In this letter, we consider a new packet scheduling algorithm for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing access/frequency division duplex (OFDMA/FDD)-based system, e.g., mobile broadband wireless access or high-speed portable internet systems, in which the radio resources of both time and frequency slots are dynamically shared by all users under a proper scheduling policy. Our design objective is to increase the number of non-realtime service (e.g., WWW) users that can be supported in the system, especially when the minimum bit rate requirement is imposed on them. The simulation results show that our proposed algorithm can provide a significant improvement in the average outage probability performance for the NRT service, i.e., significantly increasing the number of NRT users without much compromising of the cell throughput.

Moldable parallel tasks are widely used in different areas, such as weather forecast, biocomputing, mechanical calculation, and so on. Considering the deadline and the speedup, scheduling moldable parallel tasks becomes a difficulty. Past work majorly focuses on the LA (List Algorithms) or OMA (Optimizing the Middle Algorithms). Different from prior work, our work normalizes execution time and makes all tasks have the same scope in normalized execution time: [0,1], and then according to the normalized execution time, a method is used to search for the reference execution time without considering the deadline of tasks. According to the reference execution time, we get an initial scheduling result based on AFCFS (Adaptive First Comes First Served) policy. Finally, a heuristic approach is used to improve the performance of the initial scheduling result. We call our method HSRET (a Heuristic Scheduling method based on Reference Execution Time). Comparisons to other methods show that HSRET has good performance in AWT (Average Waiting Time), AET (Average Execution Time), and PUT (Percentages of Unfinished Tasks).

위성을 통한 통신 서비스는 음성 통신 서비스와 같은 실시간 응용 서비스와 데이터 통신과 같은 비실시간 응용 서비스가 함께 제공되는 것이 일반적이다. 위성을 통하여 특성을 달리하는 여러 개의 응용 서비스를 함께 제공하기 위해서는 서비스의 클래스(COS : Class of Service)에 따라 우선순위를 달리하는 우선순위 스케줄링이 필요하다. 그러나 기존의 우선순위 스케줄링 기법은 우선순위가 낮을 경우, 서비스를 받지 못하는 굶주림(Starvation) 현상이 발생하는 문제점이 있었다. 본 논문에서는 COS에 따라 각기 다른 프리미엄을 주고, 스케줄링을 받지 못한 패킷은 Age를 증가시켜 가면서, Age와 프리미엄의 합이 가장 큰 패킷을 선택하는 프리미엄 기반 우선순위 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 스케줄링 기법은 고정 우선순위 스케줄링 기법에 비하여 우선순위가 낮은 서비스에 있어서 평균지연시간이 개선되었고, 지연시간에 대한 표준편차에 있어서도 기존의 고정 우선순위 기법에 비하여 개선되었음을 보여 주였다. 제안한 프리미엄 기반 우선순위 스케줄링 기법에서는 기존의 고정 우선순위 스케줄링 기법에서와 같은 무한정 굶주림 상태가 되지 않는다.

As recent production facilities are usually operated with unmanned material-handling system, the development of an efficient schedule with deadlock avoidance becomes a critical problem. Related researches on deadlock avoidance usually focus on real-time control of manufacturing system using deadlock avoidance policy. But little off-line optimization of deadlock-free schedule has been reported. This paper presents an optimization method for deadlock-free scheduling for Job-Shop system with no buffer. The deadlock-free schedule is acquired by the procedure that generates candidate lists of waiting operations, and applies a deadlock avoidance policy. To verify the proposed approach, simulation resultsare presented for minimizing makespan in three problem types. According to the simulation results the effect of each deadlock avoidance policy is dependent on the type of problem. When the proposed LOEM (Last Operation Exclusion Method) is employed, computing time for optimization as well as makespan is reduced.

We investigate the scheduling problem for periodic job shops with blocking. We develop Petri net models for periodic job shops with finite buffers. A buffer control method would allow the jobs to enter the input buffer of the next machine in the order for which they are completed. We discuss difficulties in using such a random order buffer control method and random access buffers. We thus propose an alternative buffer control policy that restricts the jobs to enter the input buffer of the next machine in a predetermined order. The buffer control method simplifies job flows and control systems. Further, it requires only a cost-effective simple sequential buffer. We show that the periodic scheduling model with finite buffers using the buffer control policy can be transformed into an equivalent periodic scheduling model with no buffer, which is modeled as a timed marked graph. We characterize the structural properties for deadlock detection. Finally, we develop a mixed integer programming model for the no buffer problem that finds a deadlock-free optimal sequence that minimizes the cycle time.

일괄 수용 서비스 스케줄링에서의 배칭(Batching) 기법은 서비스를 요청한 사용자들을 일정 시간 동안 그룹화하여 한꺼번에 서비스하기 때문에 서비스 개시를 위한 지연시간이 발생한다. 그러나 이 지연시간을 효과적으로 제어하지 못하면 대기시간의 불규칙으로 서비스 공정성이 저하되고, 서비스 취소가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 배칭(Batching) 기법인 선입 선출(FCFS) 및 빈도수 우전 방식(MQL)에서 문제시되던 평균 대기시간의 증가, 비 인기 비디오의 서비스 지연 문제를 해결하기 위한 리그 배칭 정책을 제안한다. 본 스케줄링 정책의 개념은 사용자의 요구와 파티션 디스크의 서비스 형태를 감안한 리그를 기초로 한다. 이를 시뮬레이션 한 결과, 기존의 방식들에 비하여 서비스 평균 지연 시간을 약 18% 정도 단축된 향상된 결과를 보임을 입증하였다.

Multihop relay-based cellular networks are attracting much interest because of their throughput enhancement, coverage extension, and low infrastructure cost. In these networks, relay stations (RSs) between a base station (BS) and mobile stations (MSs) drastically increase the overall spectral efficiency, with improved channel quality for MSs located at the cell edge or in shadow areas, and enhanced throughput of MSs in hot spots. These relay-based networks require an advanced radio resource management scheme because the optimal amount of radio resource for a BS-to-RS link should be allocated according to the MS channel quality and distribution, considering the interference among RSs and neighbor BSs. In this paper, we propose optimal resource planning algorithms that maximize the overall utility of relay-based networks under a proportional fair scheduling policy. In the first phase, we determine an optimal scheduling policy for distributing BS-to-RS link resources to RSs. In the second phase, we determine the optimal amount of the BS-to-RS link resources using the results of the first phase. The proposed algorithms efficiently calculate the optimal amount of resource without exhaustive searches, and their accuracy is verified by comparison with simulation results, in which the algorithms show a perfect match with simulations.

Task scheduling is one of the key issues in improving system performance and optimizing resource management in cloud computing environment. In order to provide appropriate services for heterogeneous users, we propose a novel task scheduling strategy with service differentiation, in which the delay sensitive tasks are assigned to the rapid cloud with high-speed processing, whereas the fault sensitive tasks are assigned to the reliable cloud with service restoration. Considering that a user can receive service from either local SaaS (Software as a Service) servers or public IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) cloud, we establish a hybrid queueing network based system model. With the assumption of Poisson arriving process, we analyze the system model in steady state. Moreover, we derive the performance measures in terms of average response time of the delay sensitive tasks and utilization of VMs (Virtual Machines) in reliable cloud. We provide experimental results to validate the proposed strategy and the system model. Furthermore, we investigate the Nash equilibrium behavior and the social optimization behavior of the delay sensitive tasks. Finally, we carry out an improved intelligent searching algorithm to obtain the optimal arrival rate of total tasks and present a pricing policy for the delay sensitive tasks.

본 논문에서는 프레임 기반 스케줄러에서 지연시간에 민감한 트래픽에 대해 지연시간을 쉽게 제한하기 위한 대기시간 기반 주기적 패킷 폐기 기법에 대해 소개한다. 이 기법은 프레임 기반 스케줄러에서 매 스케줄링 시점에 임계값보다 오래 버퍼에 머물러 있는 패킷을 폐기하는 방법으로 지연시간을 제한한다. 본 논문에서는 제안하는 기법에 대해 혼잡상황에서의 평균 큐잉 지연시간 및 패킷 손실율을 수식적으로 분석하고, 시뮬레이션 결과와 비교하였다. 성능 분석 결과, 제안한 패킷 폐기 기법은 임계값 설정으로 패킷의 큐잉 지연시간을 쉽게 제한할 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 패킷 폐기를 스케줄링 이전에 수행함으로 서비스 처리율의 제한이 가능함을 확인하였다.

An approach to irrigation scheduling for chinese caggage is presented, and a crop yield response function to soil moisure is derived from irrigation experiments, based on a root- zone water balance method. The paper concludes that crop yield can be estimated by allowable depletion and actual evapotranspiration in 3 cropping stages, and presents the optimal allowalbe depletion, irriga- tion frequency and the amount of irrigation water to get the maximum crop yield and opti- mal irrigation policy.
