Abstract :Long Term Evolution insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LTE); is the starting point towards the 4th generation insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4G); of cellular systems to increase the capacity, spectral efficiency and the coverage. One of the most important features of LTE is employing the radio resource management in order to improve the performance of the cellular system. In this study, performance evaluation of a downlink packet scheduling algorithm that depends on the channel quality information in the LTE cellular networks is discussed. Simulation results show that the analyzed downlink packet scheduling algorithm improves the fair resource allocation with a tolerable loss in the throughput
