Notation

Description

N

Number of users

I

\(:=\{1,\ldots ,N\}\), set of user indices

K

Number of packets in a data block

d

Coding field size

\(X_0(t)\)

BS-to-RS channel’s state at time slot t

\(X_i(t)\)

RS-to-user i channel’s state at time slot t

X(t)

\(:=(X_0(t),X_1(t),\ldots ,X_N(t))\), aggregate CSI of the system at time slot t

\(B_0(t)\)

Number of coded packets backlogged at the buffer of the RS at time slot t

\(B_i(t)\)

Number of coded packets backlogged at the buffer of user i at time slot t

B(t)

\(:=(B_0(t),B_1(t),\ldots ,B_N(t))\), aggregate BSI of the system at time slot t

\(p_0\)

Probability that the BS-to-RS channel is in ON state at each time slot

\(p_i\)

Probability that the RS-to-user i channel is in ON state at each time slot

p

\(:=(p_0,p_1,\ldots ,p_N)\), aggregate channel parameters
