To provide a guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) to real-time traffic in High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) core network, we proposed an enhanced mechanism. For an enhanced QoS, a Class-Based Low Latency Fair Queueing (CBLLFQ) packet scheduling algorithm is introduced in this work. Packet classification, metering, queuing, and scheduling using differentiated services (DiffServ) environment was the points in focus. To classify different types of real-time voice and multimedia traffic, the QoS provisioning mechanisms use different DiffServ code points (DSCP).The proposed algorithm is based on traffic classes which efficiently require the guarantee of services and specified level of fairness. In CBLLFQ, a mapping criterion and an efficient queuing mechanism for voice, video and other traffic in separate queues are used. It is proved, that the algorithm enhances the throughput and fairness along with a reduction in the delay and packet loss factors for smooth and worst traffic conditions. The results calculated through simulation show that the proposed calculations meet the QoS prerequisites efficiently.

실시간 트래픽 전송에서 종단간 지연시간 한도를 보장하기 위한 방법으로 EDF 알고리즘을 이용한 실시간 패킷 스케줄링에 대한 많은 연구들이 있어왔다. 그러나, EDF기반 패킷 스케줄러는 비실시간 트래픽이 존재하는 경우 실시간 트래픽의 실시간 요구조건을 보장할 수 없게 된다. 본 논문에서 EDF 알고리즘을 사용하는 실시간 패킷 스케줄러에서 비실시간 트래픽을 고려하는 패킷 스케줄러 기법과 수락 제어 알고리즘을 연구하였다. 제안하는 수락 제어 알고리즘은 유사 다항 시간(pseudo-polynomial time)의 시간 복잡도를 가지지만 실험을 통해 적은 수행 시간 부담으로 사용할 수 있음을 보였다.

In this paper, we propose an urgency and efficiency based wireless packet scheduling (UEPS) algorithm that is able to schedule real time (RT) and non-real time (NRT) traffics at the same time. The proposed UEPS algorithm is designed to support wireless downlink packet scheduling in the OFDMA system which is a strong candidate wireless system for the next generation mobile communications. The UEPS algorithm uses the time-utility function as a scheduling urgency factor and the relative status of the current channel to the average one as an efficiency indicator of radio resource usage. The design goal of the UEPS algorithm is to maximize throughput of NRT traffics with satisfying QoS requirements of RT traffics. The simulation study shows that the proposed UEPS algorithm is able to give better throughput performance than existing wireless packet scheduling algorithms such as proportional fair (PF) and modified-largest weighted delay first (M-LWDF) while satisfying QoS requirements of RT traffics such as the average delay and the packet loss rate under various traffic loads.

In this research, we propose packet scheduling algorithm considering different QoS characteristics of real-time traffic and non-real-time traffic in the next generation wireless communication system serving the multimedia traffic and a new efficient framing method cooperated with this packet scheduler. When the selected traffic classes of the selected users are transmitted, our proposed framing method can increase the number of serviced traffic classes by mixing the many different traffic classes within one frame considering data rate decided by the allocated AMC (Adaptive Modulation and Coding) option. Using this proposed method, the fairness among the traffic classes can be achieved and the system performance for total throughput and delay can be enhanced. Simulations are performed to analyze the performance of the proposed framing method. Our proposed packet scheduler and framing method will be applied to the next generation multimedia wireless communication system serving many traffic classes.

In a connection-oriented packet switching network, the data communication starts after a virtual circuit is established between source and destination. The virtual circuit establishment time includes the queue waiting times in the direction from source to destination and the other way around. We use this two-way queueing delay to evaluate scheduling policies of a packet switching processor through simulation studies. In this letter, we also suggest user testing functions for the packet switching processor to manage virtual circuits. By detecting error causes, the user testing helps the packet switching processor provide reliable connection-oriented services.

Backpressure based scheduling has been considered as a promising technique for improving the throughput of a wide range of communication networks. However, this scheduling technique has not been well studied for heterogeneous wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a virtual-queue based backpressure scheduling (VQB) algorithm for heterogeneous multi-hop wireless networks. The VQB algorithm introduces a simple virtual queue for each flow at a node for backpressure scheduling, whose length depends on the cache size of the node. When calculating flow weights and making scheduling decisions, the length of a virtual queue is used instead of the length of a real queue. We theoretically prove that VQB is throughput-optimal. Simulation results show that the VQB algorithm significantly outperforms a classical backpressure scheduling algorithm in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless networks in terms of the packet delivery ratio, packet delivery time, and average sum of the queue lengths of all nodes per timeslot.

본 논문에서의 패킷 스케줄러는 무선 채널 환경에서 실시간 비디오 트래픽과 비실시간 인터넷 트래픽을 동시에 서비스한다. 그리고 실시간 트래픽에 대한 지연을 감소 시기키 위하여 누적카운터와 SIR값을 동시에 고려하는 새로운 패킷 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 알고리즘에서는 실시간 트래픽을 비실시간 트래픽에 비하여 우선적으로 처리한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 고찰할 때, 실시간 비디오 트래픽과 같이 지연성능에 민감한 서비스의 경우에는 AC(Accumulation Counter) 방식이 기존의 M-LWDF방식보다 더 적합한 알고리즘으로 관찰되었다. 본 논문에서는 HSDPA 시스템과 유사한 구조를 채택하여 시간 축으로는 프레임 주기를 가지며 동시에 코드 축으로는 OVSF 코드를 사용할 수 있는 구조를 채택하여 모의 실험을 수행하였다.

Opportunistic scheduling is one of the important techniques to maximize multiuser diversity gain. In this paper, we propose a distributed opportunistic scheduling scheme for ad-hoc network. In the proposed distributed scheduling scheme, each receiver estimates channel condition and calculates independently its own priority with probabilistic manner, which can reduce excessive probing overhead required to gather the channel conditions of all receivers. We evaluate the proposed scheduling using extensive simulation and simulation results show that proposed scheduling obtains higher network throughput than conventional scheduling schemes and has a flexibility to control the fairness and throughput by controlling the system parameter.

본 논문에서는 OFDMA(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) 시스템에서 실시간 트래픽 전송을 위한 효율적 패킷 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 본 방식은 패킷의 시간 지연 구속을 우선 만족시키면서 데이터 전송률도 향상시키는 기법으로 TEDC(Throughput Enhancement Under Delay-Constraint)라 불리운다. 사용자별 트래픽 특성에 따른 허용 지연 시간(Tolerable Delay Time TDT)을 정의하여 다양한 시간 지연 요구 조건을 차별화 하여 관리함으로써 무선 자원의 사용 효율을 향상시킨다. 논문에서 제안하는 TEDC 방식은 두 단계로 이루어진다. 첫 번째 단계에서는, 실시간 서비스를 위해 요구되는 시간 지연 구속을 만족하기 위해 잔여 허용 시간이 남지 않은 긴급한 사용자들에게 우선적으로 무선자원을 할당한다. 두 번째 단계에서는 첫 번째 단계에서 할당하고 남은 잉여 무선 자원에 대해서 자원의 활용도를 최대화하여 전체 데이터 전송률(Throughput)을 향상시킨다. 제안된 TEDC 방식의 성능은 기존의 자원할당 방식인 Round robin, M-LWDF, EXP 방식과 패킷 손실률, 데이터 전송률, 채널 활용도 측면에서 비교, 분석된다. 시뮬레이션 결과, TEDC 방식이 패킷 손실률, 데이터 전송률, 채널 활용도 측면에서 다른 자원 할당 방식보다 모두 우수한 성능을 보였다.

The IEEE 802.16 wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN) standard is designed to correct expensive communication costs in CDMA-based mobile communication systems and limited coverage problems in wireless LAN systems. Thus, the IEEE 802.16e standard can provide mobile high-speed packet access between mobile stations and the Internet service provider through the base station with cheap communication fees. To efficiently accommodate voice over IP (VoIP) services in IEEE 802.16 systems, an uplink quality of service packet-scheduling scheme is proposed, and its performance is evaluated with an NS-2 network simulator in this paper. Numerical results show that this proposed scheme can increase the system capacity by 100% more than in the unsolicited rand service (UGS) scheme and 30% more than the extended real-time polling service (ertPS) scheme, respectively.
