Abstract
Fifth-generation wireless technology, or 5G, is the most recent mobile telecommunications standard. With higher data speeds, reduced latency, more capacity, and better connectivity than its forerunner, 4G, it represents a considerable improvement. In 5G networks, the scheduling mechanism regulates how much data is sent between different devices and the network. Cellular networks are really used in a variety of situations, including dense (urban regions), non-dense (rural areas), ultra-dense, etc. Schedulers are formed over the base stations to effectively allocate resources to the cell's customers. These schedulers operate according to the circumstances in which they are employed. Two scenarios—Single-Cell with Interference and Single-Cell with Femto-Cell—are developed in this paper by editing the code. The defined scenarios are then implemented using the two existing schedulers: Log_Rule and Maximum Throughput (MT). These approaches are applied to the aforementioned conditions, and the results are measured in terms of throughput, packet loss ratio, latency, and spectrum efficiency.
