Abstract:
This paper propose an optimal resource allocation algorithm by exploiting layered coding combined with erasure correction coding for multicast services in the downlink of OFDMA-based single frequency networks (SFN). In this algorithm, we exploit unequal error protection (UEP) Reed-Solomon (RS) coding to compensate for possible data packet loss of base layer and enhancement layers which are obtained from fine-granularity-scalability (FGS) video coding. In order to reduce the feedback load, BSs only utilize the average channel state information (CSI) of the users. The proposed algorithm maximizes the enhancement layers throughput while guaranteeing the minimum data rate of the base layer in each multicast group. A two-phase suboptimal algorithm is proposed to reduce the computational complexity. Simulation results show that the performance of the algorithm with UEP RS coding is much better than the algorithm without. Moreover, the proposed algorithms significantly outperform conventional multicast scheme (CMS).
