Scheduling Algorithm
Scheduling is an important insurance for the good operation of the wireless data
service. Scheduling algorithms have a general impact on key performance indicators
like the cell throughput, cell edge user throughput, VoIP capacity, and QoS of data
service.
Scheduling strategies commonly used are:
MAXC/I algorithm: allocate the resource and opportunities to terminals in favor of
those with good channel quality. QoS not taken into account, and memory not used.
PFS algorithm: balance between user channel quality and fairness, both cell
36
throughput and user fairness taken into account.
RR algorithm: allocate the resource and opportunities to all terminals equally. QoS
not taken into account, and memory not used.
