라우터에서 세션간 출력링크 용량을 공정하게 분배하기 위해, Generalized Processor Sharing(GPS) 기반 공정큐잉 알고리즘들이 제안되었다. 이 알고리즘들은 대역폭 관점에서는 서버에 대기중인 각 세션들에게 공정한 서비스를 제공해 주지만, 지연 관점에서는 경계치 이하로 보장해 주는 서비스만 제공한다. 이로 인해 적은 양의 패킷을 생성하는 세션이라도 작은 지연으로 서비스 받고자 한다면, 큰 대역폭을 할당받아야 하는 문제가 발생한다. 이와 같이 지연과 대역폭이 결합됨으로 써 생기는 문제를 해결하고자 서비스커브 기반의 알고리즘이 제안되었지만, 이 알고리즘들은 서비스 지연과 대역폭간 제한된 분리밖에 지원하지 못한다. 본 논문에서는 서비스 지연과 대역폭을 분리하여 독립적으로 처리함으로 써, 각 세션에게 세션의 트래픽 특성에 맞게 서비스를 제공해 주는 지연-대역폭 정규화 모델을 제안한다. 이 모델은 서비스를 서비스 지연과 대역폭 측면에서 정의하고, 정의된 서비스를 서비스 가치(Value of Service: VoS)라는 개념을 통해 표현한다. 이 모델과 VoS개념을 이용하여 각 세션에게 지연-대역폭 관점에서 공정한 서비스를 제공하는 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이 알고리즘을 통해, 각 세션에게 지연-대역폭 관점에서 공정서비스, 전송률을 보장하는 서비스를 제공하려고 한다.

This paper proposes a dynamic timeout scheduling for energy efficient and accurate aggregation by analyzing the single hop delay in wireless sensor networks based on IEEE 802.15.4. The proposed scheme dynamically configures the timeout value depending on both the number of nodes sharing a channel and the type of wireless media, with considering the results of delay analysis of the single hop delay. The timeout of proposed scheme is much smaller than the maximum single hop delay which is used as the timeout of traditional data aggregation schemes. Therefore the proposed scheme considerably reduces the energy consumption of idle monitoring for waiting messages. Also, the proposed scheme maintains the data accuracy by guaranteeing the reception ratio required by the sensor network applications. Extensive simulation has revealed that proposed scheme enhances energy consumption by 30% with maintaining data accuracy, as compared with the TAG data aggregation.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive beacon scheduling algorithm to control a reception period of actual data according to variation of amount of traffic in IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN(Low Rate-Wireless Personal Area Network) with the cluster-tree topology. If a beacon interval is shortened, the amount of the traffic a node receives can be increased while consumption of the energy can be also increased. In this sense, we can achieve optimal on orgy consumption by controlling the beacon interval when the amount of data to be received is being decreased. The result of simulation using NS-2 shows that the proposed algorithm improves performances in terms of packet loss rate and end-to-end delay compared with algorithm using a fixed beacon interval. For a design of cluster-tree based LR-WPAN managing delay-sensitive services, the proposed algorithm and the associated results can be applied usefully.

There are two traditional scheduling methods known as PQ and WRR in the DiffServ network, however, these two scheduling methods have some drawbacks. In this paper, we propose an algorithm that can be adopted in WRR scheduler with making up for weak points of PQ and WRR. The proposed algorithm produces the control discipline by the fuzzy theory to dynamically assign the weight of WRR scheduler with checking the Queue status of each class. To evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm, We accomplished a computer simulation using NS-2. From simulation results, the proposed algorithm improves the packet loss rate of the EF class traffic to 6.5% by comparison with WRR scheduling method and that of the AF4 class traffic to 45% by comparison with PQ scheduling method.

Soft real-time applications such as multimedia feature highly variable processor requirements and probabilistic guarantees on deadline misses, meaning that each task in the application meets its deadline with a given probability. Thus, for such soft real-time applications, a system designer may want to improve the system utilization by allocating to each task a processor time less than its worst-case requirement, as long as the imposed probabilistic timing constraint is met. In this case, however, we have to address how to schedule jobs of a task that require more than (or, overrun) the allocated processor time to the task. In this paper, to address the overrun problem, we propose an overrun control method, which probabilistically controls the execution of overrunning jobs. The proposed overrun control method probabilistically allows overrunning jobs to complete for better system utilization, and also probabilistically prevents the overrunning jobs from completing so that the required probabilistic timing constraint for each task can be met. In the paper, we show that the proposed method outperforms previous methods proposed in the literature in terms of the overall deadline miss ratio, and that it is possible to synthesize the scheduling parameters of our method so that all tasks can meet the given probabilistic timing constraints.

In this paper, we propose a real-time sensor node platform that guarantees the real-time scheduling of periodic and aperiodic tasks through a multitask-based software decomposition technique. Since existing sensor networking operation systems available in literature are not capable of supporting the real-time scheduling of periodic and aperiodic tasks, the preemption of aperiodic task with high priority can block periodic tasks, and so periodic tasks are likely to miss their deadlines. This paper presents a comprehensive evaluation of how to structure periodic or aperiodic task decomposition in real-time sensor-networking platforms as regard to guaranteeing the deadlines of all the periodic tasks and aiming to providing aperiodic tasks with average good response time. A case study based on real system experiments is conducted to illustrate the application and efficiency of the multitask-based dynamic component execution environment in the sensor node equipped with a low-power 8-bit microcontroller, an IEEE802.15.4 compliant 2.4GHz RF transceiver, and several sensors. It shows that our periodic and aperiodic task decomposition technique yields efficient performance in terms of three significant, objective goals: deadline miss ratio of periodic tasks, average response time of aperiodic tasks, and processor utilization of periodic and aperiodic tasks.

Cloud service users request dedicated virtual computing resource from the cloud service provider to process jobs in independent environment from other users. To optimize this process with automated method, in this paper we proposed a framework for workflow scheduling in the cloud environment, in which the core component is the middleware called broker mediating the interaction between users and cloud service providers. To process jobs in on-demand and virtualized resources from cloud service providers, many papers propose scheduling algorithms that allocate jobs to virtual machines which are dedicated to one machine one job. With this method, the isolation of being processed jobs is guaranteed, but we can't use each resource to its fullest computing capacity with high efficiency in resource utilization. This paper therefore proposed a cost-efficient job scheduling algorithm which maximizes the utilization of managed resources with increasing the degree of multiprogramming to reduce the number of needed virtual machines; consequently we can save the cost for processing requests. We also consider the performance degradation in proposed scheme with thrashing and context switching. By evaluating the experimental results, we have shown that the proposed scheme has better cost-performance feature compared to an existing scheme.

In this paper, we proposed the MAC protocol of APON supporting multi-class traffic such as CBBUVBR, ABR, UBR, to guarantee the required QoS of each service. For this, we analyze the performance of variousrequest mechanisms and employee the different request mechanism for each traffic classes. Upstream anddownstream frame structures to minimize transmission overhead are proposed based on our request mechanism.The proposed MAC protocol applies the different priority to permit distribution process. CBBWBR traffic, withthe stringent requirements on CDV or delay, is allocated prior to any other class. ABR traffic, which hasnon-strict CDV or delay criteria, uses flexibly the available bandwidth but ensures a minimum cell rate (MCR).UBR traffic is allocated with lowest priority for the remaining capacity. The performance of proposed protocol isevaluated in terms of transfer delay and 1-point CDV with various offered load. The result of simulation showsthat the proposed protocol guarantees the required QoS of the corresponding category, while making use of theavailable resources in both an efficient and dynamical way.

In this paper, we investigated several buffer management schemes for the design of shared-memory type ATM switches, which can enhance the utilization of switch resources and can support quality-of-service (QoS) functionalities. Our results show that dynamic threshold (DT) scheme demonstrate a moderate degree of robustness close to pushout(PO) scheme, which is known to be impractical in the perspective of hardware implementation, under various traffic conditions such as traffic loads, burstyness of incoming traffic, and load non-uniformity across output ports. Next, we considered buffer management strategies to support QoS functions, which utilize parameter values obtained via connection admission control (CAC) procedures to set tile threshold values. Through simulations, we showed that the buffer management schemes adopted behave well in the sense that they can protect regulated traffic from unregulated cell traffic in allocating buffer space. In particular, it was observed that dynamic partitioning is superior in terms of QoS support than virtual partitioning.

In order to provide 8K UHD contents of terrestrial broadcasting with a large capacity, the terrestrial broadcasting system has various problems such as limited bandwidth and so on. To solve these problems, UHD contents transmission technology has been actively studied, and an 8K UHD broadcasting system using terrestrial broadcasting network and communication network has been proposed. The proposed technique is to solve the limited bandwidth problem of terrestrial broadcasting network by segmenting 8K UHD contents and transmitting them to heterogeneous networks through hierarchical separation. Through the terrestrial broadcasting network, the base layer corresponding to FHD and the additional enhancement layer data for 4K UHD are transmitted, and the additional enhancement layer data corresponding to 8K UHD is transmitted through the communication network. When 8K UHD contents are provided in such a way, user can receive up to 4K UHD broadcasting by terrestrial channels, and also can receive up to 8K UHD additional communication networks. However, in order to transmit the 4K UHD contents within the allocated bit rate of the domestic terrestrial UHD broadcasting, the compression rate is increased, so a certain level of image deterioration occurs inevitably. Due to the nature of UHD contents, video quality should be considered as a top priority over other factors, so that video quality should be guaranteed even within a limited bit rate. This requires packet scheduling of content generators in the broadcasting system. Since the multiplexer sends out the packets received from the content generator in order, it is very important to make the transmission time and the transmission rate of the process from the content generator to the multiplexer constant and accurate. Therefore, we propose a variable transmission scheduler between the content generator and the multiplexer to guarantee the image quality of a certain level of UHD contents in this paper.
