A radio resource allocation technique using requirements for video transmission

Abstract

Various applications have been realized by wireless communications. However, evaluation metrics of wireless communications have not aligned with the requirements for individual applications. This causes a problem that increasing the capacity of wireless communication systems does not directly bring to the realization of applications. To solve the problem, this paper proposes Application Proportional Fairness (APF), which is a radio resource allocation technique using requirements for video transmission. APF improves video throughput that considers the requirements for video transmission. Computer simulation shows APF improves the video throughput compared with Proportional Fairness, which is a conventional resource allocation technique.
