Cellular Communications Systems in Congested Environments
Resource Allocation and End-to-End Quality of Service Solutions with MATLAB

Authors: Mo Ghorbanzadeh, Ahmed Abdelhadi, Charles Clancy



Provides thorough mathematical analysis of resource allocation mechanism in cellular systems

Presents an analysis of the transmission overhead and sensitivity of resource allocation mechanisms to temporal changes in the system

Includes mathematical analysis of resource allocation in congested and contested environments

This book presents a mathematical treatment of the radio resource allocation of modern cellular communications systems in contested environments. It focuses on fulfilling the quality of service requirements of the living applications on the user devices, which leverage the cellular system, and with attention to elevating the users’ quality of experience. The authors also address the congestion of the spectrum by allowing sharing with the band incumbents while providing with a quality-of-service-minded resource allocation in the network. The content is of particular interest to telecommunications scheduler experts in industry, communications applications academia, and graduate students whose paramount research deals with resource allocation and quality of service.
