The LTE/LTE-A has become a catchphrase for research and lot of research are being conducted and carried out in LTE in various issues by various people. New tools are developed and introduced in the market to interpret the results of the new algorithms proposed by various people. Some tools are open access which are free to use but some tools are produced by the companies which are not open access. In this paper some of the open access simulation tools like LTE-Sim and NS-3 are analyzed and LTE downlink scheduler algorithms are simulated using those tools. In LTE systems, the downlink scheduler is an important component for radio resource management; hence in the context of LTE simulation, a study between the downlink scheduler models between the simulators are performed.
