Group scheduling is an operation whereby control packets arriving in a time slot schedule their bursts simultaneously. Normally, those bursts that are of the same wavelength are scheduled on the same channel. In cases where the support of full wavelength converters is available, such scheduling can be performed on multiple channels for those bursts that are of an arbitrary wavelength. This paper presents a new algorithm for group scheduling on multiple channels. In our approach, to reach a near-optimal schedule, a maximum-weight clique needs to be determined; thus, we propose an additional algorithm for this purpose. Analysis and simulation results indicate that an optimal schedule is almost attainable, while the complexity of computation and that of implementation are reduced.

This paper considers a packet-scheduling algorithm for a given combined traffic of unicast and multicast data packets and proposes a hybrid router with several dedicated buses for multicast traffic. Our objective is to develop a scheduling algorithm that minimizes schedule length for the given traffic in the hybrid router. We derive a lower bound and develop an optimal solution algorithm for the hybrid router.

Beacon scheduling is considered to be one of the most significant challenges for energy-efficient Low-Rate Wireless Personal Area Network (LR-WPAN) multi-hop networks. The emerging new standard, IEEE802.15.4e, contains a distributed beacon scheduling functionality that utilizes a specific bitmap and multi-superframe structure. However, this new standard does not provide a critical recipe for superframe duration (SD) allocation in beacon scheduling. Therefore, in this paper, we first introduce three different SD allocation approaches, LSB first, MSB first, and random. Via experiments we show that IEEE802.15.4e DSME beacon scheduling performs differently for different SD allocation schemes. Based on our experimental results we propose an adaptive SD allocation (ASDA) algorithm. It utilizes a single indicator, a distributed neighboring slot incrementer (DNSI). The experimental results demonstrate that the ASDA has a superior performance over other methods from the viewpoint of resource efficiency.

최근 인터넷 사용자 수의 증가와 게임, 뉴스, 분산컴퓨팅, 화상회의, 실시간 오디오, 비디오 등의 새로운 응용 트래픽의 등장으로 각 응용의 요구 대역폭이 증가하게 되었다. 이러한 요구에 파장 단위의 전송이 제시되었지만 파장의 한계성이 존재하므로 본 논문에서는 파장 단위의 Time slot을 적용한 빠른 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 이 알고리즘은 일반적인 파장 스위칭 기능과 시간분할전송 기능을 포함한 복합 구조의 광 교환기의 형태를 나타낸다. 제안한 OXC(Optical Cross Connect) 구조의 성능 평가는 패킷의 종류에 따른 구분을 위해 LFS(Limit Frame Size)와 VFS(Variable Frame Size)를 정의하였다. 임계값 이내에서는 두개의 프레임 구조가 유사하게 나타나지만 임계값의 초과 시에는 현저한 차이가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 구조의 광 교환기는 노드가 증가함에 따라 발생하는 프레임들의 충돌을 감소시킴은 물론 망의 확장성을 보장 할 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다.

The time slot assignment problem (TSAP) or Satellite Communications scheduling problem (SCSP) for a satellite performs $n{\times}n$ ground station data traffic switching has been known NP-hard problem. This paper suggests $O(n^2)$ time complexity algorithm for TSAP of a satellite that performs $n^2{\times}n^2$ ground station data traffic switching. This problem is more difficult than $n{\times}n$ TSAP as NP-hard problem. Firstly, we compute the average traffic for n-transponder's basic coverage zone and applies ground station exchange method that swap the ground stations until all of the transponders have a average value as possible. Nextly, we transform the D matrix to $D_{LB}$ traffic matrix that sum of rows and columns all of transponders have LB. Finally, we select the maximum traffic of row and column in $D_{LB}$, then decide the duration of kth switch mode to minimum traffic from selected values. The proposed algorithm can be get the optimal solution for experimental data.

본 논문에서는 블루투스(Bluetooth) 시스템의 스캐터넷(scatternet) 동작을 지원하기 위한 효율적인 MAC (Medium Access Control) 스케줄링(scheduling) 알고리즘을 제안한다. 특히 기존에 제안된 스캐터 모드(scatter mode)의 문제점을 개선하여 각 링크별 QoS (Quality of Service) 요구조건을 고려한 방안을 제시한다. 스캐터 모드는 기본적으로 스캐터넷 상의 연결된 모든 링크에 대해 동일한 서비스 기회를 제공하기 위한 방안으로, 시분할 방식을 기반으로 한다. 하지만 각각의 블루투스 기기들은 링크마다 서로 다른 트래픽 특성을 가지며, 그 양 또한 서로 다르므로 모든 링크에 대해 동일한 서비스 기회를 제공하는 것은 효율적인 서비스 슬롯(slot)의 환용이 되지 못하며 많은 무선 자원의 낭비를 가져오게 된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 표준에서 제시하고 있는 기존의 스캐터 모드 방식을 유지하며, 상대적으로 무선 자원의 사용 효율을 높이고 각 링크마다의 트래픽 특성 및 QoS 요구조건을 수용할 수 있는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안하며, 시뮬레이션 결과를 통해 그 성능을 검증한다.

In industrial applications, sensor networks have to satisfy specified time requirements of exchanged messages. IEEE 802.15.4 defines the communication protocol of the physical and medium access control layers for wireless sensor networks, which support real-time transmission through guaranteed time slots (GTSs). In order to improve the performance of IEEE 802.15.4 in industrial applications, this paper proposes a new traffic scheduling algorithm for GTS. This algorithm concentrates on time-critical industrial periodic messages and determines the values of network and node parameters for GTS. It guarantees real-time requirements of periodic messages for industrial automation systems up to the order of tens to hundreds of milliseconds depending on the traffic condition of the network system. A series of simulation results are obtained to examine the validity of the scheduling algorithm proposed in this study. The simulation results show that this scheduling algorithm not only guarantees real-time requirements for periodic message but also improves the scalability, bandwidth utilization, and energy efficiency of the network with a slight modification of the existing IEEE 802.15.4 protocol.

Guaranteeing quality of service over a multihop wireless network is difficult because end-to-end (ETE) delay is accumulated at each hop in a multihop flow. Recently, research has been conducted on network coding (NC) schemes as an alternative mechanism to significantly increase the utilization of valuable resources in multihop wireless networks. This paper proposes a new section-based joint NC and scheduling scheme that can reduce ETE delay and enhance resource efficiency in a multihop wireless network. Next, this paper derives the average ETE delay of the proposed scheme and simulates a TDMA network where the proposed scheme is deployed. Finally, this paper compares the performance of the proposed scheme with that of the conventional sequential scheduling scheme. From the performance analysis and simulation results, the proposed scheme gives more delay-and energy-efficient slot assignments even if the NC operation is applied, resulting in a use of fewer network resources and a reduction in ETE delay.

For a complex scheduling system like time table construction, its optimal solution, if exists, is hard to obtain. In this paper, the scheduling environment is reasonably confined as where objects have their own events competing for better slots on boards, and objects have their own board slot preferences and belong to one or more classes of the society which globally constrains them. Here, two phase method is suggested, where the first phase is human-like preference driven and the second phase is for fine tuning by considering all the factors given. Designed and implemented in our system HI-SCHED are dynamic object switching, temporal-constraint-driven intelligent backtracking, case-based revisions, object-based approach, and so on. Some satisfaction degrees are also defined to measure the usefulness of our method. In addition, look-ahead dynamic object switching is considered, and additional global constraints are introduced and processed. A simple scheme is also used to verify the usefulness of the post processing scheme.
