A downlink resource scheduling strategy for C-RAN backhaul network

  • 摘要: 随着移动互联网技术的快速发展、无线终端设备与移动应用流量需求与日俱增,移动用户对无线通信网络的服务质量(quality of service, QoS)要求越来越高、回传网络的压力也越来越大. 新出现的云无线接入网(cloud radio access network, C-RAN)能够有效提升网络容量、提高用户服务质量,同时采用无源光网络(passive optical network, PON)作为其回传网络(backhaul),能够为其提供大带宽、高可靠、低时延的回传支撑. 在移动应用需求不断变化和回传网络资源有限的条件下,高效的资源调度策略至关重要,其能够有效的提升回传网络资源利用率、降低传输等待时延. 为节约回传网络波长资源、提高波长负载均衡性和资源利用率,提出一种下行资源调度策略. 根据高热点区域无线用户实时网络需求,综合考虑回传网络波长使用数量、负载均衡性和实时业务分配均匀度等优化目标,采用自适应权重并行遗传算法完成其优化过程,从而实现波长资源动态分配,提升网络资源利用率. 仿真结果表明,提出的下行资源调度策略能有效提高网络负载均衡性和网络资源利用率,并降低实时业务等待传输时间.

     

    Abstract: With the rapid development of mobile internet technology and daily increase in wireless user equipment as well as demand of mobile applications, the required quality of service (QoS) by mobile users for wireless communication networks is increasing, and the pressure of backhaul network is also increasing. The emerging cloud radio access network (C-RAN) can effectively improve the network capacity and user service quality. Meanwhile, Passive Optical Network (PON) was used for backhaul network that offers a large bandwidth, high reliability, and low latency backhaul. When the demand of mobile applications is ever-changing and backhaul network resource is limited, an efficient backhaul network resource scheduling strategy is of great importance. This can improve the backhaul network resource utilization and waiting-transmitting delay in C-RAN. To save backhaul network resource, improve the load balance of wavelengths and the utilization of network resource, a downlink resource scheduling strategy was proposed. According to the network demand of wireless users in hot spots, three optimization objectives including the number of used wavelengths, load balance, and well-distribution of real-time traffic were considered in the optimization of adaptive-weighted parallel genetic algorithm. Thus, the wavelength resources were dynamically allocated and resource utilization was improved. The results demonstrate that the proposed downlink resource scheduling strategy can effectively improve the load balance and resource utilization and reduce the waiting-transmitting delay of real-time traffic.
