Abstract
Adapting user selection, power allocation and rate allocation, cross layer centralized scheduling can achieve a tremendous gain due to multiuser selection diversity in wireless networks. Yet, conventional cross layer designs all require channel state information at transmitters (CSIT), which is difficult to obtain in practice. In this paper, a closed loop cross layer design with no CSIT in a block fading frequency selective environment is proposed as an extension of flat fading case in (Ka Ming Ho, 2006). The solution to optimal power, rate allocation and user selection involves stochastic programming and thus has high complexity, especially when the channel is highly frequency selective. Instead, we would like to focus on two suboptimal algorithms, namely CP-TX and OP-TX, which are based on ACK/NAK feedbacks from selected mobiles. In practical situations, OP-TX can achieve more than 67 % of the goodput of the optimal algorithm.
