Abstract
With the growing demand for new wireless applications accompanied with high expectations for better QoS fulfillment especially for multimedia and real-time applications, the performance of the radio resource management in a multiuser context is ensured by the ability to provide an efficient and optimized spectrum sharing scheme that should respect the wireless channel conditions and satisfy the different users’ demands. From the physical layer perspective, metrics such as spectrum efficiency and minimum BER are the most important criteria to be considered. On the other hand, from a user perspective, QoS as well as fairness among the competing users are the main metrics because they determine how much end-users are satisfied and how efficient the available resources are shared among the existing users. Based on the use of the linear precoded orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (LP-OFDM) solution proposed as an evolution of the well-known multiband OFDM (MB-OFDM) solution supported by the WiMedia Alliance for future high-rate ultra-wideband (UWB) systems, the objective of this paper is twofold. First, we study a multiuser optimization spectrum sharing scheme for LP-OFDM systems. Second, based on the optimization study, we define a novel multiple-access solution which jointly considers the frequency resource allocation and the time scheduling for the high-rate LP-OFDM UWB systems. Simulation results demonstrate the efficiency of the use of the LP-OFDM transmission technique in the multiuser spectrum sharing scheme. Besides, the novel multiuser time–frequency sharing scheme shows its capacity to provide a high performance level for high-priority users.
