Evaluation of latency-aware scheduling techniques for M2M traffic over LTE

Machine to Machine (M2M) communications are expected to grow dramatically in next years. Scheduling techniques are determinant to achieve high spectral efficiency in wireless systems and to provide QoS guarantees to system users. In this work, several scheduling algorithms are evaluated in order to accommodate delay limited M2M communications over an LTE system. Simulation results show a reduction of mean and 95

percentile packet delay.
