A NOVEL MAC SCHEDULING ALGORITHM FOR TCP THROUGHPUT IMPROVEMENT IN LTE SYSTEM

Abstract

Different Quality of Service (QoS) choices are provided by the LTE standard, allowing the User
Equipment (UE) to receive numerous services. In wireless networks, designing a scheduling method for traffic
based on Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is difficult. Several articles have been written to increase TCP
traffic throughput. To increase the total LTE cell and UE performance, a unique and realistically practicable
scheduling approach is suggested in this study to manage the TCP traffic. When scheduling Downlink (DL)
TCP traffic for acknowledgment transmission, an uplink grant is given. This reduces TCP throughput
fluctuations, enhancing cell and per UE performance. The Kalman filter technique may be used to calculate the
advanced uplink grant amount by taking into account real-time reported parameters in accordance with the LTE
standard. Results are produced in real time when the suggested method is put into practice on a tiny cell
platform. The data indicates that under certain traffic circumstances, a significant increase in throughput may be
attained.
