Abstract

Long Term Evolution (LTE) ,proposed by 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) as a 3.9G technology, represents a very promising answer to the ever rising bandwidth demand of mobile applications. To support vast range of multimedia and internet services at high data rates that t oo with increased spectral efficiency; LTE incorporates various Radio Resource Management (RRM) procedures. The key to achieve optimal performance of base station is dynamically scheduling limited resources like power and bandwidth to offer the best servic e for terminals with the lowest cost. In this context, radio Resource allocation strategies play a key role in distributing radio resources among different stations by taking into consideration the channel conditions as well as QoS requirements. The pres ent paper provides review of radio resource allocation strategies present in the literature.
