RADIO RESOURCE MANAGEMENT IN METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORKS

摘要

A system for allocating resources in a communications network includes a plurality of access points, where each access point in the plurality of access points is in communication with one or more user devices. The system also includes a central controller in communication with the plurality of access points. The central controller is configured to receive traffic information and channel information for access point—user device links in the communications network. The central controller is also configured to receive an intensity of independent homogeneous Poisson traffic intended for the one or more user devices. The central controller is further configured to determine a joint resource allocation based at least in part on the received traffic and channel information and the intensity of independent homogeneous Poisson traffic, where the joint resource allocation is determined with an algorithm.
