Impact of Preamble-Priority-Aware Downlink Control Signaling Scheduling on LTE/LTE-A Network Performance

The concept of preamble-priority awareness in downlink control signaling scheduling was recently proposed to provide Quality of Service (QoS) differentiation in the Random Access (RA) procedure of the LTE/LTE-Advanced technology. This approach employs the information about preamble-priority levels used in the the initial phase of the RA procedure to schedule random access response messages. In this paper, we extend the application of this...
