In a contention-based wireless LAN protocol, maximization of channel utilization and fair bandwidth allocations are main topics to deal with. But it is very difficult to achieve these two goals simultaneously. Many studies have been done to achieve these goals. In this paper we propose a control mechanism to support fair transmissions among traffic classes in IEEE 802.11e Wireless LAN. The proposed algorithm uses short-term and long-term transmission times of each traffic classes to control their $CW_{min}$ for fairness. The proposed algorithm don't need to know the exact number of nodes in the networks to support fairness as other studies do. Furthermore any modifications in AP and mobile hosts are not required.

This paper addresses the fairness issue between uplink and downlink traffic in IEEE 802.11 WLANs. Some solutions in existing work try to solve this issue by giving smaller minimum contention window (CWmin) value to an AP compared to stations. In contrast to the existing solutions, a proposed algorithm in this paper aims at finding CWmin values that not only provides fairness between uplink and downlink traffic among stations but also achieves high throughput. For this, in the proposed algorithm, an AP checks the number of stations that have uplink and downlink traffic, respectively. Based on this information, the AP calculates optimal CWmin values and announces it to stations. Our simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms existing algorithms in terms of fairness and throughput.

In this paper, we propose a new power control scheme to maximize the network throughput with fairness provisioning. Based on the game model, decisions in the scheme cooperatively and collaborate with each other to satisfy efficiency and fairness requirements. The simulation results demonstrate that proposed scheme has excellent network performance, while other schemes cannot offer such an attractive performance balance.

유무선 혼합 망에서 GFR서비스의 최소대역, 효율 및 트래픽 제어를 위한 버퍼관리 기법 등을 유무선 혼합망의 셀기반 네트워크에서 가중치를 높이는 시뮬레이션을 통해 공평성을 입증하는 연구를 한다. GFR서비스는 TCP/IP 패킷의 품질보장과 베스트 에포트 트래픽에 대한 최소의 대역폭 보장을 하며, 가용 대역폭에 대한 공평성 있는 대역할당을 지원해야 하기 때문에 버퍼관리를 통한 셀 폐기와 셀 스케줄링 둥이 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 유무선 혼합 네트워크에서 MCR을 보장하기 위하여 버퍼의 사용 가능한 영역의 활성 VC에 각 VC가중치를 비례해 할당하는 per-VC 어카운트에 기초한 트래픽 제어의 버퍼관리에 대한 유동적 WBA알고리즘을 제안하고 GFR 서비스의 효율 및 공평성을 유무선 혼합 망 셀 기반의 스위치를 이용하여 시뮬레이션으로 결과를 보인다.

비디오 서버는 다수의 비디오 요청을 동시에 서비스하기 때문에 통신망 대역폭을 공평하고 효율적으로 활용하는 것이 중요하다. 모바일 통신망에서 클라이언트들의 재생 버퍼 수준을 이용하여 VBR 비디오 스트림을 전송하는 스케쥴링 알고리즘들이 본 논문에서 제시되었다. 요청된 비디오 재생시 서비스 품질과 실시간적 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 비디오 서버는 일시적으로 버퍼 수준이 낮은 비디오 요청 작업을 우선적으로 서비스하고자 더 많은 대역폭을 할당하는 실시간 스케쥴링 알고리즘을 수행한다. 버퍼 수준이 상이한 모바일 클라이언트들에게 공평한 서비스와 부하 균형이 제공되는 시뮬레이션 결과가 나타났다.

The ATM Forum recently introduced the Guaranteed Frame Rate(GFR) service category GFR service has been designed to support classical best effort traffic such as TCP/IP based traffic. The GFR service not only guarantees a minimum throughput, but also supports fair distribution of available bandwidth to completing VCs. In this paper, we proposed a new buffer management algorithm based on leaky bucket to provide minimum cell rate guarantee and improve fairness. The proposed algorithm reduces complexity and processing overhead of leaky-bucket algorithm to implement easily.

In this paper, we proposed new buffer management and cell scheduling scheme of GFR service for improving fairness of TCP/IP traffic in ATM networks. The proposed algorithm used untagged cell, which came to ATM switch, to decide the policy for discard of frame and what kind of VC cell it would serve. Performance analysis through the simulation present that proposed scheme can meet fairness 2 (MCR Plus equal share), which are not met by conventional scheduling mechanism such as WRR. Also, proposed scheme is superior to WRR about 30% in throughput and more efficiency in fairness criteria.

This paper proposes and analyzes a new media access control (MAC) scheduling algorithm, “Interleaved Polling with Deficit Round Robin (IPDRR)” that supports weighted fairness among ONUs in Ethernet Passive Optical Network (PON). The purpose of the proposed IPDRR algerian is not only to eliminate the unused bandwidth of upstream ONU traffic, but also to provide weighted fair sharing of upstream bandwidth among ONUs in Ethernet PON systems. Simulation results show that the IPDRR improves the utilization of upstream channel by removing the unused bandwidth and provides weighted fairness among ONUs, although the IPACT scheduling is unfair according to traffic characteristics.

In the upstream link of EPON, numerous ONUs In the reverse link of the EPON network, numerous ONUs receive the privileges to use the optical medium from the scheduler of the LOT, but not through the competition with others. Therefore, it is very important to select a proper DBA algorithm to allocatethe frequency band to each ONU in an effectively and fair manner. In our preceding study, we proposed the RC-DBA algorithm that complements many problems in existing DBA algorithms. In this paper, we designed the MAC scheduler for the OLT, which the proposed algorithmwas applied to and implement it in the FPGA. In addition, in order to verify the operation of the scheduler, we developed the embedded Linux based testbed.

The WRR scheduling algorithm is widely used in ATM networks due to its simplicity and the low cost of hardware implementation. It guarantees minimum cell rate according to the weight of each queue. The fairness is a important factor for ABR service. That is, scheduling algorithm allocates network resources fairly to each VC. However, WRR algorithm shows worse performance on bursty traffic. Because it schedules input traffics according to predetermined weight, it can not satisfies fairness criteria, MCR plus equal share and Maximum of MCR or Max-Min share, defined by ATM Forum TM 4.1 specification. The Nabeshima et al algorithm is not adapt to network status rapidly because it is not compensate the weights of unused bandwidth to VCs and assign the unused bandwidth to VCs by RR method. In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm for satisfying the two fairness criteria, MCR plus equal share and Maximum of MCR or Max-Min share, among the six criteria defined by ATM Forum TM 4.1 specification. The WRR, Nabeshima et al, and the proposed scheduling algorithms are compared with respect to fairness and convergence time throughout experimental simulation. According to the simulation results, the proposed algorithm shows higher fairness and more rapid convergence than other algorithms.
