Abstract The Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) has developed a new cellular standard based packet switching allowing high data rate, 100 Mbps in Downlink and 50 Mbps in Uplink, and having the flexibility to be used in different bandwidths ranging from 1.4 MHz up to 20 MHz, this standard is termed LTE (Long Term Evolution). Radio Resource Management (RRM) procedure is one of the key design roles for improving LTE system performance, Packet scheduling is one of the RRM mechanisms and it is responsible for radio resources allocation, However, Scheduling algorithms are not defined in 3GPP specifications. Therefore, it gets a track interests for researchers. In this paper we proposed a new LTE scheduling algorithm and we compared its performances with other well known algorithms such as Proportional Fairness (PF), Modified Largest Weighted Delay First (MLWDF), and Exponential Proportional Fairness (EXPPF) in downlink direction. The simulation results shows that the proposed scheduler satisfies the quality of service (QoS) requirements of the real-time traffic in terms of packet loss ratio (PLR), average throughput and packet delay. This paper also discusses the key issues of scheduling algorithms to be considered in future traffic requirements.

In this research paper we have implemented downlink packet scheduling algorithms in LTE-Sim simulation for LTE cellular networks. The implementation includes adding two packet scheduling algorithms (Round Robin and MaxRate). The performance of these algorithms is tested for various types of real time service (video) and non real time service(data) for fixed and mobile users at various speeds 3, and 120Km/h in LTE-Sim simulator. The simulation was setup with varying number of users 120 in fixed boundedregions of 1 km radius.The goal of this project is to study the simulation of Radio Resource Management (RRM) in 4G networks using LTE-Sim. In particular, it focuses on the comprehensive performance testing of packet scheduling algorithms (such as Max Rate, Round Robin, PF, MLWDF, EXP). The paper shows the results of implementing of these algorithms and testing their performance.

Quality of service (QoS) provisioning is an important issue in the deployment of broadband wireless access networks e.g. WiMAX (IEEE Std 802.16-2004, 2004) networks with real-time and non-real-time traffic integrated. To design a QoS support framework tailored for WiMAX networks is more challenge as wireless channel has unique characteristics such as time-varying channel and limited channel capacity. This chapter presents various QoS support mechanisms in WiMAX networks. Existing proposals with the state-of-the-art technology have been classified into three main categories: QoS support architecture, bandwidth management mechanism, and packet scheduling schemes. Representative schemes from each of the categories have been evaluated with respect to major distinguishing characteristics of the WiMAX MAC layer and PHY layer as specified in the IEEE 802.16d standard. Suggestions and research trends on QoS support in WiMAX networks are highlighted.
