Abstract:
1. A method comprising steps: determining an optimal network utilization maximization in a communication system with wireless links in which current and coarse channel state information CSI is available from all users, along with a limited amount of fine CSI by way of a frame based scheduling and feedback under which a virtual queue is associated with each user with virtual rates being determined at start of each frame and policy of each frame being determined by solving a decision process, said determining comprising: wherein the system state at any interval consists of coarse channel estimates reported by all users for that interval, the system state includes for each possible pair of users, the fine and coarse channel estimates from both users in that pair for the recent-most prior interval on which that user pair was scheduled and the index of that interval and wherein the above steps are carried out by computer processing.
