Five types of service flows are defined in the standard of IEEE 802.16. Each service flow has its own type of quality of service (QoS) requirement. Some scheduling algorithm is needed to satisfy the QoS requirement of each class. Traditional base station (BS) allocates bandwidth according to the request of user. However, the request may not equal to the real requirement in some situation. Thus, the...
Scheduling protocols that provide both rate and fairness guarantees, such as Weighted Fair Queuing, distribute the unused capacity among the flows in proportion to the reserved rate of the flows. Thus, flows whose reserved rate is the largest will receive a larger share of the unused capacity. We present a scheduling algorithm that first distributes unused capacity to those flows whose reserved rate...
In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm for mobile WiMAX networks that distributes dynamically the bandwidth among service flows while giving real-time packets more chances to satisfy their QoS requirements. The scheduling in the proposed algorithm is assisted by the subscriber stations, hence requiring two-schedulers, a scheduler at the BS and another one at the SS, where preemption is applied...
3G Long Term Evolution (LTE) is an all internet protocol (IP) based network and one of its main aims is to improve mobile multimedia services. This is achieved through streamlining the system for packet services. This leads to improvements in the form of higher bit rates, lower latencies, and a variety of service offerings. However, more challenging technical difficulties may be expected to arise...
To maximize the utilization of system resources with satisfying diverse quality of service (QoS) requirements, a novel multiple utility factors-based parallel (MUFP) packet scheduling algorithm is proposed for the broadcast base station (BBS) and cell base station (CBS) mixed mode of broadband wireless multimedia (BWM) systems. MUFP takes into consideration QoS requirements, queue dynamics and channel...
The LTE specification provides QoS of multimedia services with fast connectivity, high mobility and security. However, 3GPP specifications have not defined scheduling algorithms to support real time and non-real time application services. In this paper we propose a modified version of M-LWDF and EXP/PF scheduling algorithms based on token mechanism, which provide better performance to real time flows...
Given that statistical multiplexing of video streams is employed in enhanced Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service (e-MBMS), we address the issue of scheduling across the streams towards Advanced-Long Term Evolution (LTE-A) system, in order to improve the quality of service (QoS) performances. In this paper, the optimization problem of scheduling and resource allocation for separate streams is first...
Switch is the kernel of Avionics Full Duplex Switched Ethernet (AFDX) network, and its scheduling algorithm affects the switch's performance directly. Employing the Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduling method in the switch of AFDX network can overcome the disadvantages of Quality of Service (QoS) for emergent messages. EDF scheduling algorithm assigns a priority level for each arriving message,...
QoS sensitive applications have become increasingly popular. This paper presents end-to-end QoS control techniques to improve the network usage factor and the destination buffer utilization of the application. The data scheduling process of the QoS sensitive applications has been described. An analytical modeling of QoS performance has been put forward. End-to-end QoS evaluation metrics have been...
Traditional scheduling algorithms are focused in maximizing system throughput considering a grade of fairness. However, maximizing the system throughput does not necessarily result in maximizing the number of satisfied users (users with a packet delay below a threshold). Also, the throughput maximization could cause a low grade of fairness. In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm that maximizes...
Some current Internet applications (e.g., Grid/Cloud computing storage, video-conference) demand service differentiation, not only in terms of packet forwarding, but also at the connection level. To satisfy the demands for delay-sensitive and low-blocking applications, immediate reservation (IR) and advance reservation (AR) can be performed. Independent resource reservation of each type of network...
For the reliable control of Micro Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (MUAV) using IP based networks it is of high importance to assure certain quality of service warranties for the transmission of control information. The mobile WiMAX standard IEEE 802.16e defines five QoS Classes which represent different requirements concerning data rate and delay. The scheduling scheme which is used to fulfill these requirements...
Packet scheduling is key to QoS capabilities of broadband wired and wireless networks. In a heterogeneous traffic environment, a comprehensive QoS packet scheduler must strike a balance between flow fairness and access delay. Many advanced packet scheduling solutions have targeted fair bandwidth allocation while protecting delay-constrained traffic by adding priority queue(s) on top of a fair bandwidth...
The new DVB-S2 standard, introduced by ETSI, is mainly based on three key concepts: best transmission performance, total flexibility and reasonable receiver complexity. The Adaptive Coding and Modulation (ACM) scheme is the tecnique allowing to achieve these main goals. In particular, this tecnique allows to adapt the modulation and code levels, performed at the physical layer, at channel variations...
Interest in Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) has been growing due to its high speed data rate, wide area coverage and support for Quality of Service (QoS) requirement for different applications. There is a need for better scheduler to handle diversified QoS while increasing system efficiency. In this paper, we propose an Improvised-Modified Deficit Round Robin (I-MDRR) that not only meets the QoS requirements...
Qos provision is considered as the complex task due to the heterogeneous nature, diverse QoS requirements of emergent different applications. With the advent of high bandwidth 3G/4G technologies, like LTE, LTE-advanced, the necessity of QoS provision becomes even crucial. Uplink scheduling with QoS provision is considered here. The contribution of this work is uplink packet scheduling scheme maintaining...
With the growing need of high rate data services, 3GPP standard has investigated ways to support multimedia services with multi-carrier transmissions. Supporting high data rate guaranteeing the quality of service (QoS) and fairness of users is an important issue and should be addressed in an advanced wireless system. This paper investigates packet scheduling considering QoS of real-time traffic and...
In the Long Term Evolution system Discontinuous Transmission and Reception (DRX/DTX) has been introduced to extend the terminal battery lifetime. In this paper, we study the energy-saving provided by this mechanism and the impact on the QoS performance of Voice over IP (VoIP) traffic under dynamic and semi persistent packet scheduling strategies. Simulations and analytical results show that the DRX/DTX...
In today's wireless communication systems, the design of efficient packet scheduling algorithms at the MAC layer is proven to have significant impact on their overall performances. In the light of this fact, we propose and compare in this paper different scheduling techniques which aim at satisfying the users' requirements in terms of both rates and delays. The considered system is a downlink multi...
The last decade has shown a rapid growth in wireless communication technologies. Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) appear to be a promising evolution of traditional wireless communications. WMNs are involved to support a variety of services and traffic types. Real time applications like Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) require a strict Quality of Services (QoS) such as low end-to-end delay, low drop...
