Abstract
A resource scheduling and power allocation technique is provided for a LTE radio network integrated with femtocells. The technique utilizes a tri-phase approach that includes a stochastic geometric model of an exemplary radio network that generates a channel attenuation matrix for each channel at each PRB. A resource scheduling and power allocation procedure determines a near optimal assignment of mobile user to PRBs based on the channel attenuations, potential data rates, and transmit power subject to maximizing the data rates in accordance with a fairness objective. A discrete-event simulation procedure simulates the end-to-end transmission of the data packets in a packet-switch network in accordance with the assignments to analyze the behavior of the overall network.
