Performance analysis of prioritization in LTE networks with the Vienna LTE system level simulator

Abstract

This study was performed with two main goals in mind. The first goal was to understand the prioritisation capabilities in Long Term Evolution (LTE) networks and how it is done. The second goal was to understand the simulation of LTE networks (Vienna LTE simulator) and to add on the system level simulator an algorithm that will lead us to have priority access for some users following their QoS Class Identifier (QCI) and finally analyse the results.
