Abstract
We analyze the delay performance of small cell networks operating under random scheduling (RS) and round Robin (RR) protocols. Based on stochastic geometry and queuing theory, we derive accurate and tractable expressions for the distribution of mean delay, which accounts for the impact of random traffic arrivals, queuing interactions, and failed packet retransmissions. Our analysis asserts that RR outperforms RS in terms of mean delay, regardless of traffic statistic. Moreover, the gain from RR is more pronounced in the presence of heavy traffic, which confirms the importance of accounting fairness in the design of scheduling policy. We also find that constrained on the same delay outage probability, RR is able to support more user equipments than that of RS, demonstrating it as an appropriate candidate for the traffic scheduling policy of Internet-of-Things network.
