Design and Performance Evaluation of DL MAC Scheduling Model in LTE

In case of Long Term Evolution (LTE), the scheduler in the MAC layer of the eNodeB allocates the available radio resources among different UEs in a cell through proper handling of priority. The scheduling method used largely impacts the throughput of individual users as well as throughput of the cell. It is worthwhile to check on the throughput conditions for different scheduling scenarios before the actual deployment of LTE. This would help design the algorithm of the scheduler at the eNodeB appropriately. In this dissertation, the throughput conditions require to investigate for different scheduling methods in LTE
