User QoS-based Multi-Channel Assignment Schemes under Multimedia Traffic Conditions

The implementation of multi-channel assignment policies can improve a mobile´s network performance by increasing the user throughput and reducing transmission delays. However, to define efficient distribution policies, the varying service demands and the search for user QoS fairness should be considered under multimedia traffic scenarios. In this context, this paper proposes and evaluates novel bankruptcy and utility-based multi-channel distribution schemes aimed at maximising the resource´s efficiency and guaranteeing user QoS fairness.
