| description | In the field of communication networks, the management of resource allocation is a crucial research area. To achieve efficient radio resource management, mobile telecommunications operators utilize opportunistic scheduling algorithms. This study presents a novel opportunistic scheduler, called MMR (Min–Max Rate), which aims to ensure equal treatment of users, good quality of service, and maximum overall system throughput simultaneously and improve network throughput and fairness by up to 70% compared to traditional and classical scheduling algorithms. To evaluate the performance of MMR, we compared it with other reference algorithms such as Round Robin, MaxSNR, and Proportional Fair, known for their scheduling efficiency and robustness. The simulation results obtained by the MATLAB software and analysis focused on fairness criteria and system throughput for different user groups, and we found that our proposed algorithm outperforms the existing algorithms. |
