摘要：Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a digital system designed to meet the need of growing mobile subscribers which the analog could not handle. It has ALL-IP network architecture and provides better quality of service than the previous cellular systems. Though LTE remains one of the most embraced and fastest growing technologies in communications, the resources on LTE network are limited and it has to be allocated in a way that highest throughput and fairness are maintained among all connections. Hence, many scheduling algorithms have been proposed. This research evaluated various scheduling algorithms in LTE network and developed a Prioritized Fairness Packet Scheduling (PFPS) algorithm that improves on the limitations of the existing algorithms. The proposed model was simulated using SIMULINK. The performance of PFPS was evaluated using throughput and fairness among users equipment while the results were validated with Round Robin (RR) and Best CQI scheduling algorithms.
