Performance Simulation of Scheduling Algorithms in Cellular Networks

In this paper, we explore how to utilize MATLAB for simulating scheduling algorithms in cellular networks and evaluating their performance. We introduce fundamental background knowledge, such as the definition of cellular networks and the role of scheduling algorithms in resource allocation. The implementation typically involves creating network topology models, generating traffic patterns, and implementing scheduling algorithms like Proportional Fair or Round Robin through MATLAB's communication toolbox functions. We also review relevant research literature and discuss our methodological approach, which includes designing simulation scenarios, implementing key functions for base station scheduling, and analyzing metrics such as throughput and fairness. By elaborating on our technical methodology, we aim to provide comprehensive insights into scheduling algorithm performance in cellular environments, offering valuable information and perspectives for future research in wireless network optimization.
