Due to multiple hops, mobility and time-varying channel, supporting delay sensitive real-time traffic in wireless local area network-based (WLAN) mesh networks is a challenging task. In particular for real-time traffic subject to medium access control (MAC) layer control overhead, such as preamble, carrier sense waiting time and the random backoff period, the performance of real-time flows will be degraded greatly. In order to support real-time traffic, an efficient adaptive packet scheduling (APS) scheme is proposed, which aims to improve the system performance by guaranteeing inter-class, intra-class service differentiation and adaptively adjusting the packet length. APS classifies incoming packets by the IEEE 802.11e access class and then queued into a suitable buffer queue. APS employs strict priority service discipline for resource allocation among different service classes to achieve inter-class fairness. By estimating the received signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) per bit and current link condition, APS is able to calculate the optimized packet length with bi-dimensional markov MAC model to improve system performance. To achieve the fairness of intra-class, APS also takes maximum tolerable packet delay, transmission requests, and average allocation transmission into consideration to allocate transmission opportunity to the corresponding traffic. Detailed simulation results and comparison with IEEE 802.11e enhanced distributed channel access (EDCA) scheme show that the proposed APS scheme is able to effectively provide inter-class and intra-class differentiate services and improve QoS for real-time traffic in terms of throughput, end-to-end delay, packet loss rate and fairness.

We build and analyze some types of queueing model to discuss capacity dimensioning of access links of a LAN interworking unit connected to the Internet backbone network. We assume that the IWU has a FIFO buffer to transmit IP packets to the Internet through the backbone. In order to analyze the system, we use a Poisson process and an MMPP process as input traffic models of IP packets and we use a general service time distribution as a service time model. But we use both an exponential service time and a deterministic service time in numerical examples for simple and efficient performance comparisons. As performance measures, we obtain the packet loss probability and the mean packet delay. We present some numerical results to show the effect of arrival rate, buffer size and link capacity on packet loss and mean delay.

초고속 패킷 스위칭 네트워크에서 QoS 보장을 위한 여러 가지 방안 중 우선순위에 의한 패킷처리 방식이 선호되고 있다. 초고속 패킷 스위치에서 우선순위에 따르는 효율적인 패킷 처리는 서비스 성능 향상의 관건이다. 따라서 초고속 네트워크 내의 핵심인 패킷 스위치에서의 효율적인 우선순위 서비스 알고리즘의 개발은 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 효율적인 패킷 스위치 성능 향상 방안으로 큐에 대기하는 패킷의 개수에 따라 서비스시간을 가변적으로 할당할 수 있는 W-iSLIP 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안하고, 시뮬레이션하여 기존의 알고리즘과 비교 분석하였다. 우선순위에 따른 서비스와 전체 지연시간을 분석한 결과, 전체 지연시간에 있어서는 2.6%, 우선순위 서비스에 있어서는 34.6%의 성능향상이 있는 것으로 분석되었다.

Traffic flows of real-time multimedia services such as Internet phone and IPTV are bounded on the end-to-end delay. Packets violating their delay limits will be dropped at a router because of not useful anymore. Service providers promise the quality of their providing services in terms of SLA(Service Level Agreement), and they, especially, have to guarantee the packet loss rates listed in the SLA. This paper is about a method to guarantee the required packet loss rate of each traffic flow keeping the high network resource utilization as well. In details, it assures the required loss rate by adjusting adaptively the timestamps of packets of the flow according to the difference between the required and measured loss rates in the lossy Weighted Fair Queuing(WFQ) scheduler. The proposed method is expected to be highly applicable because of assuring the packet loss rates regardless of the fluctuations of offered traffic load in terms of quality of services and statistical characteristics.

In the wireless communication systems, the demand of multimedia services is also increased. Unlike typical data packets, realtime service such as VoIP packets have delay bound and low loss rate requirement. In this paper we propose a new scheduling algorithm that be able to allocate resources to the different kinds of services such as VoIP and data packet. The proposed algorithm considers both time delay and channel condition toe determine the priority. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm works more efficiently than the conventional algorithms.

우리는 BMPA(balanced multimedia packet allocation) 기법을 제안했다. 이 기법은 OFDMA 멀티캐스트 시스템에서 서브캐리어의 최적 할당 문제를 고려했다. RT(real time) 패킷과 NRT(non-real time) 패킷이 송신 단에 동시에 도달했을 경우, BMPA 기법은 RT 패킷에 NRT 패킷보다 더 큰 가중치를 부여한다. 그리고 각 유저의 패킷 가중치 합에 따라서 서브 캐리어를 할당한다. 이 과정이 패킷 스케듈링과 서브 캐리어 할당 과정을 동시에 수행하게 되고 각 유저는 멀티미디어 패킷을 안정적으로 전송받을 수 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 BMPA 기법이 기존의 멀티유저 워터필링 알고리즘에 비해 장기적으로 시스템의 전송 속도를 높이고 RT 패킷의 지연을 크게 줄인다는 것을 증명했다.

In this paper, we propose a packet scheduling discipline called packet loss fair scheduling, in which the packet loss of each user from different real-time traffic is fairly distributed according to the quality of service requirements. We consider an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system. The basic frame structure of the system is for the downlink in a cellular packet network, where the time axis is divided into a finite number of slots within a frame, and the frequency axis is segmented into subchannels that consist of multiple subcarriers. In addition, to compensate for fast and slow channel variation, we employ a link adaptation technique such as adaptive modulation and coding. From the simulation results, our proposed packet scheduling scheme can support QoS differentiations while guaranteeing short-term fairness as well as long-term fairness for various real-time traffic.

In this paper, we propose a hierarchical packet scheduling technique to closely approximate a hierarchical extension of the generalized processor sharing model, Hierarchical Generalized Processor Sharing (H-GPS). Our approach is to undertake the tasks of service guarantee and hierarchical link sharing in an independent manner so that each task best serves its own objective. The H-GPS model is decomposed into two separate service components: the guaranteed service component to consistently provide performance guarantees over the entire system, and the excess service component to fairly distribute spare bandwidth according to the hierarchical scheduling rule. For tight and harmonized integration of the two service components into a single packet scheduling algorithm, we introduce two novel concepts of distributed virtual time and service credit, and develop a packet version of H-GPS called Hierarchical Fair Queueing (HFQ). We demonstrate the layerindependent performance of the HFQ algorithm through simulation results.

In a packet-switched wireless cellular network, a packet destined to a mobile station is queued at a base station and then broadcast over the base station's cell. When an active mobile station leaves a cell, there re-main packets which are destined to the mobile and not yet delivered to it at the cell's base station. For application which are sensitive to packet losses, such back- logged packets must be forwarded to the new base station. Otherwise, an end-to-end retransmission may be required. However, an increase in packet delay is incurred by employing the packet forward scheme, since a packet may be forwarded many times before it is delivered to the destined mobile station. For an enhanced quality-of-service level, it is preferred to reduce tile packet delay time. In this paper, we develop an analytical approximation method for deriving mean packet delay times. Using the approximation and simulation methods, we investigate the effect of network parameters on the packet delay time.

To realize the wireless packet scheduler which efficiently considers both the effect of adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) scheme due to variable wireless communication channel information from physical layer and the QoS differentiation of multimedia services from internet protocol (IP) layer, this paper proposes a new downlink AMC-based priority queuing (APQ) scheduler which combines AMC scheme and service priority method in multimedia services at the same time. The result of numerical analysis shows that the proposed APQ algorithm plays a role in increasing the number of services satisfying the mean waiting time requirements per each service in multimedia services because the APQ scheme allows the mean waiting time of each service to be reduced much more than existing packet scheduler having only user selection processor.
