spectrum is a promising solution to address the scarcity of licensed spectrum for cellular networks. Although this approach brings higher capacity for LTE networks, the WiFi performance operating in this band can be significantly degraded. To address this issue, we consider a coordinated structure, in which both
networks are controlled by a higher-level network entity. In such a model, LTE users can transmit in the assigned time-slots, while WiFi users can compete with each other by using p-persistent CSMA in their exclusive time-share. In an unsaturated network,
at each duty cycle, the TDMA scheduling for LTE users and p values for WiFi users should be efficiently updated by the central controller. The corresponding optimization problem is formulated and an iterative algorithm is developed to find the optimal
solution using complementary geometric programming (CGP) and monomial approximations. Aiming to address Quality-ofService (QoS) assurance for LTE users, an upper bound for average delay of these users are obtained. This analysis could be a basis for admission control of LTE users in unlicensed bands. The simulation results reveal the performance gains of the proposed algorithm in preserving the WiFi throughput requirement.
