access to the rapid growing volume of mobile users. Therein, a stunning key
feature of LTE is the ability to adapt the advancement in Radio Resource Management
entity which scales up its potential to deal with multi-transmission scenarios
by employing novel multi-antenna techniques on eNBs. This survey come in place
to enlighten the aforementioned notions and deeply investigates the principles
and approaches of LTE/LTE-A packet scheduling that are adapted in either Dl
or UL channels. The main purpose of the study is to come out with a preliminary
conceptual design of an optimal scheduling techniques in multi-cell heterogeneous
environment keeping in mind the effects of inter-cell interference on the model
overall QoS. Finally, it is recommended that a wise packet scheduling model
for multi-cell LTE-A should involve an optimal trade-off between several QoS
parameters having in mind interference mitigation as a main concern. Whereby,
performance features of the known LTE/LTE-A scheduling categories, opportunistic
scheduling, ICIC and CoMP can be realized in a single model.]]>Akyildiz, I.F., D.M. Gutierrez-Estevez and E.C. Reyes,20103217244Al-Rawi, M., R. Jantti, J. Torsner and M.
