It introduces carrier aggregation as a technique in LTE-Advanced to aggregate multiple component carriers to improve user throughput. Previous research on resource allocation with carrier aggregation did not consider delay factors and error probability, limiting quality of service. The paper proposes an improved scheduling method for carrier aggregation that considers head of line delay, packet loss probability, and delay thresholds for different data types. It aims to enhance system throughput while maintaining computational complexity. Simulation results show the proposed method outperforms previous approaches in terms of average user throughput, cell throughput, fairness, and spectral efficiency.

ADAPTIVE HANDOVER HYSTERESIS AND CALL ADMISSION CONTROL FOR MOBILE RELAY NODESIJCNCJournal
The aim of equipping a wireless network with a mobile relay node is to support broadband wireless communications for vehicular users and their devices. The high mobility of vehicular users, possibly at a very high velocity in the area in which two cells overlap, could cause the network to suffer from a reduced handover success rate and, hence, increased radio link failure. The combined impact of these problems is service interruptions to vehicular users. Thus, the handover schemes are crucial in solving these problems. In this work, we first present the adaptive handover hysteresis scheme for the wireless network with mobile relay nodes in the high-speed train scenario. Specifically, our proposed adaptive hysteresis scheme is based on the velocity of the train. Second, the handover call dropping probability is reduced by introducing a modified call admission control scheme to support radio resource reservation for handover calls that prioritizes handover calls of mobile relay over the other calls. The proposed solution in which adaptive parameter is combined with call admission control is evaluated by system level simulation. Our simulation results illustrate an increased handover success rate and reduced radio link failures.

Here a new MAC scheduling mechanism for the downlink of LTE systems named Channel and Qos Aware Scheduler is analyzed. This scheduler is based on a Channel and QoS aware algorithm which performs joint time and frequency scheduling. The relevance of the scheduler comes in to play in a situation in which the number of data hungry users are at the rising edge and they demand for traffics that have very tight QoS requirement in terms of bit rate and delay.eg:- VoIP, Video conferencing & Online Gaming. The performance of the scheduler is evaluated by means of network simulations in LTE single cell scenario with mixed traffic and compared the results with state of the art LTE downlink schedulers. The results shows that in a realistic scenario in which quality of channel varies over time as well as frequency, CQA scheduler significantly outperforms other schedulers in terms of provided QoS.

Traffic offloading impact on the performanceIJCNCJournal
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is defined by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standards as
Release 8/9. The LTE supports at max 20 MHz channel bandwidth for a carrier. The number of LTE users
and their applications are increasing, which increases the demand on the system BW. A new feature of the
LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) which is defined in the 3GPP standards as Release 10/11 is called Carrier Aggregation (CA), this feature allows the network to aggregate more carriers in-order to provide a higher bandwidth. Carrier Aggregation has three main cases: Intra-band contiguous, Intra-band non-contiguous, Inter-band contiguous. In addition to the Carrier Aggregation feature, LTE-A supports Heterogeneous Networks (HetNets). HetNets consists of a mix of macro-cells, remote radio heads, and low power nodes such as pico-cells, and femto-cells. HetNets allow cellular network operators to support higher data traffic
by offloading it to a smaller cells such as femto-cells. The aim of this paper is to evaluate the Quality of Service (QoS) performance of the Modified Largest Weighted Delay First (MLWDF), the Exponential Rule (Exp-Rule), and the Logarithmic Rule (Log-Rule) scheduling algorithms while offloading 50% of the macro-cell's traffic to five femto-cells, 100% of the macro-cell's traffic to five femto-cells, 100% of the macro-cell's traffic to ten femto-cells, and to compare it with the case in-which traffic offloading is not
applied. The QoS performance evaluation is based on the system's average throughput, Packet Loss Rate (PLR), average packet delay, and fairness among users. The LTE-Sim-5 with modifications is used in the simulation process. Simulation results show that offloading 100% of the Macro-cell's traffic to five femtocells had the highest maximum throughput, and the best PLR values especially when using the Log-Rule, in-which using it maintained the PLR values around 0.15 despite increasing the number of users. The least average packet delay was achieved when offloading 100% of the Macro-cell's traffic to ten femto-cells, the delay dropped to below 5 ms. The fairness indicators for the three scheduling algorithms while traffic
offloading was applied fluctuated in a linear way between a range of values of 0.7 and 0.9.
The document discusses the evolution of 3GPP's Long Term Evolution (LTE) radio technology and System Architecture Evolution (SAE). It describes the initial feasibility study in 2004 to develop a high-data-rate, low-latency packet-optimized radio access technology. Key requirements were identified for peak data rates, latency, capacity, throughput, spectrum efficiency, mobility, and more. Radio interface options were evaluated, leading to the selection of OFDM for the downlink and SC-FDMA for the uplink. The evolved UTRAN architecture was defined consisting of eNBs interconnected by the X2 interface.
The document describes a proposed unified algorithm for load balancing (LB) and handover optimization (HOO) in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks. The algorithm uses a Fuzzy System (FS) tuned by the Q-Learning reinforcement learning algorithm to modify handover parameters at the cell adjacency level. This aims to improve key performance indicators related to both LB and HOO. Simulation results show the proposed joint algorithm provides better performance than independent LB and HOO entities operating simultaneously. The algorithm reduces complexity for the self-organizing network coordination entity by handling LB and HOO jointly rather than as separate functions.

Some of the key driving forces behind the transition from the UMTS based cellular system to the Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) are to improve the mean and the cell-edge throughput, improve the user fairness, and improve the quality of service (QoS) satisfaction for all users. In the latter system, relays appear as one of the most prominent enabler for improving the cell-edge user experience while increasing the system’s fairness.

Moreover, we analyze resource allocation problem for Relay Nodes (RN) deployments and present some of the solutions for improvement in system resource usage and QoS satisfaction. Afterwards, we introduce the capabilities of NOMOR’s LTE-A system level simulator and evaluate the performance of LTE-A relay systems under the described solutions.

1) The document proposes a traffic-based resource and energy allocation algorithm to improve energy efficiency in LTE networks using MIMO and OFDMA technologies.
2) It analyzes existing resource allocation schemes that focus on energy efficiency but do not guarantee quality of service (QoS) for users, especially in high traffic load scenarios.
3) The proposed algorithm aims to minimize energy consumption at base stations while satisfying certain QoS requirements for users, even with high traffic loads, by allocating resources across multiple carrier components.
This document analyzes the performance of vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) using WiMAX technology with realistic mobility patterns. It designs VANET systems in different environments using the NS2 simulator. Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) and adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) techniques are implemented to improve quality of service. Simulation results show that MIMO and AMC provide significant gains in throughput, delay, jitter, packet delivery ratio, and packet loss ratio. Different routing protocols are also evaluated under various realistic mobility scenarios.
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF CARRIER AGGREGATION FOR VARIOUS MOBILE NETWORK IMPLEM...ijwmn
This document analyzes the performance gains of carrier aggregation (CA) for 3 component carriers (3CC) compared to 2CC using a Vienna LTE system level simulator. The results show that 3CC aggregation provides considerably higher average cell throughput than 2CC aggregation, but reduces fairness index. The reduction in fairness index implies the scheduler has a more difficult task allocating resources across the added component carrier. Compensating for the decreased fairness could increase scheduler complexity. In conclusion, aggregating more component carriers through CA can increase bandwidth and data rates but also impacts fairness and scheduling.

This document proposes using Q-learning to optimize handover parameters in 4G networks. It discusses issues with handover like radio link failure from too early or late handover. The proposed approach uses Q-learning, where the environment model includes states defined by combinations of time-to-trigger and hysteresis values, and actions are increasing or decreasing those values. The reward function aims to minimize drops and ping-pongs. Simulation results show this Q-learning approach can optimize handover parameters. Future work could consider interference optimization along with handover.
IRJET- Channel and Rate Selection in Cognitive Radio NetworkIRJET Journal
This document summarizes channel and rate selection techniques in cognitive radio networks. It discusses three main types of channel selection algorithms: fixed, hybrid, and dynamic. It also summarizes two specific techniques:
1) Using multi-armed bandits to formulate channel and rate selection as a stochastic optimization problem to maximize successful packet transmissions over time. The technique involves learning transmission probabilities on different channel-rate pairs through trials.
2) Using an upper confidence bound (UCB) algorithm for channel selection, where a secondary user selects channels based on both estimated throughput and uncertainty to balance exploitation and exploration of channels.

The study emphasize on three most promising scheduling algorithms such as: FLS, EXP rule and LOG rule.
The performance of these three algorithms is conducted over video traffic in a vehicular environment using
LTE-Sim simulator. The simulation was setup with varying number of users from 10 - 60 in fixed bounded
regions of 1 km radius. The main goal this study is to provide results that will help in the design process of
packet scheduler for LTE cellular networks, aiming to get better overall performance users. Simulation
results show that, the FLS scheme outperforms in terms of average system throughput, average packet
delay, PLR; and with a satisfactory level of fairness index.
Enhanced exponential rule scheduling algorithm for real-time traffic in LTE n...IJECEIAES
Nowadays, mobile communication is growing rapidly and become an everyday commodity. The vast deployment of real-time services in Long Term Evolution (LTE) network demands for the scheduling techniques that support the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. LTE is designed and implemented to fulfill the users’ QoS. However, 3GPP does not define the specific scheduling technique for resource distribution which leads to vast research and development of the scheduling techniques. In this context, a review of the recent scheduling algorithm is reported in the literature. These schedulers in the literature cause high Packet Loss Rate (PLR), low fairness, and high delay. To cope with these disadvantages, we propose an enhanced EXPRULE (eEXPRULE) scheduler to improve the radio resource utilization in the LTE network. Extensive simulation works are carried out and the proposed scheduler provides a significant performance improvement for video application without sacrificing the VoIP performance. The eEXPRULE scheduler increases video throughput, spectrum efficiency, and fairness by 50%, 13%, and 11%, respectively, and reduces the video PLR by 11%.
Macro with pico cells (hetnets) system behaviour using well known scheduling ...ijwmn
This paper demonstrates the concept of using Heterogeneous networks (HetNets) to improve Long Term Evolution (LTE) system by introducing the LTE Advance (LTE-A). The type of HetNets that has been chosen for this study is Macro with Pico cells. Comparing the system performance with and without Pico cells has clearly illustrated using three well-known scheduling algorithms (Proportional Fair PF, Maximum Largest Weighted Delay First MLWDF and Exponential/Proportional Fair EXP/PF). The system is judged based on throughput, Packet Loss Ratio PLR, delay and fairness.. A simulation platform called LTE-Sim has been used to collect the data and produce the paper’s outcomes and graphs. The results prove that adding Pico cells enhances the overall system performance. From the simulation outcomes, the overall system performance is as follows: throughput is duplicated or tripled based on the number of users, the PLR is almost quartered, the delay is nearly reduced ten times (PF case) and changed to be a half (MLWDF/EXP cases), and the fairness stays closer to value of 1. It is considered an efficient and cost effective way to increase the throughput, coverage and reduce the latency.
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF RESOURCE SCHEDULING IN LTE FEMTOCELLS NETWORKScscpconf

In this paper we introduce a performance analysis of three distinct scheduling algorithms of mixed type of traffic flows in LTE femtocells networks. The particularly study is evaluated in terms of throughput, packet loss ratio, fairness index and spectral efficiency.
MECC scheduling algorithm in vehicular environment for uplink transmission in...IJECEIAES
Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) is chosen because of the lower peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) value in uplink transmission. However, the contiguity constraint is one of the major constraint presents in uplink packet scheduling, where all RBs allocated to a single UE must be contiguous in the frequency-domain within each time slot to maintain its single carrier. This paper proposed an uplink-scheduling algorithm namely the Maximum Expansion with Contiguity Constraints (MECC) algorithm, which supports both the RT and NRT services. The MECC algorithm is deployed in two stages. In the first stage, the RBs are allocated fairly among the UEs. The second stage allocates the RBs with the highest metric value and expands the allocation on both sides of the matrix, M with respect to the contiguity constraint. The performance of the MECC algorithm was observed in terms of throughput, fairness, delay, and Packet Loss Ratio (PLR) for VoIP, video and best effort flows. The MECC scheduling algorithm is compared to other algorithms namely the Round Robin (RR), Channel-Dependent First Maximum Expansion (CD-FME), and Proportional Fairness First Maximum Expansion (PF-FME). From here, it can be concluded that the MECC algorithm shows the best results among other algorithms by delivering the highest throughput which is up to 81.29% and 90.04% than CD-FME and RR scheduler for RT and NRT traffic respectively, having low PLR and delay which is up to 93.92% and 56.22% of improvement than CD-FME for the RT traffic flow. The MECC also has a satisfactory level of fairness for the cell-edge users in a vehicular environment of LTE network.

The evolved UTRAN architecture was defined consisting of eNBs interconnected by the X2 interface.
The document describes a proposed unified algorithm for load balancing (LB) and handover optimization (HOO) in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) networks. The algorithm uses a Fuzzy System (FS) tuned by the Q-Learning reinforcement learning algorithm to modify handover parameters at the cell adjacency level. This aims to improve key performance indicators related to both LB and HOO. Simulation results show the proposed joint algorithm provides better performance than independent LB and HOO entities operating simultaneously. The algorithm reduces complexity for the self-organizing network coordination entity by handling LB and HOO jointly rather than as separate functions.

Some of the key driving forces behind the transition from the UMTS based cellular system to the Long Term Evolution Advanced (LTE-A) are to improve the mean and the cell-edge throughput, improve the user fairness, and improve the quality of service (QoS) satisfaction for all users. In the latter system, relays appear as one of the most prominent enabler for improving the cell-edge user experience while increasing the system’s fairness.

Moreover, we analyze resource allocation problem for Relay Nodes (RN) deployments and present some of the solutions for improvement in system resource usage and QoS satisfaction. Afterwards, we introduce the capabilities of NOMOR’s LTE-A system level simulator and evaluate the performance of LTE-A relay systems under the described solutions.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF CARRIER AGGREGATION FOR VARIOUS MOBILE NETWORK IMPLEM...ijwmn
This document analyzes the performance gains of carrier aggregation (CA) for 3 component carriers (3CC) compared to 2CC using a Vienna LTE system level simulator. The results show that 3CC aggregation provides considerably higher average cell throughput than 2CC aggregation, but reduces fairness index. The reduction in fairness index implies the scheduler has a more difficult task allocating resources across the added component carrier. Compensating for the decreased fairness could increase scheduler complexity. In conclusion, aggregating more component carriers through CA can increase bandwidth and data rates but also impacts fairness and scheduling.

This document proposes using Q-learning to optimize handover parameters in 4G networks. It discusses issues with handover like radio link failure from too early or late handover. The proposed approach uses Q-learning, where the environment model includes states defined by combinations of time-to-trigger and hysteresis values, and actions are increasing or decreasing those values. The reward function aims to minimize drops and ping-pongs. Simulation results show this Q-learning approach can optimize handover parameters. Future work could consider interference optimization along with handover.
IRJET- Channel and Rate Selection in Cognitive Radio NetworkIRJET Journal
This document summarizes channel and rate selection techniques in cognitive radio networks. It discusses three main types of channel selection algorithms: fixed, hybrid, and dynamic. It also summarizes two specific techniques:
1) Using multi-armed bandits to formulate channel and rate selection as a stochastic optimization problem to maximize successful packet transmissions over time. The technique involves learning transmission probabilities on different channel-rate pairs through trials.
2) Using an upper confidence bound (UCB) algorithm for channel selection, where a secondary user selects channels based on both estimated throughput and uncertainty to balance exploitation and exploration of channels.

Enhanced exponential rule scheduling algorithm for real-time traffic in LTE n...IJECEIAES
Nowadays, mobile communication is growing rapidly and become an everyday commodity. The vast deployment of real-time services in Long Term Evolution (LTE) network demands for the scheduling techniques that support the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. LTE is designed and implemented to fulfill the users’ QoS. However, 3GPP does not define the specific scheduling technique for resource distribution which leads to vast research and development of the scheduling techniques. In this context, a review of the recent scheduling algorithm is reported in the literature. These schedulers in the literature cause high Packet Loss Rate (PLR), low fairness, and high delay. To cope with these disadvantages, we propose an enhanced EXPRULE (eEXPRULE) scheduler to improve the radio resource utilization in the LTE network. Extensive simulation works are carried out and the proposed scheduler provides a significant performance improvement for video application without sacrificing the VoIP performance. The eEXPRULE scheduler increases video throughput, spectrum efficiency, and fairness by 50%, 13%, and 11%, respectively, and reduces the video PLR by 11%.
Macro with pico cells (hetnets) system behaviour using well known scheduling ...ijwmn
This paper demonstrates the concept of using Heterogeneous networks (HetNets) to improve Long Term Evolution (LTE) system by introducing the LTE Advance (LTE-A). The type of HetNets that has been chosen for this study is Macro with Pico cells. Comparing the system performance with and without Pico cells has clearly illustrated using three well-known scheduling algorithms (Proportional Fair PF, Maximum Largest Weighted Delay First MLWDF and Exponential/Proportional Fair EXP/PF). The system is judged based on throughput, Packet Loss Ratio PLR, delay and fairness.. A simulation platform called LTE-Sim has been used to collect the data and produce the paper’s outcomes and graphs. The results prove that adding Pico cells enhances the overall system performance. From the simulation outcomes, the overall system performance is as follows: throughput is duplicated or tripled based on the number of users, the PLR is almost quartered, the delay is nearly reduced ten times (PF case) and changed to be a half (MLWDF/EXP cases), and the fairness stays closer to value of 1. It is considered an efficient and cost effective way to increase the throughput, coverage and reduce the latency.
PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF RESOURCE SCHEDULING IN LTE FEMTOCELLS NETWORKScscpconf
3GPP has introduced LTE Femtocells to manipulate the traffic for indoor users and to minimize the charge on the Macro cells. A key mechanism in the LTE traffic handling is the packet
scheduler which is in charge of allocating resources to active flows in both the frequency and time dimension. So several scheduling algorithms need to be analyzed for femtocells networks. In this paper we introduce a performance analysis of three distinct scheduling algorithms of mixed type of traffic flows in LTE femtocells networks. The particularly study is evaluated in terms of throughput, packet loss ratio, fairness index and spectral efficiency.
MECC scheduling algorithm in vehicular environment for uplink transmission in...IJECEIAES
Single Carrier Frequency Division Multiple Access (SC-FDMA) is chosen because of the lower peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) value in uplink transmission. However, the contiguity constraint is one of the major constraint presents in uplink packet scheduling, where all RBs allocated to a single UE must be contiguous in the frequency-domain within each time slot to maintain its single carrier. This paper proposed an uplink-scheduling algorithm namely the Maximum Expansion with Contiguity Constraints (MECC) algorithm, which supports both the RT and NRT services. The MECC algorithm is deployed in two stages. In the first stage, the RBs are allocated fairly among the UEs. The second stage allocates the RBs with the highest metric value and expands the allocation on both sides of the matrix, M with respect to the contiguity constraint. The performance of the MECC algorithm was observed in terms of throughput, fairness, delay, and Packet Loss Ratio (PLR) for VoIP, video and best effort flows. The MECC scheduling algorithm is compared to other algorithms namely the Round Robin (RR), Channel-Dependent First Maximum Expansion (CD-FME), and Proportional Fairness First Maximum Expansion (PF-FME). From here, it can be concluded that the MECC algorithm shows the best results among other algorithms by delivering the highest throughput which is up to 81.29% and 90.04% than CD-FME and RR scheduler for RT and NRT traffic respectively, having low PLR and delay which is up to 93.92% and 56.22% of improvement than CD-FME for the RT traffic flow. The MECC also has a satisfactory level of fairness for the cell-edge users in a vehicular environment of LTE network.

Long Term Evolution (LTE) is defined by the Third G
eneration Partnership Project (3GPP)
standards as Release 8/9. The LTE supports at max 2
0 MHz channel bandwidth for a carrier.
The number of LTE users and their applications are
increasing, which increases the demand on
the system BW. A new feature of the LTE-Advanced (L
TE-A) which is defined in the 3GPP
standards as Release 10/11 is called Carrier Aggreg

to aggregate more carriers in-order to provide a hi

three main cases: Intra-band contiguous, Intra-band
non-contiguous, Inter-band contiguous.
The main contribution of this paper was in implemen

Modified Largest Weighted Delay First (MLWDF), the
Exponential Rule (Exp-Rule), and the

Long-Term Evolution (LTE), an emerging and promising fourth generation mobile technology, is expected
to offer ubiquitous broadband access to the mobile subscribers. In this paper, the performance of Frame
Level Scheduler (FLS), Exponential (EXP) rule, Logarithmic (LOG) rule and Maximum-Largest Weighted
Delay First (M-LWDF) packet scheduling algorithms has been studied in the downlink 3GPP LTE cellular
network. To this aim, a single cell with interference scenario has been considered. The performance
evaluation is made by varying the number of UEs ranging from 10 to 50 (Case 1) and user speed in the
range of [3, 120] km/h (Case 2). Results show that while the number of UEs and user speed increases, the
performance of the considered scheduling schemes degrades and in both case FLS outperforms other three
schemes in terms of several performance indexes such as average throughput, packet loss ratio (PLR),
packet delay and fairness index.
LTE Network is the common mobile technology these days around the world and all service providers seek to how improve the network capacity and deliver the best performance in terms of delivered data rates and coverage area. LTE network consists of many protocols that work together to establish network connectivity, these protocols add variable headers that contains many control information that the network needs to operate. At the same time these headers decrease the effective capacity of the network, so there is a need to optimize the overhead size that used in various channels. The study will illustrate the different overheads that effect on the network capacity and investigate the effect of different values on achieving the best network capacity.
1. The document proposes an optimal Threshold Offloading (TO) algorithm to efficiently offload mobile data traffic from macrocells to femtocells in LTE networks. The TO algorithm considers the tradeoff between network signaling overhead from user mobility and femtocell offloading capability.
2. An analytical model is developed to quantify the performance of the TO algorithm and validate it through simulations. The results show that the TO algorithm can significantly reduce signaling overhead with minor reduction in femtocell offloading capability.
3. The paper provides network operators guidelines to set optimal offloading thresholds according to their management policies, offering a systematic approach based on the mathematical analysis.

Here a new MAC scheduling mechanism for the downlink of LTE systems named Channel and Qos Aware Scheduler is analyzed. This scheduler is based on a Channel and QoS aware algorithm which performs joint time and frequency scheduling. The relevance of the scheduler comes in to play in a situation in which the number of data hungry users are at the rising edge and they demand for traffics that have very tight QoS requirement in terms of bit rate and delay.eg:- VoIP, Video conferencing & Online Gaming. The performance of the scheduler is evaluated by means of network simulations in LTE single cell scenario with mixed traffic and compared the results with state of the art LTE downlink schedule rs. The results shows that in a realistic scenario in which quality of channel varies over time as well a s frequency, CQA scheduler significantly outperforms other schedulers in terms of provided Q oS.

A downlink scheduler supporting real time services in LTE cellular networksUniversity of Piraeus
The wide spread of real-time services in wireless networks demands scheduling mechanisms supporting strict Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Nevertheless, the specifications of the LTE standard for mobile connectivity defined by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) does not impose any specific scheduler for the proper allocation of resources to services. Therefore, several LTE schedulers have been proposed in the literature meeting the QoS requirements of modern services. In this paper a QoS aware scheduler for the LTE downlink is proposed namely the FLS-Advanced (FLSA) aiming at prioritizing real-time traffic. The proposed scheduler has been built on three distinct levels assigning the available radio resources to services according to their requirements. Based on simulation results, the FLSA outperforms in terms of packet loss ratio, attainable throughput and fairness the performance of existing schedulers including PF, MLWDF, EXP/PF, FLS, EXP RULE and LOG RULE.

A Novel Approach for Cell Selection and Synchronization in LTE-AdvancedT. L. Singal
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the result of the standardization work done by the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) to achieve a new high speed radio access in the mobile communications frame. Cell selection by a mobile UE is another issue in LTE. In particularly, an interesting challenge in the physical layer of LTE is how the mobile unit immediately after powering on, select a radio cell and locks on to it. More specifically, to understand how the mobile unit establishes the connection with the strongest cell station in surrounding region. To do this, the mobile unit has to overcome the challenges of estimating the channel to communicate with the cell site and frequency synchronization. To appropriately synchronize the mobile unit with the base station when multiple mobile unit are communicating with same receiver from various distances.

Performing Network Simulators of TCP with E2E Network Model over UMTS NetworksAM Publications,India
Wireless links losses result in poor TCP throughput since losses are perceived as congestion by TCP with the evolution of 3G technologies like Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), the usage of TCP has become more popular for a reliable end-to-end (e2e) data delivery. However, TCP was initially designed for wired networks and therefore it suffers performance degradation due to the radio signal getting affected by fading, shadowing and interference. There are many strategies proposed by the research community on how to improve the performance of TCP over wireless links such as introducing link-layer retransmission, explicitly notifying the sender of network conditions or using new variants of TCP. As UMTS network coverage and availability are currently experiencing rapid growth, optimization of various internal components of its wireless network is very important. One of the optimization is the introduction of High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA). This architecture not only allows higher data rates but also more reliable data transfer by the introduction of Hybrid ARQ (HARQ). With this enhancement to the UMTS network, it becomes vital to see the performance of TCP in such a network. Therefore in this thesis, we try to evaluate two aspects of UMTS networks: first, the impact of HSDPA parameters like scheduling algorithm and RLC/MAC-hs buffer size on overall performance of TCP and second, to study the behaviour of two categories of TCP rate and flow control: loss based and delay based. Our simulation shows that delay based TCP tends to perform better than loss based TCP in our selected scenarios. The simulations are performed using the network simulator NS-2 with an e2e network model for enhanced UMTS (EURANE).

Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Wide application of proportional-integral-differential (PID)-regulator in industry requires constant improvement of methods of its parameters adjustment. The paper deals with the issues of optimization of PID-regulator parameters with the use of neural network technology methods. A methodology for choosing the architecture (structure) of neural network optimizer is proposed, which consists in determining the number of layers, the number of neurons in each layer, as well as the form and type of activation function. Algorithms of neural network training based on the application of the method of minimizing the mismatch between the regulated value and the target value are developed. The method of back propagation of gradients is proposed to select the optimal training rate of neurons of the neural network. The neural network optimizer, which is a superstructure of the linear PID controller, allows increasing the regulation accuracy from 0.23 to 0.09, thus reducing the power consumption from 65% to 53%. The results of the conducted experiments allow us to conclude that the created neural superstructure may well become a prototype of an automatic voltage regulator (AVR)-type industrial controller for tuning the parameters of the PID controller.

A review on features and methods of potential fishing zoneIJECEIAES
This review focuses on the importance of identifying potential fishing zones in seawater for sustainable fishing practices. It explores features like sea surface temperature (SST) and sea surface height (SSH), along with classification methods such as classifiers. The features like SST, SSH, and different classifiers used to classify the data, have been figured out in this review study. This study underscores the importance of examining potential fishing zones using advanced analytical techniques. It thoroughly explores the methodologies employed by researchers, covering both past and current approaches. The examination centers on data characteristics and the application of classification algorithms for classification of potential fishing zones. Furthermore, the prediction of potential fishing zones relies significantly on the effectiveness of classification algorithms. Previous research has assessed the performance of models like support vector machines, naïve Bayes, and artificial neural networks (ANN). In the previous result, the results of support vector machine (SVM) were 97.6% more accurate than naive Bayes's 94.2% to classify test data for fisheries classification. By considering the recent works in this area, several recommendations for future works are presented to further improve the performance of the potential fishing zone models, which is important to the fisheries community.

As demand for smaller, quicker, and more powerful devices rises, Moore's law is strictly followed. The industry has worked hard to make little devices that boost productivity. The goal is to optimize device density. Scientists are reducing connection delays to improve circuit performance. This helped them understand three-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) concepts, which stack active devices and create vertical connections to diminish latency and lower interconnects. Electrical involvement is a big worry with 3D integrates circuits. Researchers have developed and tested through silicon via (TSV) and substrates to decrease electrical wave involvement.

Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants.

examine the role of women in addressing the climate change. The analysis's
findings discussed the relevant to the sustainable development goals (SDGs),
particularly SDG 7 and SDG 13. The results considered contributions made
by women in the various sectors while taking geographic dispersion into
account. The bibliometric analysis delves into topics including women's
leadership in environmental groups, their involvement in policymaking, their
contributions to sustainable development projects, and the influence of
gender diversity on attempts to mitigate climate change. This study's results
highlight how women have influenced policies and actions related to climate
change, point out areas of research deficiency and recommendations on how
to increase role of the women in addressing the climate change and
achieving sustainability. To achieve more successful results, this initiative
aims to highlight the significance of gender equality and encourage
inclusivity in climate change decision-making processes.
Voltage and frequency control of microgrid in presence of micro-turbine inter...IJECEIAES
The active and reactive load changes have a significant impact on voltage
and frequency. In this paper, in order to stabilize the microgrid (MG) against
load variations in islanding mode, the active and reactive power of all
distributed generators (DGs), including energy storage (battery), diesel
generator, and micro-turbine, are controlled. The micro-turbine generator is
connected to MG through a three-phase to three-phase matrix converter, and
the droop control method is applied for controlling the voltage and
frequency of MG. In addition, a method is introduced for voltage and
frequency control of micro-turbines in the transition state from gridconnected mode to islanding mode. A novel switching strategy of the matrix
converter is used for converting the high-frequency output voltage of the
micro-turbine to the grid-side frequency of the utility system. Moreover,
using the switching strategy, the low-order harmonics in the output current
and voltage are not produced, and consequently, the size of the output filter
would be reduced. In fact, the suggested control strategy is load-independent
and has no frequency conversion restrictions. The proposed approach for
voltage and frequency regulation demonstrates exceptional performance and
favorable response across various load alteration scenarios. The suggested
strategy is examined in several scenarios in the MG test systems, and the
simulation results are addressed.

Precisely characterizing Li-ion batteries is essential for optimizing their
performance, enhancing safety, and prolonging their lifespan across various
applications, such as electric vehicles and renewable energy systems. This
article introduces an innovative nonlinear methodology for system
identification of a Li-ion battery, employing a nonlinear autoregressive with
exogenous inputs (NARX) model. The proposed approach integrates the
benefits of nonlinear modeling with the adaptability of the NARX structure,
facilitating a more comprehensive representation of the intricate
electrochemical processes within the battery. Experimental data collected
from a Li-ion battery operating under diverse scenarios are employed to
validate the effectiveness of the proposed methodology. The identified
NARX model exhibits superior accuracy in predicting the battery's behavior
compared to traditional linear models. This study underscores the
importance of accounting for nonlinearities in battery modeling, providing
insights into the intricate relationships between state-of-charge, voltage, and
current under dynamic conditions.
Smart grid deployment: from a bibliometric analysis to a surveyIJECEIAES
Smart grids are one of the last decades' innovations in electrical energy.
They bring relevant advantages compared to the traditional grid and
significant interest from the research community. Assessing the field's
evolution is essential to propose guidelines for facing new and future smart
grid challenges. In addition, knowing the main technologies involved in the
deployment of smart grids (SGs) is important to highlight possible
shortcomings that can be mitigated by developing new tools. This paper
contributes to the research trends mentioned above by focusing on two
objectives. First, a bibliometric analysis is presented to give an overview of
the current research level about smart grid deployment. Second, a survey of
the main technological approaches used for smart grid implementation and
their contributions are highlighted. To that effect, we searched the Web of
Science (WoS), and the Scopus databases. We obtained 5,663 documents
from WoS and 7,215 from Scopus on smart grid implementation or
deployment. With the extraction limitation in the Scopus database, 5,872 of
the 7,215 documents were extracted using a multi-step process. These two
datasets have been analyzed using a bibliometric tool called bibliometrix.
The main outputs are presented with some recommendations for future
research.
Use of analytical hierarchy process for selecting and prioritizing islanding ...IJECEIAES
One of the problems that are associated to power systems is islanding
condition, which must be rapidly and properly detected to prevent any
negative consequences on the system's protection, stability, and security.
This paper offers a thorough overview of several islanding detection
strategies, which are divided into two categories: classic approaches,
including local and remote approaches, and modern techniques, including
techniques based on signal processing and computational intelligence.
Additionally, each approach is compared and assessed based on several
factors, including implementation costs, non-detected zones, declining
power quality, and response times using the analytical hierarchy process
(AHP). The multi-criteria decision-making analysis shows that the overall
weight of passive methods (24.7%), active methods (7.8%), hybrid methods
(5.6%), remote methods (14.5%), signal processing-based methods (26.6%),
and computational intelligent-based methods (20.8%) based on the
comparison of all criteria together. Thus, it can be seen from the total weight
that hybrid approaches are the least suitable to be chosen, while signal
processing-based methods are the most appropriate islanding detection
method to be selected and implemented in power system with respect to the
aforementioned factors. Using Expert Choice software, the proposed
hierarchy model is studied and examined.
Enhancing of single-stage grid-connected photovoltaic system using fuzzy logi...IJECEIAES
The power generated by photovoltaic (PV) systems is influenced by
environmental factors. This variability hampers the control and utilization of
solar cells' peak output. In this study, a single-stage grid-connected PV
system is designed to enhance power quality. Our approach employs fuzzy
logic in the direct power control (DPC) of a three-phase voltage source
inverter (VSI), enabling seamless integration of the PV connected to the
grid. Additionally, a fuzzy logic-based maximum power point tracking
(MPPT) controller is adopted, which outperforms traditional methods like
incremental conductance (INC) in enhancing solar cell efficiency and
minimizing the response time. Moreover, the inverter's real-time active and
reactive power is directly managed to achieve a unity power factor (UPF).
The system's performance is assessed through MATLAB/Simulink
implementation, showing marked improvement over conventional methods,
particularly in steady-state and varying weather conditions. For solar
irradiances of 500 and 1,000 W/m2
, the results show that the proposed
method reduces the total harmonic distortion (THD) of the injected current
to the grid by approximately 46% and 38% compared to conventional
methods, respectively. Furthermore, we compare the simulation results with
IEEE standards to evaluate the system's grid compatibility.
Enhancing photovoltaic system maximum power point tracking with fuzzy logic-b...IJECEIAES
Photovoltaic systems have emerged as a promising energy resource that
caters to the future needs of society, owing to their renewable, inexhaustible,
and cost-free nature. The power output of these systems relies on solar cell
radiation and temperature. In order to mitigate the dependence on
atmospheric conditions and enhance power tracking, a conventional
approach has been improved by integrating various methods. To optimize
the generation of electricity from solar systems, the maximum power point
tracking (MPPT) technique is employed. To overcome limitations such as
steady-state voltage oscillations and improve transient response, two
traditional MPPT methods, namely fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and perturb
and observe (P&O), have been modified. This research paper aims to
simulate and validate the step size of the proposed modified P&O and FLC
techniques within the MPPT algorithm using MATLAB/Simulink for
efficient power tracking in photovoltaic systems.
Adaptive synchronous sliding control for a robot manipulator based on neural ...IJECEIAES
Robot manipulators have become important equipment in production lines, medical fields, and transportation. Improving the quality of trajectory tracking for
robot hands is always an attractive topic in the research community. This is a
challenging problem because robot manipulators are complex nonlinear systems
and are often subject to fluctuations in loads and external disturbances. This
article proposes an adaptive synchronous sliding control scheme to improve trajectory tracking performance for a robot manipulator. The proposed controller
ensures that the positions of the joints track the desired trajectory, synchronize
the errors, and significantly reduces chattering. First, the synchronous tracking
errors and synchronous sliding surfaces are presented. Second, the synchronous
tracking error dynamics are determined. Third, a robust adaptive control law is
designed,the unknown components of the model are estimated online by the neural network, and the parameters of the switching elements are selected by fuzzy
logic. The built algorithm ensures that the tracking and approximation errors
are ultimately uniformly bounded (UUB). Finally, the effectiveness of the constructed algorithm is demonstrated through simulation and experimental results.
Simulation and experimental results show that the proposed controller is effective with small synchronous tracking errors, and the chattering phenomenon is
significantly reduced.

A remote laboratory utilizing field-programmable gate array (FPGA) technologies enhances students’ learning experience anywhere and anytime in embedded system design. Existing remote laboratories prioritize hardware access and visual feedback for observing board behavior after programming, neglecting comprehensive debugging tools to resolve errors that require internal signal acquisition. This paper proposes a novel remote embeddedsystem design approach targeting FPGA technologies that are fully interactive via a web-based platform. Our solution provides FPGA board access and debugging capabilities beyond the visual feedback provided by existing remote laboratories. We implemented a lab module that allows users to seamlessly incorporate into their FPGA design. The module minimizes hardware resource utilization while enabling the acquisition of a large number of data samples from the signal during the experiments by adaptively compressing the signal prior to data transmission. The results demonstrate an average compression ratio of 2.90 across three benchmark signals, indicating efficient signal acquisition and effective debugging and analysis. This method allows users to acquire more data samples than conventional methods. The proposed lab allows students to remotely test and debug their designs, bridging the gap between theory and practice in embedded system design.

Efficiently identifying and resolving code smells enhances software project quality. This paper presents a novel solution, utilizing automated machine learning (AutoML) techniques, to detect code smells and apply move method refactoring. By evaluating code metrics before and after refactoring, we assessed its impact on coupling, complexity, and cohesion. Key contributions of this research include a unique dataset for code smell classification and the development of models using AutoGluon for optimal performance. Furthermore, the study identifies the top 20 influential features in classifying feature envy, a well-known code smell, stemming from excessive reliance on external classes. We also explored how move method refactoring addresses feature envy, revealing reduced coupling and complexity, and improved cohesion, ultimately enhancing code quality. In summary, this research offers an empirical, data-driven approach, integrating AutoML and move method refactoring to optimize software project quality. Insights gained shed light on the benefits of refactoring on code quality and the significance of specific features in detecting feature envy. Future research can expand to explore additional refactoring techniques and a broader range of code metrics, advancing software engineering practices and standards.

Rapidly and remotely monitoring and receiving the solar cell systems status parameters, solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity, are critical issues in enhancement their efficiency. Hence, in the present article an improved smart prototype of internet of things (IoT) technique based on embedded system through NodeMCU ESP8266 (ESP-12E) was carried out experimentally. Three different regions at Egypt; Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira cities were chosen to study their solar irradiance profile, temperature, and humidity by the proposed IoT system. The monitoring data of solar irradiance, temperature, and humidity were live visualized directly by Ubidots through hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) protocol. The measured solar power radiation in Luxor, Cairo, and El-Beheira ranged between 216-1000, 245-958, and 187-692 W/m 2 respectively during the solar day. The accuracy and rapidity of obtaining monitoring results using the proposed IoT system made it a strong candidate for application in monitoring solar cell systems. On the other hand, the obtained solar power radiation results of the three considered regions strongly candidate Luxor and Cairo as suitable places to build up a solar cells system station rather than El-Beheira.
An efficient security framework for intrusion detection and prevention in int...IJECEIAES
Over the past few years, the internet of things (IoT) has advanced to connect billions of smart devices to improve quality of life. However, anomalies or malicious intrusions pose several security loopholes, leading to performance degradation and threat to data security in IoT operations. Thereby, IoT security systems must keep an eye on and restrict unwanted events from occurring in the IoT network. Recently, various technical solutions based on machine learning (ML) models have been derived towards identifying and restricting unwanted events in IoT. However, most ML-based approaches are prone to miss-classification due to inappropriate feature selection. Additionally, most ML approaches applied to intrusion detection and prevention consider supervised learning, which requires a large amount of labeled data to be trained. Consequently, such complex datasets are impossible to source in a large network like IoT. To address this problem, this proposed study introduces an efficient learning mechanism to strengthen the IoT security aspects. The proposed algorithm incorporates supervised and unsupervised approaches to improve the learning models for intrusion detection and mitigation. Compared with the related works, the experimental outcome shows that the model performs well in a benchmark dataset. It accomplishes an improved detection accuracy of approximately 99.21%.
Prediction of Electrical Energy Efficiency Using Information on Consumer's Ac...PriyankaKilaniya
Energy efficiency has been important since the latter part of the last century. The main object of this survey is to determine the energy efficiency knowledge among consumers. Two separate districts in Bangladesh are selected to conduct the survey on households and showrooms about the energy and seller also. The survey uses the data to find some regression equations from which it is easy to predict energy efficiency knowledge. The data is analyzed and calculated based on five important criteria. The initial target was to find some factors that help predict a person's energy efficiency knowledge. From the survey, it is found that the energy efficiency awareness among the people of our country is very low. Relationships between household energy use behaviors are estimated using a unique dataset of about 40 households and 20 showrooms in Bangladesh's Chapainawabganj and Bagerhat districts. Knowledge of energy consumption and energy efficiency technology options is found to be associated with household use of energy conservation practices. Household characteristics also influence household energy use behavior. Younger household cohorts are more likely to adopt energy-efficient technologies and energy conservation practices and place primary importance on energy saving for environmental reasons. Education also influences attitudes toward energy conservation in Bangladesh. Low-education households indicate they primarily save electricity for the environment while high-education households indicate they are motivated by environmental concerns.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELijaia
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Applications of artificial Intelligence in Mechanical Engineering.pdfAtif Razi
Historically, mechanical engineering has relied heavily on human expertise and empirical methods to solve complex problems. With the introduction of computer-aided design (CAD) and finite element analysis (FEA), the field took its first steps towards digitization. These tools allowed engineers to simulate and analyze mechanical systems with greater accuracy and efficiency. However, the sheer volume of data generated by modern engineering systems and the increasing complexity of these systems have necessitated more advanced analytical tools, paving the way for AI.
AI offers the capability to process vast amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions with a level of speed and accuracy unattainable by traditional methods. This has profound implications for mechanical engineering, enabling more efficient design processes, predictive maintenance strategies, and optimized manufacturing operations. AI-driven tools can learn from historical data, adapt to new information, and continuously improve their performance, making them invaluable in tackling the multifaceted challenges of modern mechanical engineering.
Accident detection system project report.pdfKamal Acharya
The Rapid growth of technology and infrastructure has made our lives easier. The
advent of technology has also increased the traffic hazards and the road accidents take place
frequently which causes huge loss of life and property because of the poor emergency facilities.
Many lives could have been saved if emergency service could get accident information and
reach in time. Our project will provide an optimum solution to this draw back. A piezo electric
sensor can be used as a crash or rollover detector of the vehicle during and after a crash. With
signals from a piezo electric sensor, a severe accident can be recognized. According to this
project when a vehicle meets with an accident immediately piezo electric sensor will detect the
signal or if a car rolls over. Then with the help of GSM module and GPS module, the location
will be sent to the emergency contact. Then after conforming the location necessary action will
be taken. If the person meets with a small accident or if there is no serious threat to anyone’s
life, then the alert message can be terminated by the driver by a switch provided in order to
avoid wasting the valuable time of the medical rescue team.

Exponential MLWDF (EXP-MLWDF) Downlink Scheduling Algorithm Evaluated in LTE … (Ismail Angri)
1619
Both TDD and FDD modes are used to operate an LTE network. As can be seen in Figure 1, the
LTE frame in the FDD mode has duration of 10 ms, divided into 10 subframes with duration of 1 ms. Each
subframe consists of two time slots of 500ns. A number of six or seven OFDM symbols represent a single
slot [4].
Figure 1. LTE Frame structure [5]
The objectives of LTE are to support high mobility and to avoid network congestion [6]. As in the
case of uplinkbands [7], downlink scheduling algorithms must ensure a good sharing of existing radio
resources, and especially in the case of real-time traffic (Video and VOIP streams) [8].
The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the performance of the new proposed algorithm in LTE
system, named Exponential Modified Largest Weighted Delay First „EXP-MLWDF‟, for high mobility
scenario, with the presence of a large number of active users.
2. SCHEDULING STRATEGIES
The MAC (Medium Access Control) layer is the responsible layer at the base station of the
scheduling process. In LTE, the separation between uplink and downlink scheduling decisions is assured, and
the management of both types is independent. A parameter called CQI (Channel Quality Indicator) represents
the status of the channel and gives information about its characteristics; this information is used by the
scheduler for decision making [9]. At each time period called TTI (Transmission Time Interval), the CQI
report is updated [10].
The scheduling strategies in uplink and downlink have been programmed separately in a Multi-
cell/multi-user environment in the LTE-sim simulator. These models take into account all the real parameters
that influences those decisions such as user mobility, frequency reuse techniques and radio resource
management [11].
The new LTE network architecture defined by 3GPP is based on simplicity. The creation of a Full-
IP system was made with the aim of improving mainly the throughput and the transmission delay compared
to the UMTS networks [12]. A dedicated frequency spectrum for the LTE network can be used to avoid
problems of incompatibility with other wireless networks systems [13].
The main protocols configured in the eNb and used in the two levels Control and User Plane are
illustrated in Figure 2, in addition to the different functions of the two layers 1 and 2 [14].
The protocol stack for the User Plane consists of multiple sub-layers: PDCP (Packet Data
Convergence Protocol) which provides its services to the upper layers, among these services the transfer of
user plane data, transfer of control plane data and header compression. RLC (Radio Link Control) used on
the radio interface for reliable data transmission. MAC (Media Access Control) which is responsible for the
access control to the medium and PHY (the physical layer) which is responsible for the effective transmission
of the radio waves [15].
The protocol stack for the control Plane is composed on the PDCP, RLC, MAC, PHY ans RRC
sublayers. The scheduling process and the CQI (Channel Quality Indicator) manager that receives the CQI
reports (that are very useful for the scheduling decisions) for Downlink traffic are performed by those
presented in protocol stack sublayers [16]. The MAC sub layers of the eNb have several objectives. They

construct, send, receive and process transport blocks that contain a series of user-plane data from one or more
bearers.
Figure 2. LTE Protocols Stack
In order to optimize the system performance and meet QoS client requirements, radio resources
must be assigned to the customer in an efficient manner. And to do this, the MAC scheduler runs the
scheduling algorithms that determine how the channels are used in the air interface and that in both downlink
and Uplink modes. In Figure 3, a model representation of a simplified packet scheduler in the downlink LTE
system is shown.
Figure 3. Packet Scheduling Model in LTE System
Different sequences of a specific scheduler are used to calculate the instantaneous metrics assigned
to each separated stream. We assume that the metric assigned to stream i on j-th sub-channel is defined by
wi,j. To calculate the metric by each scheduler, two main parameters are mandatory, namely: the available
flow rate to the UE on the j-th sub-channel and the average transmission rate ̅ of flow i [17].
In the next equation we give an estimation representation of ̅ . This value is calculated at each TTI
using ̅ as the average transmission data rate estimated at the (k-1)-th TTI and is the rate
allocated to i-th flow during the k-th TTI:

Exponential MLWDF (EXP-MLWDF) Downlink Scheduling Algorithm Evaluated in LTE … (Ismail Angri)
1621
In the following, a summary description of three different scheduling algorithms that are used in all
simulation scenarios, these are: PF as well as EXP-PF and MLWDF, In addition to other well-known
algorithms.
2.1. Proportional fair (PF)
With the main objective of ensuring fairness between the different data streams transmitted to each
UE and also to achieve a maximum total network throughput, the PF (Proportional Fair) scheduler was
introduced to assign the radio resources to different users and this based on the characteristics of the channel
as well as the history of the flows rate of the previous transmissions.
For this scheduler, We can define ri,j by taking into consideration the CQI value on the j-th sub-
channel which is sent by the UE who is intended for i-th flow. This parameter is calculated using the AMC
module. The metric is then the ratio between the instantaneous flow available for i-th flow and the medium
flow that was calculated at the moment (k-1) [18], [19].
̅̅̅
(2)
2.2. Exponential proportional fairness (EXP/PF)
To promote the real time traffic, The EXP/PF algorithm was introduced. It requires the not
exceeding of a defined delay threshold given the criticality of the real-time RT flows with respect to non-
Real time NRT flows.Its main goal is the processing of the multimedia services, especially in an Adaptive
Coding & Modulation/Time Division Multiplexing (ACM/TDM) system [20].
For real time flows, the metric is calculated by using the following equations [20]:
(
√
) ̅̅̅
(3)
Where DHOL,i is the Head of line Delay, and X is given by [19]:
∑ (4)
With Nrt is the number of active real time flows in downlink direction.
2.3. Logarithm rule (LOG-Rule)
To give much more QoS support to the network [9]. The metric for the LOG rule is given as:
( ) (5)
Where Signifies the channels spectral efficiency with the i-th user at the j-th RB, for 1 ≤ i ≤ N.
However it was found that to get much better performance [15], it‟s better to declare the constraints αi, bi,
and c as follow:
* + [
( )
] (6)
in the previous equation represents the packet delay threshold for each RT flow at the moment of
scheduling.
2.4. Exponential rule (EXP-Rule)
To be more robust, and to have improvements in delay and throughput [15], The EXP rule scheduler
metric is defined as follows [21], [22]:
(
√( ) ∑
) (7)
5. ISSN: 2088-8708

Where the following constraint‟s values are the same as Log Rule‟s parameters:
* + [
( )
] (8)
2.5. Modified largest weighted delay first (MLWDF)
The classification of the streams according to their type (Real-time or not Real-time) is used by this
algorithm to promote the real time flows which have the best propagation conditions and the highest time, in
order to be transmitted at first in the canal. The M-LWDF metric is defined by [17]:
̅̅̅
(9)
Where and ̅ have the same signification as cited in Nomenclature chapter and αi is given by:
(10)
αi is defined with considering τ as a time threshold package and δ as the maximum probability that
the delay DHOL,i exceeds the threshold time [16].
3. THE PROPOSED EXPONENTIAL MLWDF (EXP-MLWDF)
The channel conditions play an important role in wireless communication systems to maximize the
throughput obtained by the user. We define ri,j as the current data rate that could be used by the i-th user on
the j-th sub-channel at time t. Thus, users who have a better channel condition will get higher priority to send
their packages. So we can propose the metric as shown below:
(11)
Therefore, we need to consider the users who don‟t have a good channel conditions. Thus, users will
be punished. Hence the necessity to consider the estimated average transmission data rate at the (k-1)-th
Transmission Time Interval (TTI). So the new metric must be:
̅̅̅
(12)
For each real-time data streams and similar to MLWDF algorithm, we define αi according to the
Equation (10).
From the QoS information‟s sent to the eNodeB by the users we can get the Head of line Delay
DHOL,i for the i-th user, which is an important parameter that we must take in consideration. Normally to
further the users who don‟t have good channel conditions, the smaller the difference between the deadline
delay and the time spend in queue DHOL,i, the higher metric must be. This is explained by the term:
( )
(13)
If we applied the exponential function to the previous term, the critical conditions can be served:

When we combined all the cited parameters, we obtained the proposed algorithm as defined below:

4. SIMULATION, RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The different performances of our proposed algorithm are tested in comparison with the other
algorithms already existing. To do that, an open source tool named LTE-Sim was used. It is a simulator based
on different classes programmed in C++ to represent the models of all the techniques and components of a
4G network layers and sublayers. The different classes can be extended to meet the needs of each user [23].
The various aspects necessary for a real simulation of UpLink and DownLink scheduling strategies
in a Multi-Cell/Multi-User environment have been well integrated into the software.
Before starting the simulation in the chosen tool, the definition of a real scenario is mandatory; its
role is to fix the different parameters and characteristics to simulate. For example, in our case, a Single Cell
with Interference scenario was adopted. Our environment contains 3 cells, each one have a radius of 1 Km.
Users (which have a defined number between 10 and 100) moves randomly between the cells using the
RANDOM_WALK mobility model with a high speed of 120 km/h. They are uniformly distributed in the
three cells. The simulation results were established for the period of which the UEs move inside the cell.
Each user receives an H.264 Video stream, a VoIP stream, and BE flows modeled by Infinite Buffer.
The purpose of this simulation is to evaluate the performance of our new proposed scheduling
algorithm in LTE Network, for this we compared its performances with the well-known algorithms such as
the PF, M-LWDF and EXP-PF schedulers [21], by measuring packet latency (the delay), Packet Loss Ratio
(PLR) and packet throughput. The simulation parameters are illustrated in the following Table 1.

4.1. The measurement of packet latency (delay)
Latency has a most noticeable influence on Network performance. Especially for conversational
services, such as VoIP and Video Flows that require low latency [22]. Other services that benefit from low
delay are gaming and applications with extensive handshaking, such as emails.
Latency and TTI (Transmission Time Interval) are two interrelated parameters. It is difficult to
improve one of them without the degradation of the other.
4.1.1. The VOIP flows
The Figure 4 demonstrates that the proposed algorithm presents a very low delay and its stable even
the increase of the user‟s number. The same behavior is observed for EXP-PF, EXP-Rule, LOG-Rule end
MLWDF algorithms. For the PF algorithm, the delay shows highest value compared with the other
algorithms by the increase of users starting with 45 UE‟s.

Figure 4. The Delay for VOIP Flows
4.1.2. For video flows
As we can see in Figure 5, The Video delay is very low for the EXP-MLWDF, our proposed
scheduling algorithm, even the increment of user‟s number, comparing with PF and algorithms which
presents a higher delay that increase exponentially with the increase of the user‟s number to get for 100 UE‟s
15 s which is not acceptable by the norms. The other algorithms present approximately the same behavior as
our proposed algorithm.

4.2. The measurement of packet loss ratio (PLR)
The improvement of PLR estimation is a critical issue, because Packet Loss Ratio has a big effect on
the network performance, especially when dealing with the real-time traffic such as VOIP and Video
Flows [2].
4.2.1. The VOIP flows
The Packet Loss Ratio has given in Figure 6, it shows that our scheduling algorithm „EXP-
MLWDF‟ presents a very low packet loss ratio that stay negligible until 50 UEs, starting from 50 UEs, our
algorithm continues to present the low value compared with other algorithms in which the PLR starts to
increase exponentially with the increase of the user‟s number, for 100 UE‟s EXP-MLWDF get very low
value about 12% compared with others algorithms which get about 40%.

Figure 6. The Packet Loss Ratio (PLR) for VoIP Flow
4.2.2. For video flows
The Packet Loss Ratio for video flows is given on Figure 7, it is noticed that the PLR given by our
proposed algorithm is the lowest comparing with other algorithms such as MLWDF, EXP/PF, LOG-Rule,
EXP-Rule and especially PF who shows a dramatic increase by the increase of the user‟s number. In high
mobility scenario and with the presence of a big number of users in the cell, the PLR value is very large,
about 90 % for all the compared algorithms with the distinction of our algorithm which continue to present
the low PLR value.

4.3. The measurement of packets throughput
The Packets Throughput is measured on the basis of the average success rate of the different packets
transmitted to the destination using the appropriate radio channel [2].
4.3.1. For VOIP flows
The packet throughput for VOIP flows increases exponentially with the number of users, and it‟s the
same for all the scheduling algorithms, with the distinction of our proposed algorithm „EXP-MLWDF‟ that
presents a high throughput. The EXP-PF presents the lower throughput value (see Figure 8).

Figure 8. The packets throughput for VOIP Flows
4.3.2. For video flows
Figure 9 represents the Video packet throughput. It shows that the throughput for the entire
scheduling algorithms increases as long as the number of users increases until 30 UEs. The proposed
algorithm „EXP-MLWDF‟ presents the very high throughput even the increase of the user‟s number, this
throughput value starts to decrease starting from 30 UEs from 1 Mbit/s to 600 Kbit/s for 100 UEs. The PF
scheduler presents the very low throughput compared with other algorithms.

5. CONCLUSION
In this paper, our work focused on packet scheduling issues in the downlink of 3GPP LTE networks.
We proposed a new algorithm named EXP-MLWDF, and we compared its performances with some well-
known algorithms, such as the proportional fairness algorithm (PF), Exponential Proportional Fairness
(EXP/PF), the Modified Largest Weighted Delay First (MLWDF), the LOG-Rule and the EXP-Rule, for high
mobility scenario with the presence of a big number of users. This comparison is conducted in terms of
packet delay, Packet loss ratio „PLR‟ and Throughput. Simulation results have confirmed that our algorithm
is more advanced and satisfies QoS requirements of Real Time services. Our future work will be devoted to
propose an algorithm for the Uplink pathway to achieve the best overall system performance.
