/**
 * ProportionalFairScheduling allocates resources to processes based on their
 * proportional weight or importance. It aims to balance fairness with
 * priority, ensuring that higher-weight processes receive a larger share of resources.
 *
 * Use Case: Network bandwidth allocation in cellular networks (4G/5G),
 * where devices receive a proportional share of bandwidth.
