Abstract
The design of a scheduling algorithm for LTE networks is a complex task, and it has proven to be one of the main challenges for LTE systems. There are many issues to be addressed in order to obtain a high spectral efficiency and to meet the application's QoS requirements. In this context, this chapter presents a study of the resource allocation process in LTE networks. This study starts with an overview of the main concepts involved in the LTE resource allocation, and brings two new proposals of scheduling algorithms for downlink and uplink, respectively. Simulations are used to compare the performance of these proposals with other scheduler proposals widely known and explored in the literature.

High Speed Packet Access Broadband Mobile Communications
The situation when a radio signal traveling in the air reaches the receiver by different paths because of reflection, diffraction, or scattering to various surfaces. The received signal is the sum of the distorted transmitted signal replicas.
