Model Checking Methods for Scheduling in Ultra Reliable Low Latency Communications
Master Thesis
Abstract: This thesis focuses on downlink scheduling with one base station and multiple users and proposes two new scheduling algorithms to achieve very high reliability and very low latency in such a network. At each transmission time interval (TTI) the scheduling algorithm allocates the network resources to a user depending on its calculated metric. The simulation results proved that the proposed scheduling algorithms can outperform the state of the art scheduling algorithms up to 65 % in packet loss rate.
