Scheduling Algorithms Performance of HSDPA over Wireless Channels

This paper studies the performance of scheduling algorithms for High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) over wireless channels. The throughput performance has been considered with the three scheduling algorithms: Round Robin, Maximum C/I, and Fair Channel Dependent Scheduling (FCDS). A simulation approach is adopted with two scenarios: File Downloading and Voice Streaming. The simulation results showed that HSDPA provide high data rates depending on the scheduling algorithm used.
