ComNets Graduation Award 2014 for Dennis Kaulbars

On March 14, 2014, this year's award for the best final paper of TU Dortmund has been handed over to Dennis Kaulbars, M.Sc., at the ComNets Workshop at RWTH Aachen. In his paper with the title "Fair and Energy-Efficient Dynamic Scheduling for Heterogeneous Mobile Networks", he addresses innovative resource allocation methods for LTE-Advanced. With the help of these methods, it is, for example, possible to allocate radio resources to a group of emergency personnel in a continuous operation in such a way that the battery lifetime of the used LTE terminal devices is optimized for the whole group. Here, also the power consumption model for LTE, namely CoPoMo, which has been developed at the institute, is being used.
