Abstract: Guaranteeing Quality of Service (QoS) to mobile users is the primary aim of cellular broadband system like Long Term Evolution (LTE). Radio resource allocation and scheduling are two important functions in the LTE networks to enhance the quality of service. For increasing the generally user experience, an efficient radio resource allocation and Scheduling algorithm should be used. However, this became a non-trivial task as the demands and requirements of user data changes day-to-day. In these situations, with the limited radio resources, maximum system capacity can be obtained on expense of unfair share of the resources. In this work, high speed cell edge users are considered as they experience poor signal strength and their quality of service degrades when they move away from Evolved-Nodes (e-Nodes). Here, a novel scheduling algorithm has been introduced to extend the cell edge throughput amid during high mobility scenarios. The proposed scheduling scheme will be compared with the conventional schemes like best CQI, RR and PF in terms of throughput and fairness. It is presented that the proposed scheme gives better performance against the conventional ones in the chosen scenario.
