System and method for balancing uplink bandwidth utilization in a relay assisted cellular network

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions for balancing uplink (UL) bandwidth utilization in a relay assisted cellular network comprising executable code which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform steps comprising:

• obtaining scheduler context data associated with one or more mobile users/devices connected to the relay assisted cellular network;
• computing static and dynamic load values of data packets coming from the one or more mobile users/devices using the obtained scheduler context data;
• and
• balancing UL bandwidth utilization between the one or more mobile users or devices and a base station in the relay assisted cellular network using the computed static and dynamic load values, wherein the balancing further comprises continually adjusting throughput of each mobile user or device by adding needed weights based on a priority and a rate deficit according to a schedule.

A load balancing computing device comprising:

• a processor;
• a memory, wherein the memory coupled to the processor which are configured to execute programmed instructions stored in the memory comprising:
• obtaining scheduler context data associated with one or more mobile users/devices connected to the relay assisted cellular network;
• computing static and dynamic load values of data packets coming from the one or more mobile users/devices using the obtained scheduler context data;
• and
• balancing UL bandwidth utilization between the one or more mobile users/devices and a base station in the relay assisted cellular network using the computed static and dynamic load values, wherein the balancing further comprises continually adjusting throughput of each mobile user or device by adding needed weights based on a priority and a rate deficit according to a schedule.
