Abstract

This paper explores the performance of three packet scheduling algorithms, namely, Proportional Fair (PF) algorithm, Exponential/Proportional Fair (EXP/PF) algorithm and Maximum Largest Weighted Delay First (MLWDF), from the real time traffic perspectives. Simulation results showed that in the downlink of the 3GPP LTE system, the MLWDF outperforms the PF and the EXP/PF algorithms in terms of packet throughput, packet-loss ratio, packet latency, fairness index and total cell spectral efficiency.
