Long Term Evolution is standardized by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project to provide a high data rate up to 100 Mbps and 50 Mbps for downlink and uplink transmission respectively and can operate in different bandwidths ranging from 1.4MHz up to 20MHz. The incorporated scheduling mechanisms can significantly contribute to this goal. Scheduling mechanism is the process of allocated the resources (Time and Frequency) to users transmitting different flows in same time. In this paper, a novel scheduling algorithm is presented, modeled and compare to basic scheduler used in downlink LTE transmission, such as Round Robin, Max Rate and Proportional fair schedulers. Simulation results, presented in this paper, show that the newly proposed algorithm improves system capacity as compare with Proportional Fair scheduler with guaranty of 80% fairness between all users.
The three basic scheduling algorithms are round robin, max sum rate, and proportional fair REF .
