MULTIUSER SCHEDULING ALGORITHMS FOR MAXIMIZING THE THROUGHPUT ON THE DOWNLINK OF A MULTIUSER LTE

Abstract

In this paper Scheduling user transmission on the downlink of a LTE cellular communication system is addressed. Here we see that Maximum rate algorithm is the one that does not consider fairness among users. Multiuser scheduler with proportional fairness (PF) provides a superior fairness performance with a modest loss in throughput, as long as the user average SINRs are fairly uniform. Suboptimal PF scheduler has much lower complexity but then throughput degradation.
