Abstract
The packet scheduling mechanism is a very important technical issue for long-term evolution (LTE) systems. In this paper, we improve the performance of traditional packet scheduling algorithms in LTE systems for multimedia service applications using traffic policing strategies known as leaky bucket regulation. We seek and achieve fairness between classes of services, controlling the arrival rates of packets to transmission queues of the scheduler. Simulation results confirm that schedulers with policed input traffic provide better performance for real-time services, especially those involving video traffic. The performance evaluation was carried out in terms of quality of service parameters, such as packet delay, packet loss ratio, and system throughput for video and VoIP traffic.
