QoE-Aware Proportional Fair Scheduling for Multiuser Multiservice Wireless Networks

The effective radio resource allocation algorithms, which satisfy diversiform requirements of mobile multimedia services in wireless cellular networks, have recently attracted more and more attention. This paper proposes a service-aware scheduling algorithm, in which the Mean Opinion Score (MOS) is chosen as the unified metric of the Quality of Experience (QoE). As the network needs to provide satisfactory services to all the users, the fairness of QoE should be considered. The Proportional Fair (PF) principle is adopted to achieve the trade-off between the network performance and user fairness. Then, an integer programming problem is formed and the QoE-aware PF scheduling principle is derived by solving the relaxed problem. Simulation results show that the proposed scheduling principle can perform better in terms of user fairness than the previous principle maximizing the sum of MOS. It also outperforms the max-min scheduling principle in terms of average MOS.
