在LTE-A網路中傳統的AMC機制在配置RB時，eNodeB會根據UE所回報的SNR/CQI的對應表與UE要求的Data Rate來計算RB的大小，此配置方式會造成eNodeB分配過大的RB給UE。為了解決此問題，本論文提出了一個動態的RB配置機制，UE使用ARQ Status Report來通知eNodeB重傳錯誤的封包，eNodeB會根據Status Report內的序列號碼計算出各個UEs在單位時間內的資料處理量，藉此重新調整各UEs所需要的實際RB大小以節省下不必要的頻寬浪費，另外在處理資料排程時，我們考慮三種型態的資料流(Audio、Video、Data)分別具有不同優先權的特性，我們的機制會更改AMC機制所選定的調變技術，其目的是讓一個OFDMA Frame的使用率大幅上升，為了避免最低優先權的Data Traffic發生Starvation，我們設定Audio與Video Traffic的Bit Rate有一個使用上限，最後我們使用NS-3模擬器模擬我們所提出的動態RB配置機制，從模擬結果可以證實使用我們的機制比使用AMC機制可以更有效提升系統的Utilization、降低UE的Blocking Rate與增加UE成功連線的數目，並保障在Noise越高且欲連線的Video Traffic數目越多時其Blocking Rate的改善幅度越大。

In an LTE-A network, the traditional AMC scheme allocates RB based on SNR/CQI table reported from UE and the data rate requirement of UE. However, this scheme will lead to allocating RB which is beyond the requirement of UE. To solve the problem, this thesis proposes a dynamic RB allocation scheme by utilizing ARQ status report in which UE reports erroneous packet with sequence number to eNodeB. From the status report, eNodeB will compute the amount of successfully received data per unit time of each UE. Therefore, eNodeB can properly allocate RB which is exactly the requirment of each UE. Moreover, in this thesis, we consider three traffic types (audio, video, and data) with different priorities. Our proposed scheme can alter the modulation determined by AMC such that the utilization of an OFDMA frame can be tremendously increased. To prevent the starvation of data traffic which has the lowest priority, we set an upper bound of occupied RB for audio and video traffic in an OFDMA frame. At last, we perform NS-3 simulation to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme. The simulation results show that our proposed scheme can perform much better than the traditional AMC scheme in terms of system utilization, blocking rate of UEs, and the number of successfully connected UEs. Particularly, when in a high noise environment and a large number of UE, the proposed scheme can guarantee a smaller blocking rate for video traffic.
