Despite the large bandwidth available for all users in high-speed wireless networks, resources allocation and user scheduling remain essential to combat interference, increase throughput and reduce complexity. As the number of users increases, the computational complexity tends to increase significantly. The trade-off between the complexity reduction and capacity improvement is the challenge. Hence a unique ant-colony optimisation method is implemented with successive interference cancellation to reduce complexity and provide higher capacity to more users. The incurred complexity is at least 50% less than other schemes. The average mean square error achieved is around 4 dB smaller than that of the existing scheme.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
