This article analyzes the performance of state-of-the-art macrocell scheduling algorithms in femtocell environment. Real data rate control (DRC) values collected through real femtocell experiments are used in computer simulations to calculate average sector throughput and fairness for best effort (BE) traffic users. Computer simulations are performed in order to model scheduling techniques, BE and Voice over IP (VoIP) users in femtocell environment. Scheduling algorithms simulated and analyzed are Round Robin (RR), maximum DRC (maxDRC), proportional fairness (PF), exponent DRC (expDRCe), average DRC (aveDRCα) and maxDRC-PFα. The performance of these schedulers are investigated in femtocell environment, and their sector throughput, throughput fairness performances are presented. As a result of computer simulations, expDRC0.5, maxDRC-PF0.1 and maxDRC-PF0.5 schedulers provided the optimal performance, and therefore recommended to be used in femtocell environment.
