Since real-time multimedia applications requiring duality-of-service guarantees are spreading over mobile and wireless networks, energy efficiency in wireless channels is becoming more important. Energy consumption in the channels can be reduced with decreasing the rate of scheduler's outgoing link by means of Dynamic Modulation Scaling (DMS). This paper proposes a fair queuing algorithm, termed Rate Efficient Fair Queuing (REFQ), in order to reduce the outgoing link's rate, which is based on the Latency-Optimized Fair Queuing algorithm developed to enhance Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ). The performance evaluation result shows that REFQ does decrease the link rate by up to 35% in comparison with that in WFQ, which results in reducing the energy consumption by up to 90% when applied to the DMS based radio modem.

WFQ (Weighted Fair Queuing) is the most popular fair queuing algorithm, but it had the inherent drawback of a poet bandwidth utilization, particularly under the traffic requiring a low rate but tight delay bound such as internet phone. It was recently identified that the poor utilization is mainly due to the non-optimized latency of a flow and then LOFQ(Latency-Optimized Fair Queuing) to overcome the drawback was introduced. In this paper, we improve the performance of LOFQ by introducing an occupied resource optimization function and reduce the implementation complexity of recursive resource transformation by revising the transformation scheme. We also prove the superiority of LOFQ over WFQ in terms of utilization. The simulation result shows that the improved LOFQ provides $20{\sim}30%$ higher utilization than that in the legacy LOFQ.

WFQ(Weighted Fair Queuing) is the most popular fair queuing algorithm to guarantee the Quality-of-Service(QoS), but it has the inherent drawback of a poor resource utilization, particularly under the low rate traffic requiring a tight delay bound. It was recently identified that the poor utilization is mainly due to non-optimized latency of a traffic flow and then LOFQ(Latency-Optimized Fair Queuing) to overcome the drawback was introduced. The LOFQ algorithm, however, renews their optimal latencies for all flows whenever a new flow arrives, which results in the high implementation complexity of O($N^2$).This paper is to reduce thecomplexity to O(1). The proposed method is first to derive the optimal latency index function from the statistical QoS characteristics of the offered load, and then to simply calculate the optimal latency index of the arriving flow using the function.

WBAN is short range wireless communication technology which is consists of several small devices close to, attached to or implanted into the human body. WBAN is classified into between medical and non-medical by applications based on technology and medical data with periodic characteristics is used the GTS method for transmitting data to guarantee the QoS. In this paper we proposed algorithm that resolve lack of GTSs while data transmit GTS method in superframe structure of WBAN. Coordinator dynamically allocates GTSs according to the data rate of devices and make devices share GTSs when lack of GTSs. We compared delay bounds, throughput for performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm. In other words, we proposed algorithm adaptive WFQ scheduling that GTS allocation support differential data rate in environments of WBAN. The experiment results show the throughput increased and the maximum delay decreased compared with Round Robin scheduling.

RSVP-capable router supporting guaranteed services on the internet generally uses a packet scheduler based on the Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) algorithm to secure required qualities of traffic flows. A RSVP-capable router based on the LOFQ (Latency optimized fair queuing) algorithm had been proposed to improve the performance of the WFQ-based RSVP-router, but it required not only the RESV message to be expanded but also its performance could be evaluated only through simulation. This paper proposed a LOFQ based RSVP-capable router using the conventional RESV message and developed an algorithm to analyze the performance of the LOFQ based RSVP-capable routers. The performance evaluation using the developed algorithm showed that in terms of performance improvement the proposed router is inferior to the one using the expanded RESV message under a small packet size, but on the range of a large packet size both routers provide the same improvement.

WFQ(Weighted Fair Queuing)은 지연이나 공평성의 특성에 있어서 이상적인 트래픽 스케줄링 알고리즘으로 간주되었다. N세션에 서비스를 제공하는 WFQ 스케줄러의 스케줄링 연산은 각 패킷 전송 시간당 O(n)의 계산 복잡도를 가지며, 구현 또한 복잡하다. Self-Clocked Fair Queuing과 같은 WFQ 알고리즘의 구현을 간단히 하고자 하는 노력은 지연범위나 특성에 영향을 주게 되어 다양한 트래픽이 제공되는 경우 각 트래픽의 공평성을 지원해주지 못한다. 그러므로 지연이나 지연 변이 측면에서 공평성을 지원하고 구현상의 계산 복잡도를 줄인 스케줄링 알고리즘이 필요하게 되었다. ATM 다중화기의 셀 스케줄링 알고리즘 역시, ATM의 특성상 다양한 특성의 서비스를 제공하기 위해서, 다양한 특성의 트래픽에 대한 공평성을 제공하는 새로운 알고리즘의 연구가 필요하다. 이 논문에서는 ATM 스위치 내의 다중화기에서 사용되는 새로운 셀 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안하고 실험을 통해 이 알고리즘의 성능을 검증하고자 한다. 이 알고리즘은 여러 개의 우선 순위 큐를 갖고, 각 우선순위 큐마다 스케줄링 연산이 O(1)의 계산 복잡도를 갖는 Parallel Priority Queuing 알고리즘이다.

SVP-capable router supporting guaranteed services on the internet generally uses a packet scheduler based on the Weighted Fair Queuing(WFQ) algorithm to secure required qualities of traffic flows. In this paper we proposed a RSVP-capable router based on the LOFQ(Latency optimized fair queuing) algorithm that improves the efficiency in bandwidth utilization with keeping the compatibility with the original RSVP procedure. The proposed router reserves the optimal amount of resource for each flow to secure its required quality-of-service with the recently introduced LOFQ scheduler. The results of the simulation applying the proposed router to an evaluation network showed that it may yield the gain of up to 30% compared to that in the original one in terms of the number of admitted flows.
