Abstract

With the explosive growth of mobile data demand, small cells densely deployed underlying the homogeneous macro-cells are emerging as a promising candidate for the fifth generation (5G) mobile network. The backhaul communication for small cells poses a significant challenge, and with huge bandwidth available in the mmWave band, the wireless backhaul at mmWave frequencies can be a promising backhaul solution for small cells. In this paper, we propose the Maximum QoS-aware Independent Set (MQIS) based scheduling algorithm for the mmWave backhaul network of small cells to maximize the number of flows with their QoS requirements satisfied. In the algorithm, concurrent transmissions and the QoS aware priority are exploited to achieve more successfully scheduled flows and higher network throughput. Simulations in the 73 GHz band are conducted to demonstrate the superior performance of our algorithm in terms of the number of successfully scheduled flows and the system throughput compared with other existing schemes.
