A novel scheduler is designed which can prioritize each application considering their various QoS requirements. The scheduler aims to divide the limited wireless resources among applications in an application specific notion of fairness. Unlike current solutions, proposed scheduler differentiates between not only users but each and every application of users and allocates wireless resources considering the specific QoS requirements of different type of applications. Extensive simulation results prove that the proposed scheduler achieves tremendous results compared to the current user-based schedulers.engrestrictedAccessconferenceObject1410.1109/SIU.2012.6204828Femtocellular radioQuality of serviceRadio networks2-s2.0-84863442285
