A Dynamic Scheduling Scheme for the Revers Packet Data Channel in CDMA2000 1XEV-DV

cdma2000 1xEV-DV is considered to be the solution for the ever-growing demand of high-speed wireless packet data transmission. This new standard allows data rates up to 1.8 Mbps on the reverse link and up to 3.1 Mbps on the forward link. In this paper, we develop a dynamic scheduling technique for the reverse packet data channel. The scheduling algorithm is formulated as an optimization problem which is solved using a greedy optimization. Our simulation results show that the new scheduling scheme improves the sector throughput and packet delays over the proportional fair scheduling algorithm. It also shows that the proposed scheme satisfies the fairness criterion required by 3GPP2
