Comparison of different distributed scheduling strategies for static/dynamic LTE scenarios

this paper explains the main results of a system simulator software tool, specifically oriented to allow a comparison of different distributed LTE scheduling strategies for static/dynamic scenarios and therefore under different traffic patterns. Full Buffer (static) as well as VoIP and WebTraffic (dynamic) UEs have been considered through the simulations. Tested algorithms include Fixed Reuse R1, Reuse R3, a mixed scenario (with R1/R3 for high/low SINR UEs), a scenario with three type of UEs, fixed reuse and correspondingly three different transmitted power levels, Soft Frequency Reuse and Reuse Partitioning. Analyzed parameters are the SINR, Cell Throughput and UE throughput distribution that can be studied globally or separately by user type.
