Nowadays, with the advent of smartphones, most of people started to make voice and video conference calls continuously even in a high mobility scenario, the bandwidth requirements have increased considerably, which can cause network congestion phenomena. To avoid network congestion problems and to support high mobility scenario, 3GPP has developed a new cellular standard based packet switching, termed LTE (Long Term Evolution). The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performance of the new proposed algorithm, named Exponential Modified Largest Weighted Delay First ‘EXP-MLWDF’, for high mobility scenario and with the presence of a large number of active users, in comparison with the well-known algorithms such as a proportional fair algorithm (PF), Exponential Proportional Fairness (EXP/PF), Logarithm Rule (LOG-Rule), Exponential Rule (EXP-Rule) and Modified Largest Weighted Delay First (MLWDF). The performance evaluation is conducted in terms of system throughput, delay and PLR. Finally, it will be concluded that the proposed scheduler satisfies the quality of service (QoS) requirements of the real-time traffic in terms of packet loss ratio (PLR), average throughput and packet delay. Because of the traffic evolution, some key issues related to scheduling strategies that will be considered in the future requirements are discussed in this article.
5G NR (new radio) systems support multiple use cases, namely enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC), and massive machine-type communications (mMTC), to meet the needs of different types of applications. The multi users-downlink packet scheduling (MU-DLPS) is used for the 5G NR radio resource management (RRM). In this paper, the authors show that the radio resource scheduling algorithms, which have been applied to 4G, are also efficient and can be used in 5G networks. In this objective, the authors simulated scheduling schemes in a 5G eMBB environment. The algorithms were developed in C++ for the first time and were simulated using the mmWave model of the NS-3 simulator. Mobility scenarios with fixed and mobile nodes have been implemented. The comparison was made using python programs, newly and specifically developed for the data extraction. The results show that five strategies achieve remarkable values in terms of system throughput and downlink latency.
