| Abstract | This paper explores the potential gain of joint diversity in both frequency domain and time domain which can be exploited to achieve spectral efficiency gains whilst simultaneously facilitating QoS/fairness in an OFDMA system (particularly in 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE)). The performance of everal joint time-frequency schedulers is investigated. Simulation results show that joint time frequency schedulers achieve significantly superior performance compared to a more conventional time domain (only) proportional fair scheduler. The joint schemes show promising throughput gain while meeting stringent fairness criteria. |
