A Novel MulticastPower Adaptation Model Background and previous works The CPAM scheme Numerical results Downlink radio resource allocation We focused on a TDD version of LTE: the signal is organized in a time/frequency structure (frame) in the downlink phase radio resources are split both in time and frequency domain into PRBs (7 OFDM symbols x 12 subcarriers). LTE systems (starting from Release 9) can handle both broadcast and multicast traffic flows by the MBMS framework. This work: proposes a novel convex formulation for the power adaptation problem able to take into account either the propagation conditions experienced within each MG and that all communications adopt the RLNC as error control strategy; foresees a scenario where an eNodeB sends different information flows Multicast Groups (MGs) randomly located within the cell.

A Novel MulticastPower Adaptation Model Background and previous works The CPAM scheme Numerical results Background and previous works The power adaptation strategies in LTE has been investigated in several works but: they usually do not take into account that the downlink communications rely on a RLNC scheme; they address network scenarios involving only Point-to-Point and not Point-to-Multipoint (P2M) communications. Our power adaptation scheme is able to lead to a fair power adaptation among each P2M downlink flow. The convex formulation provided, ensures to find a feasible solution with affordable computing efforts. IEEE International Conference on Communications 2012 andrea.tassi@unifi.it

A coded packet is obtained as: ri = M × ci , i = 1, . . . , l Linear NC decoding Whenever an UE collects l coded PDUs linearly independent it can recover the message as: M = [r1; r2; . . . ; rl ] R × [c1; c2; . . . ; cl ]−1 C−1 eNodeB MG2 MG1 MG3 MG4 Multicast network model: the eNodeB transmits to each MG a message until all members have successfully recovered it; UEs acknowledge messages with ACKs.

A Novel MulticastPower Adaptation Model Background and previous works The CPAM scheme Numerical results Problem formulation (2/2) Model assumptions all the downlink communications adopt the QPSK scheme for each MG we consider the received SNRb,t of the UE characterized by the worst propagation conditions (the reference UE) The idea underlying the power adaptation: If a message is close to be successfully recovered by the UEs of a MG, it should be prioritized among the other ones. We deﬁne the Power Scaling Weight (PSW) wb,t relative to the t-th PDU directed to the b-th MG as: wb,t = 1 if 0 ≤ j < l/2 2(c−1) l j + 2 − c if j ≥ l/2 (3) where c ≥ 1 is a real value parameter such that wb,t = c when j = l. The optimization goal: the maximization of the weighted system throughput, where the weights are the PSWs. IEEE International Conference on Communications 2012 andrea.tassi@uniﬁ.it

Then the PSFs are normalized by a factor δ in order to respect the power constraint: xb,t = δ βb,t = O O i=1 gi,j [b, t] βb,t 1 To guarantee a PDU error probability less than 0.35.
