Delay-sensitive cross layer scheduler for multi-user wireless communication systems

Overview

[0024]A simplified overview is provided in the present section to help enable a basic or general understanding of various aspects of exemplary, non-limiting embodiments that follow in the more detailed description and the accompanying drawings. This overview section is not intended, however, to be considered extensive or exhaustive. Instead, the sole purpose of the following of the overview is to present concepts related to some exemplary non-limiting embodiments in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description of these and various other embodiments that follow.

[0025]As mentioned in the background, conventional cross layer systems have assumed that users are delay insensitive, and yet, at least some users are likely to have requirements, or sensitivity, when it comes to delay. In this regard, next generation networks are expected to contain real time users of heterogeneous classes with different delay requirements. As a result, in accordance with various embod
