Abstract: Conventionally, real-time (inelastic) users and non-real-time (elastic) users are scheduled separately. Further, some users may be left without getting any radio resources. In real scenario, such as in high network traffic, less network coverage, resource allocation for all types of users are needed. In the proposed technique, a utility function is defined for each elastic traffic and inelastic traffic type users. Then, it maximises the total utilities by network utility maximisation approach with considering scheduling parameters such as queue length, head of the line delay and experienced channel condition. Rate allocation based on queue awareness improves fairness among elastic traffic users, delay awareness improves QoS performance of inelastic traffic users and channel condition awareness improves throughput of all users. Further, the network utility maximisation approach provides minimum throughput to all users.
