Alocação de Recursos Adaptativa para Maximização da Satisfação dos Usuários em Redes Celulares

This article proposes an adaptive radio resource allocation algorithm for the downlink of wireless communication systems that offer multiple services. The proposed algorithm is based on utility theory and aims to maximize the user satisfaction of all services in the system simultaneously while protecting the satisfaction of a given service with higher priority. The algorithm is scalable to several service classes and can be applied in the current and future wireless systems. A performance evaluation conducted in realistic 4G LTE scenarios demonstrated that the proposed algorithm provides gains in the system capacity.
