A New Scheduling Algorithm for Real-Time Communication in LTE Networks

A New Scheduling Algorithm for Real-Time Communication in LTE Networks A key mechanism in the LTE traffic processing is the packet scheduler which is in charge of allocating radio resources to User Equipment (UE) based on scheduling schemes involved in the LTE base station. The main contribution of this work is to propose a new scheduling algorithm for Long Term Evolution (LTE) system. The proposed scheduler satisfies the quality of service (QoS) requirements of the real-time traffic. Simulation results shows that the proposed scheduler can ameliorate the performance on the used metrics among services. The performance evaluation is compared in terms of packet loss ratio (PLR), average throughput and cell spectral efficiency.
