Fairness-Aware Scheduling in Multi-Numerology Based 5G New Radio

Multi-numerology waveform based 5G New Radio (NR) systems offer great flexibility for different requirements of users and services. Providing fairness between users is not an easy task due to inter-numerology interference (INI) between multiple numerologies. This paper proposes two novel scheduling algorithms to provide fairness for all users, especially at the edges of numerologies. Signal-to-noise ratio (SIR) results for multi-numerology systems are obtained through computer simulations.
