ABSTRACT: Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard is conceived as an all IP network to achieve higher data rate, low latency, scalable bandwidth, mobility and extended coverage. The network guarantees Quality of Service (QoS) for diverse applications such as VoIP, video and web browsing according to the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) specifications. The Radio Resource Management (RRM) techniques such as packet scheduling algorithm play a vital role in providing such guarantees. Thus, several algorithms have been proposed to allocate bandwidth resources while ensuring QoS to wireless applications. This paper presents a survey of downlink scheduling algorithms...........
