MULTICAST WITH JOINT LAYER RESOURCE ALLOCATION IN BROADBAND WIRELESS NETWORKS

摘要

Methods and systems for allocating resources and modulation and coding schemes to transmit layers of a data stream are described. Embodiments provide efficient utilization of resources by collectively allocating resource slots to layers assigned a common modulation and coding scheme. Modulation and coding schemes are assigned based on a maximal utility that is modeled on the collective resource allocation.
