8. Persistent Scheduling –Resource inefficiency problem Resource can be wasted when a user is deallocated or reallocated according to the silence period or change in MCS. –Complexity/Overhead problem Deallocation/reallocation procedure should be performed at start of every silence period and talk period. Virtual Dedicated Allocation –Efficient resource allocation Hopping pattern allocation increases the resource efficiency due to the channel activity of each user. –Reduced control overhead and complexity Users transmit their data according to the pre-allocated hopping pattern.
