Abstract :
The problem of fair resource allocation in power-line networks with multiple links is considered. A new bandwidth allocation criterion with improved multiuser diversity characteristics is presented, which provides an increased total data rate compared with other existing solutions. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method under different network loading conditions.
