Packet scheduling is an essential function to guarantee a quality of service by differentiating services in the Internet. Scheduling algorithms that have been suggested so far can be devided into Round-Robin methods and Fair Queueing methods Round-Robin methods have the advantage of high-speed processing through simple implementations, while Fair Queueing methods offer accurate services. Fair queueing algorithms, however, have problems of computational overheads and implementation complexity as their schedulers manage the states of every flow. This paper suggests a new method in which each flow performs the calculation in a distributed way to decide the service order. Our algorithm significantly reduces the scheduler's computational overheads while providing the same level of accuracy with the previous Fair Queueing algorithms.

Fair bandwidth allocations at routers protect adaptive flows from non-adaptive ones and may simplify end-to end congestion control. However, traditional fair bandwidth allocation mechanisms, like Weighted Fair Queueing and Flow Random Early Drop, maintain state, manage buffera and perform packet scheduling on a per-flow basis. These mechanisms are more complex and less scalable than simple FIFO queueing when they are used in the interi or of a high-speed network. Recently, to overcome the implementation complexity problem and address the scalability and robustness, several fair bandwidth allocation mechanisms without per-flow state in the interior routers are proposed. Core-Stateless Fair Queueing and Rainbow Fair Queuing are approximates fair queueing in the core-stateless networks. In this paper, we proposed simple Layered Fair Queueing (SLFQ), another core-stateless mechanism to approximate fair bandwidth allocation without per-flow state. SLFQ use simple layered scheme for packet labeling and has simpler packet dropping algorithm than other core-stateless fair bandwidth allocation mechanisms. We presente simulations and evaluated the performance of SLFQ in comparison to other schemes. We also discussed other are as to which SLFQ is applicable.

Fair queueing has been an important issue in the multimedia networks where resources are shared among nodes both wired and wireless. In most fair queuing algorithms, based on the generalized processor sharing(GPS), emphasizes fairness guarantee while overlooking bounded delay guarantee which is critical to support multimedia services in the networks. In this paper, we propose a new fair queueing scheme, delay guaranteed fair queueing (DGFQ), which guaranteeing bounded delay of flows according to their individual delay requirements for multimedia services in the wireless packet networks.

Fair Queueing has been studied only on wired network. When it is applied to wireless netowork, the collision phenomenon makes a problem.'rho information of queue of MT cannot be transferred to fair queueing algorithm In real time easily. We propose wireless fair queueing scheduler that protects short term farirness and long term fairness. We developed it in TDMA/TDD enviroment. Our scheme also supports uplink and downlink at the same time. And it can make subframe boundary based on fair scheduling algorithm.

Self-Clocked Fair Queueing (SCFQ) algorithm has been considered as an attractive packet scheduling algorithm because of its implementation simplicity, but it has unbounded delay property in some input traffic conditions. In this paper, we propose a Rate Proportional SCFQ (RP-SCFQ) algorithm which is a rate proportional version of SCFQ. If any fair queueing algorithm can be categorized into the rate proportional class and input is constrained by a leaky bucket, its delay is bounded and the same as that of Weighted Fair Queueing (WFQ) which is known as an optimal fair queueing algorithm. RP-SCFQ calculates the timestamps of packets arriving during the transmission of a packet using the current value of system potential updated at every packet departing instant and uses a starting potential when it updates the system potential. By doing so, RP-SCFQ can have the rate proportional property. RP-SCFQ is appropriate for high-speed packet-switched networks since its implementation complexity is low while it guarantees the bounded delay even in the worst-case input traffic conditions.

무선 네트워크의 급격한 성장으로 기존의 전자우편, 멀티미디어 등의 응용을 이동 컴퓨팅 환경에서 보다 효과적으로 지원해야 할 필요성이 증대되었다. 기존 유선 네트워크 환경에서 사용자의 독립적 서비스 보장과 요구 비율에 따른 자원의 공정한 배분을 위해서 Fair Queueing 기법이 제안되었다. 이 Fair Queueing 기법을 무선 네트워크에 적용하려는 연구가 진행되고 있으나 무선 미디어 자원의 빈약성과 사용자 이동에 따른 오류 발생 가능성 등으로 인해 아직까지 체계적인 기술은 미비한 형편이다. 본 논문에서는 기존 Fair Queueing 기법에서 각 세션의 가중치를 조절하여 무선 네트워크 환경에서 사용자의 다양한 서비스 품질(QoS; Queueing of Service)을 지원하고 오류 발생시 급격한 서비스 품질 저하를 방지하는 패킷 서비스 기법을 제시하고 그 성능을 분석한다.

The multimedia ad hoc wireless network is quite an attractive issue since it offers a flexible solution to enable delivery of multimedia services to mobile end users without fixed backbone networks. However, with the unique design challenges of ad hoc wireless networks, it is a non-trivial issue to provide bounded delay guarantee, with fair share of resources. In this paper, we proposed distributed implementation of the delay guaranteed fair queueing (DGFQ) scheme in multimedia ad hoc wireless networks. Through the the results of performance evaluation, we can conclude that DGFQ also performs well to control bounded delay in multimedia ad hoc wireless networks.

To provide the fair rate and achieve the fair bandwidth allocation, many per-flow scheduling algorithms have been proposed such as fair queueing algorithm for congestion control. But these algorithms need to maintain the state, manage buffer and schedule packets on a per-flow basis; the complexity of these functions may prevent them from being cost-effectively implemented. In this paper, therefore, to acquire cost-effectively for implementation, we propose a CS-FNE(Core Stateless FNE) algorithm that is based on FM(Flow Number Estimation), and evaluated CS-FNE scheme together with CSFQ(Core Stateless Fair Queueing), FRED(Fair Random Early Detection), RED(Random Early Detection), and DRR(Dynamic Round Robin) in several different configurations and traffic sources. Through the simulation results, we showed that CS-FNE algorithm can allocate fair bandwidth approximately than other algorithms, and CS-FNE is simpler than many per-flow basis queueing mechanisms and it can be easily implemented.

In ATM and W networks, high Priority Packets should be selectively favored over low Priority Packets in case of congestion. For this purpose, we introduce a space priority policy for ATM nodes in this paper which is very similar to the weighted core-stateless fair queueing(WCSFQ) in IP nodes. We also analyze the loss probabilities for different classes of cells for MMPP/D/1/K with a threshold level, and discuss the numerical results. The numerical results illustrate that the WCSFQ scheme can be used to support the differentiated services in ATM or IP nodes.
