Abstract:

Long Term Evolution (LTE) aims to provide high data rates, low latency and radio access to a continuously growing number of mobile users. Different kinds of traffic have different quality of service (QoS) requirements, especially Real Time (RT) traffic. It is therefore necessary to design an effective scheduling algorithm that will provide a good trade-off among throughput, fairness and QoS. In this paper, a new cross-layer based downlink packet scheduling scheme, named Maximum Possible Throughput (MPT) is proposed. The proposed scheduler is compared to M-LWDF and EXP/PF scheduling algorithms. The performance of these algorithms is judged based on packet's delay, fairness index, cell spectral efficiency and throughput. The simulation results (based on LTE-Sim) show that the proposed scheduler outperforms other schedulers by providing higher throughput with acceptable delay and level of fairness for RT traffic.
