AB  - Long Term Evolution (LTE) by 3rd Generation Project Partnership 
  (3GPP) is one of the radio access technologies used for delivering broadband 
  mobile services. It is mainly influenced by high data rates, minimum delay and 
  the capacity due to scalable bandwidth and its flexibility. The downlink LTE 
  employs Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) as a multiple 
  access technique. The conventional resource allocation method in OFDMA employed 
  different Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) on allocated subcarriers to achieve 
  good throughput. But in the downlink LTE, all scheduling blocks at a given Transmission 
  Time Interval (TTI) to user must adopt same MCS and these brings about constraints 
  in the system and as a result degrade system performance. This study reviewed 
  several resource allocation schemes for throughput maximization in LTE downlink. 
  In each of the schemes considered, the sub-optimal solution shows a significant 
  performance improvement compared to the optimal solution. A Quality of Service 
  (QoS) guaranteed RB allocation achieves high throughput compared to other schemes 
  considered in this study.
