LTE performance evaluation of scheduling strategy in various environments

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is becoming the first choice of operators when constructing the new network infrastructure. This is due to its high throughput and low latency. Although the LTE can offer high-speed data service as a benefit of wideband application, the large bandwidth also results in huge control signaling cost. In this paper simulation has been used as an option to evaluate the performance of available scheduling strategy. Performance for various scheduling strategies was evaluated and optimum scheduling strategy was proposed. Simulation in different environment and scenarios were implemented for specific size of users. In addition, varying the bandwidth size was included to observe the performance.
