Abstract

Improved resource allocation scheme for optimizing the performance of cell edge users in Long Term Evolution-Advanced (LTE-A) system is proposed in this paper. The proposed algorithm optimally assigns and allocates Carrier Components (CCs), Radio Blocks (RBs) and Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) index for the users based on the Quality of Service (QoS) provision to meet the on demand service requests. The proposed algorithm divides the cell regions into cell centre and cell edge depending on the traffic load on the network. The available RBs are allocated to meet the on demands requests of the users among these two regions. RB usage ratio for optimizing the performance of the scheduling algorithm is used during resource allocation. As the RB usage ratio reaches more than 70%, throughput and data rates of the cell may not be reached in timely and reliable manner. The proposed algorithm takes RB usage ratio into consideration during scheduling to maintain minimum QoS provisions of the users for resource allocation. Simulation result shows that, performance of the cell edge users optimally met with minimum throughput and data rates for reliable communication in the LTE-A system.
