The Long Term Evolution (LTE) may provide ubiquitous mobile broadband services with all IP architecture, however, the quality of service (QoS) of LTE systems is seriously affected by the network congestions, packet losses, jitters, latencies and other QoS issues in all IP networks. Thus it is valuable to investigate and design efficient resource scheduling algorithms to improve the performance of data services and enduser experiences. In this paper we propose an improved radio resource scheduling algorithm over the existing semi-continuous scheduling algorithm for the voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) data packets. Through mapping the TCP (transmission control protocol) ACK (acknowledgement) packets into a higher priority logical channel, the probability of both the discarded ACK packets and congestions in the wireless channels are reduced. As the result, the scheme may avoid frequently opening the TCP congestion control mechanism. The simulation results have shown the advantages of our proposed algorithm, such as the RTT (Round-Trip Time) packet delay reduction, improved throughput, acceptable stability, desirable performance, and son on.
