We use Jain's index to quantify the fairness in the allocation of rates to multiple users [28].
The allocation of rating power and capacity are different in each stage owing to the difference of PV increment in each stage of the pattern B and pattern C. The proportions of the rating power and capacity in each stage are approximately identical under the same PV growth pattern.
Recently, the impact of channel state information (CSI) and power allocation on rates of transmission over fading relay channels are studied in [14] by Ng and Goldsmith.
The extreme points of the Slepian-Wolf rate region are interpreted in terms of robustness to certain kinds of network failures, and allocations of rates to users that are "fair" or "tolerable" are also discussed.
It first identifies the bottleneck links, then assigns a new channel, or adjusts existing channel assignment to resolve congestion, and prior to entering the next iteration, optimal allocation of link rate to contending flows that share this link is computed by solving an LP problem.
Thus, we consider utility-based resource allocation instead of rate-based resource allocation in this paper.
VNO BG does not have a maximum guaranteed data rate or high boundary for allocation of data rates.
Research efforts in DSM have mainly focused on DSM designs involving purely data rate driven objectives [4 9, 12], to achieve some Pareto-optimal allocation of data rates subject to power constraints (3) and (4).
A typical design objective [4 9, 12], is to optimize the transmit powers so as to achieve some Pareto-optimal allocation of data rates R n, n ∈ N, somewhere on the boundary of the achievable rate region.
The inclusion of fairness thus results in a fairer allocation of data rates and/or transmit powers, but the price of adding fairness is a reduced data rate sum performance compared to Greening 4A, as can be seen in Figure 8a.
