D. Evaluation <strong>of</strong> Multi-User GainD. Evaluation <strong>of</strong> Multi-User GainSection 3.2.1.1 states that <strong>the</strong> reduction in simulation run time due to <strong>the</strong> application<strong>of</strong> a L2S model enables <strong>the</strong> analysis <strong>of</strong> more complex MU scenarios. One suchscenario is <strong>the</strong> evaluation <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> MU gain <strong>of</strong> different scheduling strategies to schedule<strong>the</strong> UEs in a cell [144]. Without an in-depth analysis such as in Chapter 5, thisappendix presents such an example <strong>of</strong> MU performance evaluation.Beginning with <strong>the</strong> SISO case, as an upper performance limit, <strong>the</strong> best CQI scheduleris employed, which assigns each RB to <strong>the</strong> UE with <strong>the</strong> highest reported channelquality. As a lower performance threshold, <strong>the</strong> round robin scheduler is employed. Inround robin, each UE is assigned <strong>the</strong> same number <strong>of</strong> RBs, regardless <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> reportedchannel conditions. Next to <strong>the</strong>se, an implementation <strong>of</strong> proportional fair schedulingfor OFDM [134] is compared. Results over UEs/cell are shown in Figure D.1.Avg. cell throughput [Mbit/s]90807060504030200Throughput 1x15 10 15 20 25 30number <strong>of</strong> UEs/cellFairness <strong>of</strong> UE throughput10.90.80.70.60.50.40.30.20.100Fairness 1x15 10 15 20 25 30number <strong>of</strong> UEs/cellRound Robin Proportional fair Best CQI fitFigure D.1: 1×1 Single transmit antenna transmit mode multi-user gain.
