A novel fair mapping scheme for IEEE 802.16 downlink sub-frame

A novel fair mapping scheme is proposed in this paper for the IEEE 802.16 downlink sub-frame. The mapping process is critical since it allocates the users´ requests into the downlink sub-frame in order to be sent to the mobile stations. One of the most noticeable issues in this area lies on the fairness aspect. Giving that the mapping process defines the order and the way that the users´ requests are being serviced, some users may be treated unfairly. In this work this issue is considered and a new mapping scheme is introduced. The proposed scheme encloses fair and more efficient mapping process, compared to the leading scheme, according to the presented simulation results.
