Toward a New LTE Uplink Packet Scheduler for Machine-to-Machine Communication

This paper proposes a mechanism for uplink packet scheduler in LTE network in the context of Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications that uses the current and past information of the system to satisfy the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, ensure fairness in the allocation of resources and control the congestion caused by the M2M devices. The results indicate that the proposed approach can reduce the impact of M2M communication on the Human-to-Human (H2H) communication and avoid the problem of starvation.
