Abstract

The advancement in cellular communications has enhanced the special attention given to the study of resource allocation schemes. This study is to enhance communications to attain efficiency and thereby offers fairness to all users in the face of congestion experienced anytime a new product is rolled out. The comparative analysis was done on the performance of Enhanced Proportional Fair, Qos-Aware Proportional Fair and Logarithmic rule scheduling algorithms in Long Term Evolution in this work. These algorithms were simulated using LTE system toolbox in MATLAB and their performances were compared using Throughput, Packet delay and Packet Loss Ratio. The results showed Qos-Aware Proportional Fair has a better performance in all the metrics used for the evaluation.
