Improved Delay Priority Resource Scheduling with Low Packet Loss Rate for MBMS in LTE Systems

An improved delay priority resource scheduling algorithm with low packet loss rate for multimedia broadcast multicast service (MBMS) in long term evolution (LTE) systems is proposed in this paper. Real-time services in LTE systems require lower delay and packet loss rate. However, it is difficult to meet the QoS requirements of real-time services using the current MBMS resource scheduling algorithm. The proposed algorithm in this paper jointly considers user delay information and real-time channel conditions. By introducing the user delay information, the lower delay and fairness of users are guaranteed. Meanwhile, by considering the channel conditions of users, the packet loss rate can be effectively reduced, improving the system throughput. Simulation results show that under the premise of ensuring the delay requirements of real-time services, the proposed algorithm achieves a lower packet loss rate compared to other existing algorithms. Furthermore, it can achieve a good balance between system throughput and user fairness.
