    Qos and Channel aware, energy efficient scheduling algorithms Broadband system. The work considers, devising energy efficient strategies in a multiuser environment with TDMA as multiple access. It particularly deals with,   opportunistic energy optimal scheduling with rate constraint. opportunistic energy efficient scheduling with delay constraint. fairness issues in scheduling. The problem is formulated as delay constrained finite buffer system. We consider a fluid model in action space and state space. However time is discretized. We use reinforcement learning methods and prove the convergence for our problem.
