Abstract

Embodiments of a method in a network node for resource allocation are disclosed. The method includes selecting a user set of wireless devices from available predefined user sets; estimating expected data rates for the wireless devices in the selected user set for a selected radio resource; computing a weighted sum of the expected rates of the wireless devices in the user set; and assigning a given the selected radio resource to the user set with the highest weighted sum. A criterion for dynamic resource allocation that can opportunistically exploit the channel variations towards achieving the optimal trade-off between the network capacity and wireless device-fairness is also disclosed.
