N2 - Recently, the interest in operating long term evolution (LTE) in unlicensed bands (i.e., LTE-U) has increased. However, since LTE does not sense for channel vacancy prior to transmissions, whereas a wireless local area network (WLAN) is based on carrier sensing multiple access, LTE interference severely degrades the performance of WLAN. To maximize the LTE throughput while maintaining fairness between LTE and WLAN, we formulate a joint optimization problem of channel selection and frame scheduling in LTE. As a practical solution of this problem, we propose a low-complexity heuristic algorithm called the sequential operation algorithm (SOA). Evaluation results demonstrate that SOA can achieve an LTE throughput comparable to that of the optimal solution, while maintaining fairness between LTE and WLAN by selecting appropriate channels and conducting effective frame scheduling.
