Rotation-based LTE downlink resource scheduling using queue status monitoring

Abstract

Resource scheduling process in LTE network plays a vital role in enhancing the system performance. Therefore, in this paper, rotation based resource scheduling along with queue monitoring algorithm is proposed for LTE downlink transmission, to reduce overflow of packets from user queue at eNodeB, and to reduce the transmission delay of the packet. On the other hand, proposed algorithm also enhances the system throughput and maintains fairness among the users. The experimental results illustrate that the proposed algorithm enhance the system throughput compared to other existing schedulers. Further, it also improves Packet Delivery Fraction (PDF) and reduces the transmission delay of the packets.
