Uplink scheduling method using one bit per user feedback
An uplink scheduling method using one bit per user feedback includes: receiving one-bit feedback of the user's channel condition from a plurality of users, the one-bit feedback of the user's channel condition corresponds to a value of the cumulative distribution function of the user's instantaneous achievable rate; selecting a user from the users whose channel condition is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold; and transmitting data at an instantaneous achievable rate of the selected user.
1. An uplink scheduling method using one bit per user feedback, comprising:
receiving one-bit feedback of the user's channel condition from a plurality of users, the one-bit feedback of the user's channel condition corresponds to a value of the cumulative distribution function of the user's instantaneous achievable rate;
selecting a user from the users whose channel condition is equal to or greater than a predetermined threshold, wherein the predetermined threshold is determined by the equation:
γ 0 =K −1/(k-1)
where
γ 0 is the predetermined threshold and K is the number of the plurality of users; and
transmitting data at an instantaneous achievable rate of the selected user.
2. The uplink scheduling method using one bit per user feedback according to claim 1 , wherein the one-bit feedback of the user's channel condition is 1 when the value of the cumulative distribution function of the user's instantaneous achievable rate is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold, and wherein the one-bit feedback of the user's channel condition is 0 when the value of the cumulative distribution function of the user's instantaneous achievable rate is smaller than the predetermined threshold.
3. The uplink scheduling method using one bit per user feedback according to claim 2 , wherein said selecting includes selecting a user from the users whose channel condition has the one-bit feedback of 1.
4. The uplink scheduling method using one bit per user feedback according to claim 1 , further comprising, before said transmitting, selecting a user from the plurality of users if there is no user whose channel condition is equal to or greater than the predetermined threshold.
