Abstract
In this paper, a three level scheduling scheme is proposed for Long Term Evolution (LTE) network to enhance the cell throughput while maintaining fairness among User Equipments (UE). At initial level, the users with good channel conditions are scheduled that result in increase in cell throughput. At next level, the users with maximum delay requirements are allocated and at last level the users with long buffer queue are scheduled to maintain fairness among users. The proposed scheme is compared with traditional scheduling algorithms and validated by means of simulation results.
