In the paper, the resource scheduling algorithm in the downlink of LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) assuming equal power allocation among subcarriers which adopted the technology of carrier aggregation (CA) is investigated. When the independent scheduling (INS) scheme is applied, the LTE users will acquire few resources because they cannot support CA technology. And the fairness of the system is disappointing. Focusing on the problem, a novel proportional fair (PF) scheduling algorithm based on INS is proposed. In the proposed method, the system fairness is well improved without bringing high complexity to the system. And also, we design a weigh factor which is related to the number of the carriers and the percentage of LTE users in the method. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively increase the throughput of LTE users and improve the system fairness.
