Abstract :
In the framework of 3G systems, the adoption of efficient packet scheduling algorithms is needed to guarantee QoS as well as to provide high capacity. Here, it is revealed that for a proper system optimisation, different packet scheduling strategies should be used depending on the deployment scenario (macrocell, microcell, pico-cell), the link direction (uplink or downlink), as well as the service characteristics (continuous, bursty traffic)
