Optimized MCE scheduling algorithm to allocate radio resources using evolved Round Robin scheduling

Abstract

The idea is to build an architecture to deliver services like broadcast and multicast over an existing infrastructure using LTE Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service in a Single Frequency Network Area. Video on demand is the current demand from everyone and which is in a high rise and the mobile operators are in a plan of migrating their current IP based infrastructure of LTE to attain new business in the market, online gaming, radio broadcast, webcast, live streaming apps, file sharing are the other services. Many mobile users wanted to have TV support on their mobiles to watch movies, promos and so on. A set of first solutions to this requirement was Media FLO, DVB-H/DVB-T, ISDB-T etc. So from user point of view, it was very good since they can have both mobile phone and TV on a single device with a small extra cost. But for the service provider's point of view, it is not that simple story. Mobile phone network and mobile TV network is totally different and separate, so it is big investment to deploy the network for mobile TV. In view, we can have another simple and powerful broadcasting mechanism for radio broadcast globally. The expected demand is only met when the current serving infrastructure is upgraded. To achieve this one possible solution would be LTE cell transmission with eMBMS. Using this the available bandwidth can be effectively utilized and required content can be delivered with an optimized eMBMS. Long Term Evolution (LTE) is a bi-directional and IP based service which is best used when serving such kind of services. Commercial systems need to be installed to effectively cater the needs. The main objective of the proposed solution is to address the future needs with few key optimizations. The main objective is to optimize the MCE scheduling algorithm using evolved Round Robin technique is to serve more contents to users with optimized radio resource allocation in this paper.
