Abstract

In this chapter, we consider a cellular downlink packet data system employing the space-time block coded (STBC) multiple- input-multiple-output (MIMO) scheme. Taking the CDMA high data rate (HDR) system for example, we evaluate the cross-layer performance of typical scheduling algorithms and a point-to-point power control scheme over a time division multiplexing (TDM)-based shared MIMO channel. Our evaluation focuses on the role of those schemes in multi-user diversity gain, and their impacts on medium access control (MAC) and physical layer performance metrics for delay-tolerant data services, such as throughput, fairness, and bit or frame error rate. The cross-layer evaluation shows that the multi-user diversity gain, which comes from opportunistic scheduling schemes exploiting independent channel oscillations among multiple users, can increase the aggregate throughput and reduce the transmission error rate. It also shows that STBC/MIMO and one-bit and multi-bit power control can indeed help the physical and MAC layer performance but only at a risk of limiting the multiuser diversity gain or the potential throughput of schedulers for delay-tolerant bursty data services.
