Opportunistic Scheduling Algorithms In 5G/6G

Abstract

Wireless networks have experienced rapid growth in recent years, which evaluates the importance of scheduling algorithms in the development and optimization of wireless networks. Opportunistic scheduling algorithms take channel condition as one of the factors when transmitting packets. The number of bytes which can be carried within a time or physical slot is determined by the channel condition which significantly impacts the throughput of wireless networks. This study aims to focus on the uplink and downlink schedulers and channel conditions which contribute to optimizing resources utilization, enhancing network throughput, and minimizing delays in network communication. In addition, this study also aims to compare and analyze existing scheduling algorithms and their impact on network throughput. In this paper, several existing opportunistic scheduling algorithms in 5G will be compared.
