Tabu Approach for Adaptive Resource Allocation and Selection Carrier Aggregation in LTE-Advanced Network

In this paper, we propose, a new scheduling algorithm for LTE-A uplink systems entitled Multi-user Resource Allocation Process (MURAP). The latter supports uplink multi-user transmissions. Indeed, the main contribution of this work is to allocate the Physical Resources Blocks (PRBs) of all Component Carriers (CCs) to Real Time (RT) and-non Real Time (NRT) users using various criteria. Our proposed algorithm aimsat providing a fair distribution of PRBs, maximizing the system throughput and reducing queuing delay of theRT packets. Simulation results showed that MURAP positively influences both the Packet Drop Rate (PDR) and throughput performance.
