Modified capacity enhanced PF (MCE-PF) downlink scheduling algorithm for heterogeneous LTE-Advanced Networks

This Scheduling in heterogeneous LTE-Advanced Networks is a very important approach where using the effective scheduler helps to enhance the overall system performance. There are different scheduling algorithms developed in downlink LTE system. The main improvement of this current paper is to design a Modified Capacity Enhanced PF (MCE-PF) Downlink Scheduling Algorithm for heterogeneous networks that achieves better performance in terms of throughput and spectral efficiency compared to the original PF and to other methods for scheduling. The new algorithm is, however, applied on the two types of networks heterogeneous and homogeneous networks to quantify its performance using simulation.
