Abstract:
Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-Advanced) is the one of the fastest growing technologies. As it is new form
of Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks. It provides its subscribers with improved service capabilities and improved network
performance and this is carried through the intelligent deployment of new techniques and technologies. In 3G LTE the
transmission of data is carried in the form of packets and through the smart selection of the users. Long Term Evolution (LTE)
support traffics like video conferencing, voice over IP (VoIP), video streaming, file transfer and also the web browsing. Smart
packet scheduling algorithms are responsible for choosing fine time and frequency resolution and they play the main role in
LTE networks. Some significantly known features of LTE-Advanced are enhancement in heterogeneous networks, carrier
aggregation, multipoint transmission and reception, use of relay nodes in the wireless network and advanced multiple inputs
and multiple output usage. LTE-Advanced is for enhancement of the radio access part of cellular networks. In this paper, we
compare some packet scheduling algorithms for LTE downlink mechanism.
