Abstract

Throughput and fairness are conflicting performance metrics, leading to a natural tradeoff between these two measures. In this paper, we derive a generic optimization framework to obtain a relationship of system throughput and fairness, by introducing the bargaining floor. From the relationship curve, different degrees of performance tradeoff between throughput and fairness can be obtained by choosing different bargaining floors. The solutions of resource allocation obtained from the optimization framework achieve the Pareto Optimality, demonstrating efficient use of network resources.

An optimization framework for balancing throughput and fairness in wireless networks with QoS support

Quality-of-service (QoS) provisioning, high system throughput, and fairness assurance are indispensable for heterogeneous traffic in future wireless broadband networks. With limited radio resources, increasing system throughput and maintaining fairness ...
Throughput-fairness optimization in energy-limited user-relay wireless networks

Throughput and fairness are conflicting objectives in many networking scenarios. To address this issue, relays have been considered/used to improve the overall throughput without sacrificing fairness. However, we observe that in a relay-based wireless ...
