of average capacity and outage probability, and present a closed-form system average capacity expression over Rayleigh fading channels. The numerically evaluated analytical results are verified by simulations.
