Power Optimal Opportunistic Scheduling

Abstract— In this paper, we propose a power optimal opportunistic scheduling scheme for a multiuser single hop Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) system. We formulate the problem of minimizing average transmission power with different minimum rate constraints for individual users. We suggest a stochastic approximation based scheme to implement the policy and argue the convergence of this algorithm. Finally, we extend the power optimal scheduling algorithm for providing temporal fairness among users.
