To tackle complex and massive number of jobs sent by end users, a powerful and dedicated computational resources are required. Grid computing provides such environment in which applications may run for a quite long time. Therefore, efficient scheduling policy is indispensable. In our previous work, a mechanism named Swift Gap followed by developed completion time rule is introduced. This paper deeply...
Wearable devices, such as wristbands, smart-watches, eyewear, and wearable bio-monitors have become the focus of much attention in past year. One in ten U.S. consumers over the age of 18 now owns a modern activity tracker. These ubiquitous devices are a natural platform for formation of ad hoc networks. With almost 40% of users are above the age of 45, these older adopters are focused on improving...
In this paper, we propose, a new scheduling algorithm for LTE-A uplink systems entitled Multi-user Resource Allocation Process (MURAP). The latter supports uplink multi-user transmissions. Indeed, the main contribution of this work is to allocate the Physical Resources Blocks (PRBs) of all Component Carriers (CCs) to Real Time (RT) and-non Real Time (NRT) users using various criteria. Our proposed...
The smart grid is a modern electricity grid that uses wireless technologies to control and supervise the substation and the electricity generation and consumption sides. Several wireless technologies can be used for smart grid communication such as Long-Term evolution (LTE) and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX). However, LTE is the most compatible network for the smart grid because...
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) has been adopted in the newest fifth generation radio networks (5G) such as Cloud Radio Access Networks (C-RANs) and Heterogeneous Cloud Radio Access Networks (H-CRANs). Therefore, new scheduling strategies should be projected. In 5G radio networks, restricted requirements must be considered to implement an effective service to users such as throughput,...
WSN has become increasingly popular due to their wide range of applications. The sensor nodes are battery energetic with limited battery. In order to decrease the consumption of energy, scheduling of different packet type is of significant importance. Scheduling of packets helps in determining which packet should be serviced and manages the queue of packets. In this paper, an enhanced dynamic multilevel...
In 5G, heterogeneous broadband networks will emerge to a common set of objectives to offer the end users higher capacity, robustness, security, QoS, and more in a unified and converged manner. In order to provide end-to-end QoS support to application services over the heterogeneous networks, a common QoS framework is proposed in this paper. The framework consists of a two-level scheduling scheme:...
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is rapidly flourishing in the global market due to its speed, coverage, relative ease of deployment, and consistency. However, Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning scheme is not fully defined for LTE, and it is left open for researchers to explore. In this paper, we propose a QoS provisioning technique for LTE. This technique involves a two-level scheduling scheme, consisting...
Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access applications and QoS specifications are based upon class based schemes. These service classes effect to QoS for user fairness and system utilization. Improved MAX C/I algorithm considers user waiting time and channel to interference ratio but not class based scheduling schemes, after including this neglecting condition algorithm solves the problem of...
With the design of data communications in mind, 3GPP Long Term Evolution (LTE) mobile network is now considered as the most promising technology for Internet of EveryThings (IoE). The IoE incorporates four pillars: people, process, data, and things. The pillars interact in a way that establishes three main connections in the IoE environment: people communicate with people (P2P), machines communicate...
This paper proposes a new cross-layer based packet scheduling scheme for multimedia traffic in Long Term Evolution (LTE)/LTE Advanced (LTE-A) network. The effective use of the limited resources still remains a major challenge in mobile networks across the globe. A dynamic user scheduling scheme is very important towards actualizing an effective utilization of the limited available resources in LTE/LTE-A...
In a heterogeneous environment of 4G broadband networks, participating technologies orchestrate their own provisioning for the Quality of Service (QoS) management. As we move towards 5G, those technologies are moving towards a common set of objectives to offer the end users higher capacity, robustness, security, QoS, etc. in a unified and converged manner. In order to provide end-to-end QoS support...
Diverse scheduling strategies have been designed for video streaming traffic ranging from Quality of Service (QoS) aware scheduling rules to more complex video quality based scheduling strategies. In this work, we analyze and compare some of the well known scheduling rules for video streaming traffic. Our main goal is to compare and analyze different classes of scheduling strategies (QoS and video...
This paper proposes a hybrid scheduling scheme to combine the priority queueing and Packet General Processor Sharing (PGPS) algorithm for Multimedia Cloud Services in Software Defined Network (SDN). The network calculus theory is employed to develop modeling and analysis techniques for evaluating the QoS performance of the proposed scheduling scheme. Both analytical and numerical results obtained...
In this paper, waiting time analysis for the delay sensitive traffic especially in Internet of things (IoT) is performed. The analysis is based on probabilistic prediction approach for providing Quality of Service (QoS). A dynamic packet scheduling scheme is considered to provide service differentiation and preferential treatment to delay sensitive traffic. The scheduler focuses on reducing the waiting...
We consider a multihop wireless network with multiple users. The channels may experience fading. The power is consumed only during transmission and is a general monotonically increasing function of rate. We provide low complexity algorithms for joint routing, scheduling and power control which ensure stability of the queues, certain minimum rates and/or upper bound on the end-to-end, mean delays.
Service differentiation is known as on the classic and major tasks in IP networks. We propose a novel queuing method which benefits both “Less Impact Better Service” (LIBS) and fuzzy logic paradigms. LIBS leads us to a queuing method called non-congestive queuing, which prioritizes small packets when conditions permit to limit the delay impact of prioritization on congestive applications. In our proposed...
In this paper we propose a utility-based scheduling mechanism for mixed traffic in wireless networks to mitigate the problem that current scheduling algorithms cannot have a good performance in mixed traffic. The proposed algorithm called UBSA (Utility-Based Scheduling Algorithm) works in wired-wireless hybrid networks. Packets of diverse QoS (Quality of Service) classes are allocated to different...
The mobile ecosystem is currently facing tremendous changes; in particular, the actual deployment of 4G will probably not be sufficient to totally fit the upcoming mobile data traffic explosion. This mismatch may be explained by the low marginal revenues expectable from mobile data compared to huge investments it requires. Consequently, congestion may appear soon in radio access networks, thus degrading...
Packet schedulers are the key to guarantee quality of service in computer networks. The rate-controlled EDF schedulers embrace the good characteristics of output smoothness. But the methods used in the existing EDF schedulers to calculate eligible time are based on a real or virtual global system time, which is too complex to be implemented in high-speed networks. The paper presents a specific and...
