Banker´s algorithm based resource allocation in next generation broadcasting wireless systems

This paper studies the resource allocation issue of multiple broadcast signals over multiple carrier frequencies in the next generation broadcasting wireless (NGB-W) system, each of which has specific transmission requirements on time resources and number of carrier frequencies. Based on the modified banker´s algorithm, we propose a resource allocation approach of all broadcast signals in the NGB-W system, under the limitation of minimum frame length. Safety judgment is introduced to gain an effective allocation result. If the safe condition is not satisfied, an adjustment strategy need be employed to get a more appropriate allocation result. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme is demonstrated in simulation results.
