Since real-time multimedia applications requiring duality-of-service guarantees are spreading over mobile and wireless networks, energy efficiency in wireless channels is becoming more important. Energy consumption in the channels can be reduced with decreasing the rate of scheduler's outgoing link by means of Dynamic Modulation Scaling (DMS). This paper proposes a fair queuing algorithm, termed Rate Efficient Fair Queuing (REFQ), in order to reduce the outgoing link's rate, which is based on the Latency-Optimized Fair Queuing algorithm developed to enhance Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ). The performance evaluation result shows that REFQ does decrease the link rate by up to 35% in comparison with that in WFQ, which results in reducing the energy consumption by up to 90% when applied to the DMS based radio modem.

현재 인터넷은 노력형 서비스(Best-effort service)만을 제공하며, 보장형 서비스(Guaranteed service)를 제공하지 못하는 한계를 가지고 있다. MPEG1, MPEG4, H.263과 같은 실시간 비디오 데이터를 효과적으로 제공하기 위해서는 보장형 서비스를 필요로 하며, 세션 관리, 호 허용 제어, 패킷 스케쥴링과 같은 여러 가지 기술들이 필요하다. 기존에 주로 사용되고 있는 FIFO(First-in First-out)에 의한 큐잉 정책으로는 대역폭, 지연 시간과 같은 네트워크 자원을 사용자에게 보장해 줄 수 없다. 따라서 CBQ(Class Based Queuing), WFQ(Weight Fair Queuing)아 같은 공평 큐잉 기법들에 대한 연구가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 WFQ와 같은 공평 큐잉 기법을, 실시한 비디오 패킷 전송에 효과적으로 사용하기 위한 방법(AWF2Q+)을 제안하였다. FIFO, WFQ, AWF2Q+의 서비스 품질(PSNR)에 대한 비교, 분석을 통해 제안한 알고리즘이 실시간 비디오 서비스의 품질(PSNR)을 향상할 수 있다는 것을 보였다.

본 논문에서는, 트래픽으로부터 요구된 지연한계를 보장하는 스케줄링 알고리즘으로서, \"클래스별 서비스 차등제공\" 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은, 공평 큐잉과 우선순위 제어 개념의 절충형 패킷 스케줄링 알고리즘이다. 다수의 트래픽 클래스 환경에서, 각 클래스별 서비스 커브를 정의하며, 클래스별 지연 한계를 충족시키기 위한 각 서비스 커브의 형태, 그리고 서비스 커브간의 관계에 근거하여, 클래스별 차등 서비스를 제공한다. 또한, 동일한 클래스 내의 세션간에는 공평 큐잉을 제공함으로써, 세션별 최소한의 대역폭이 보장될 수 있도록 한다. 지연 제어를 위해 새로 정의된 변수는, 시스템 상태에 따라 그 값이 조정됨으로써, 자원의 효율적 활용을 가능하게 한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 가상적 fluid-flow 모델에서 디자인되었으며, 이를 실질적인 패킷 모드에서 구현하는 방안이 제시되었다. 아울러, 제안된 스케줄링 알고리즘에 수반되는, 결정적 형태의 지연 보장을 위한 호 수락 제어조건을 유도함으로써, 수용된 세션들의 지연 성능이 확정적으로 보장될 수 있도록 하였다.수 있도록 하였다.

WFQ(Weighted Fair Queuing)은 지연이나 공평성의 특성에 있어서 이상적인 트래픽 스케줄링 알고리즘으로 간주되었다. N세션에 서비스를 제공하는 WFQ 스케줄러의 스케줄링 연산은 각 패킷 전송 시간당 O(n)의 계산 복잡도를 가지며, 구현 또한 복잡하다. Self-Clocked Fair Queuing과 같은 WFQ 알고리즘의 구현을 간단히 하고자 하는 노력은 지연범위나 특성에 영향을 주게 되어 다양한 트래픽이 제공되는 경우 각 트래픽의 공평성을 지원해주지 못한다. 그러므로 지연이나 지연 변이 측면에서 공평성을 지원하고 구현상의 계산 복잡도를 줄인 스케줄링 알고리즘이 필요하게 되었다. ATM 다중화기의 셀 스케줄링 알고리즘 역시, ATM의 특성상 다양한 특성의 서비스를 제공하기 위해서, 다양한 특성의 트래픽에 대한 공평성을 제공하는 새로운 알고리즘의 연구가 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 ATM 스위치 내의 다중화기에서 사용되는 새로운 셀 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안하고 실험을 통해 이 알고리즘의 성능을 검증하고자 한다. 이 알고리즘은 여러 개의 우선 순위 큐를 갖고, 각 우선순위 큐마다 스케줄링 연산이 O(1)의 계산 복잡도를 갖는 Parallel Priority Queuing 알고리즘이다.

Guaranteed Frame Rate(GFR) service is intended to efficiently support TCP/IP traffic in ATM networks. The GFR service not only guarantees a minimum service rate at the frame level, but also supports a fair share of available bandwidth. The original GFR proposal outlined two switch implementation scheme : FIFO Queuing and perVC-Queuing. In general, it has been shown that FIFO Queuing is not sufficient to provide rate guarantees and perVC-Queuing with scheduling is needed. In perVC-Queuing implementation, scheduling algorithm plays key rule to provide rate guarantees and to improve fairness. We proposed a new scheduling algorithm for the GFR service. Proposed algorithm can provide minimum service rate guarantee and fair sharing to GFR VCs. Computer simulation results show that proposed scheduling scheme provide a much better performance in TCP Goodput and fairness than previous scheme.

In this paper, a novel packet scheduling algorithm, so-called the CSL algorithm is discussed, whereby the firewall property as well as the deterministic delay bound guarantee are supported in session level. Lots of simulation studies validate those properties of the CSL algorithm. The CSL algorithm is distingushable from the well- known EDD scheme in terms of the firewall property. Regarding the implementation complexity, the CSL algorithm turns out to be of 0(1) besides the sorting overhead. Owing to the maintained generic fair queueing structure in the CSL algorithm, a various fair queueing schemes can be applied with minor modification. For the TCP/IP network which is vulnerable to the misbehaving traffic sources, the firewall property of the CSL algorithm is quite useful for the advanced quality of services.

Scheduling technology is one of the most important elements required to support the Quality of service (QoS) in the Internet and a lot of scheduling algorithms have been developed. However, most of these algorithms ire not flexible to distribute the excess bandwidth. In order to provide flexibility for distributing the excess bandwidth, we proposed excess bandwidth fair queueing (EBFQ) algorithm with relatively low complexity. In this paper, we propose the new extension to this EBFQ algorithm for the hierarchical fair queueing system. This extension can be naturally applied to the existing hierarchical algorithm and simultaneously provide the same level of fairness. Through the simulation and analysis, we verify it.

Recently, WBAN(Wireless Body Area Network) which has progressed standardization based on IEEE 802.15.6 standardization is a network for the purpose of the short-range wireless communications within around 3 meters from the inner or outer human body. Effective QoS control technique and data efficient management in limited bandwidth such as audio and video are important elements in terms of users and loads in short-range wireless networks. In this paper, for high-speed WBAN IEEE 802.15.6 standard, the dynamic allocation to give an efficient bandwidth management and weighted fair queueing algorithm have been proposed through the adjustment of the super-frame about limited data and Quality of Service (QoS) based on the queuing algorithm. Weighted Fair Queueing(WFQ) Algorithm represents the robust performance about elements to qualitative aspects as well as maintaining fairness and maximization of system performance. The performance results show that the dynamic allocation expanded transmission bandwidth five times and the weighted fair queueing increased maximum 24.3 % throughput and also resolved delay bound problem.

Fair packet scheduling algorithms supporting quality-of-services of real-time multimedia applications can be classified into the following two design schemes in terms of the reference time used in calculating the timestamp of arriving packet: Finish-time Design (FD) and Start-time Design (SD) schemes. Since the former can adjust the latency of a flow with raising the flow's reserved rate, it has been applied to a router for the guaranteed service of the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) IntServ model. However, the FD scheme may incur severe bandwidth loss for traffic flows requiring low-rate but strong delay bound such as internet phone. In order to verify the usefulness of the SD scheme based router for the IETF guaranteed service, this paper analyzes and compares two design schemes in terms of bandwidth and payload utilizations. It is analytically proved that the SD scheme is better bandwidth utilization than the FD one, and the simulation result shows that the SD scheme gives better payload utilization by up to 20%.

Most fair packet schedulers supporting quality-of-services of real-time multimedia applications are based on the finish time design scheme in which the expected transmission finish time of each packet is used as its timestamp. This scheme can adjust the latency of a flow with raising the flow's scheduling rate but it may suffer from severe bandwidth loss due to the coupled rate and delay allocation. This paper first introduces the concept of delay resource, and then proposes a scheduling method to improve the bandwidth utilization in which delay resource being lost due to the coupled allocation is transformed into bandwidth one. The performance evaluation shows that the proposed method gives higher bandwidth utilization by up to 50%.
