In this paper, we investigate a dynamic packet scheduling algorithm designed to enhance the eXtended Reality (XR) capacity of fifth-generation (5G)-Advanced networks with multiple cells, multiple users, and multiple services. The scheduler exploits the newly defined protocol data unit (PDU)-set information for XR traffic flows to enhance its quality-of-service awareness. To evaluate the performance of the proposed solution, advanced dynamic system-level simulations are conducted. The findings reveal that the proposed scheduler offers a notable improvement in increasing XR capacity up to 45%, while keeping the same enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) cell throughput as compared to the well-known baseline schedulers.
