Abstract
In this paper, we investigate resource block (RB) assignment and modulation-and-coding scheme (MCS) selection to maximize downlink throughput of long-term evolution (LTE) systems, where all RB's assigned to the same user in any given transmission time interval (TTI) must use the same MCS. We develop several effective MCS selection schemes by using the effective packet-level SINR based on exponential effective SINR mapping (EESM), arithmetic mean, geometric mean, and harmonic mean. From both analysis and simulation results, we show that the system throughput of all the proposed schemes are better than that of the scheme in. Furthermore, the MCS selection scheme using harmonic mean based effective packet-level SINR almost reaches the optimal performance and significantly outperforms the other proposed schemes.Keywords
