It significantly improves the Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCS) for Users 2 and 3.
Op-b
What drawback is observed with the Round Robin scheduler mode concerning users with lower
Modulation and Coding Schemes (MCS) in the illustrative scenario?
Op-d
What distinguishes the Proportional Fair scheduler mode from MaxRB and Round Robin concerning
resource allocation in 5G NR?
It focuses solely on optimizing delay metrics for each user in the cell.
Op-d
How do advanced scheduler algorithms in 5G NR, leveraging machine learning and deep learning,
contribute to resource optimization?
By prioritizing users with higher MCS, disregarding fairness across the cell
