We propose a scheduling algorithm, Bandwidth Allocation Scheme (BAS), that guarantees bounded delay in a switching node. It is based on the notion of the GPS (Generalized Processor Sharing) mechanism, which has clarified the concept of fair queueing with a fluid-flow hypothesis of traffic modeling. The main objective of this paper is to determine the session-level weights that define the GPS sewer. The way of introducing and derivation of the so-called system equation' implies the approach we take. With multiple classes of traffic, we define a set of service curves:one for each class. Constrained to the required profiles of individual service curves for delay satisfaction, the sets of weights are determined as a function of both the delay requirements and the traffic parameters. The schedulability test conditions, which are necessary to implement the call admission control, are also derived to ensure the proposed bandwidth allocation scheme' be able to support delay guarantees for all accepted classes of traffic. It is noticeable that the values of weights are tunable rather than fixed in accordance with the varying system status. This feature of adaptability is beneficial towards the enhanced efficiency of bandwidth sharing.

As the spectrum shortage problem has accelerated by the emergence of various services, New Radio-Unlicensed (NR-U) has appeared, allowing users who communicated in licensed bands to communicate in unlicensed bands. However, NR-U network users reduce the performance of Wi-Fi network users who communicate in the same unlicensed band. In this paper, we aim to simultaneously maximize the fairness and throughput of the unlicensed band, where the NR-U network users and the WiFi network users coexist. First, we propose an optimal power allocation scheme based on Monte Carlo Policy Gradient of reinforcement learning to maximize the sum of rates of NR-U networks utilizing rate-splitting multiple access in unlicensed bands. Then, we propose a channel occupancy time division algorithm based on sequential Raiffa bargaining solution of game theory that can simultaneously maximize system throughput and fairness for the coexistence of NR-U and WiFi networks in the same unlicensed band. Simulation results show that the rate splitting multiple access shows better performance than the conventional multiple access technology by comparing the sum-rate when the result value is finally converged under the same transmission power. In addition, we compare the data transfer amount and fairness of NR-U network users, WiFi network users, and total system, and prove that the channel occupancy time division algorithm based on sequential Raiffa bargaining solution of this paper satisfies throughput and fairness at the same time than other algorithms.

스케쥴링 알고리즘들은 제안된 패킷 지연을 가진 각 연결에 대하여보장된 대역을 제공한다. 스케쥴링 알고리즘의 일종인 WRR은 매우 간편하며 각 큐에 다른 가중치를 할당하여 여러 큐를 직접 제어한다. BSW 알고리즘은 WRR 스케쥴러를 구현하는데 버퍼 관리를 효율적으로 수행하도록 제안되었다. 그러나 BSW 알고리즘은 VC에 실제 할당된 가중치 보다 더 많은 가중치를 할당하고 서비스 받을 VC의 큐가 비어있을 때 서비스를 수행하지 않기 때문에 셀 지연 및 최대 큐 길이에서 심각한 성능 저하를 유발한다. 본 논문에서는 WRR 스케쥴링 알고리즘을 효율적으로 수행할 수 있는 새로운 BSW 구조를 제안한다. 또한, 새로운 BSW 구조에 적합한 셀 스케쥴링 알고리즘을 개발한다. 제안된 BSW 구조와 알고리즘은 VC에 할당된 가중치를 정확히 유지 할 수 있고, 서비스 받을 VC큐가 비어 있을 경우 다른 VC 셀을 서비스하여 평균 셀 지연 및 최대 버퍼 크기를 감소시킨다. 그리고 셀 서비스율을 전체적으로 증가시킨다.

As a new service category to better support TCP traffic in ATM networks, the Guaranteed Frame Rate (GFR) service category aims to support minimum cell rate guarantee, fairly distribute available bandwidth while keeping the simplicity of Unspecified Bit Rate (UBR). In this paper, we proposed a buffer management scheme which uses the per-VC accounting of single FWO queue and capable of supporting both GFR.1 and GFR.2 conformance definition. The proposed buffer management deal with GFR.1 and GFR.2 conformance definitions differentially by controlling the number of CLP=0 cell and CLP=1 cell which are occupying buffer space. The simulation results show that our proposed scheme satisfies the requirements of GFR services as well as improves total fairness index and each conformance definition fairness index.

Ethernet-PON is an emerging access network technology that provides a low-cost method of deploying optical access lines between OLT and ONUs. It has a point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-point architecture in downstream and upstream direction, respectively. Therefore, downstream packets are broadcast from an OLT toward all ONUs sithout collision. On the other hand, since alt ONUs share a common channel, the collision may be occurred for the upstream transmission. Therefore, earlier efforts on Ethernet-PON have been concentrated on an upstream MAC protocol to avoid collision. But it is needed to control downstream traffic in practical access network, where the network provider limits available bandwidth according to the number of users. In this paper, we propose a traffic control scheme for supporting the fairness of the downstream bandwidth. The objective of this algorithm is to guarantee the fairness of ONUs while maintaining good performance. In order to do this, we define the service probability that considers the past traffic information for downstream, the number of tokens and the relative size of negotiated bandwidth. We develop the simulation model for Ethernet-PON to evaluate the rate-limiting algorithm by using AWESIM. Some results are evaluated and analyzed in terms of defined fairness factor, delay and dropping rate under various scenario.

Recently, many of the mobile network operators or telcos are introducing the LTE service in order to effectively cope with an explosive increasing mobile traffics due to an expansion of the use of smart phones. The 1.8GHz, 2.6GHz, and 800MHz band classes are most widely used for LTE. In particular, the 1.8GHz band class is the most useful one in terms of the reusability of the existing (2G) network, global harmonization, bandwidth, eco-system of equipments and devices, and so on. In recent years, major countries in the world have allocated the 1.8GHz band spectrum in a wide bandwidth unit suitable for the upcoming LTE-Advanced service. This paper surveyed the 1.8GHz band spectrum allocation policies of the 12 OECD countries, including Republic of Korea. From the survey, we have found that they rebuilt or refarmed the existing holders' bands, recovered the public (i.e., military)-use bands, and allocated the bands in a wide bandwidth and in an equal or similar size.

Recently, a study of BcN(Broadband convergence Network) is progressing continuously, and it is important to improve the quality of the service according to subscribers because a scale of network is about to be larger. It is more important to manage QoS(Quality of Service) of all subscribers in layer 2 than layer 3 network since managing it in layer 3 network cost both additional processes and large hardware. Moreover, QoS based on Best-Effort service has been developed because tots of subscribers should use limited resource in BcN. However, they want to be supplied with different service even though they pay more charge. Therefore, it is essential to assign the different bandwidth to subscribers depending on their level of charge. The method of current Rate Limiter limits the bandwidth of each port that does not offer fair service to subscribers. The Rate Limiter proposed in this paper limits bandwidth according to each subscriber. Therefore, subscribers can get fair service regardless of switch structure. This new Rate Limiter controls the bandwidth of subscribers according to the information of learning subscriber and manages maximum performance of Ethernet switch and QoS.

ATM 네트워크에서 다양한 트래픽을 특성과 QoS 요구사항을 갖는 멀티미디어 서비스의 종단간 품질을 만족시키면서 망 자원을 효율적으로 이용하기 위해서는 가상경로(virtual path : VP) 의 적절한 배치 및 대역 할당을 통한 논리적 망의 구성, 호 접속 시의 종적 경로 설정, 그리고 그와 연계된 효율적인 동적 대역 관리가 필수적으로 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 호가 시도될 때 논리적 망의 설계에서 설정된 가상경로의 대역으로 호의 품질 요구사항을 만족 시킬수 없거나 또는 미리 설정해 놓은 가상경로연결(VP Connection) 이 존재하지 않을 경우에 물리적 링크의 잔여용량을 기반으로 적절한 가상경로를 선택하여 용량을 재조정하기 위한 최적 관리 모델로서 MHR (Minimum Hop Route), MCR(Maximum Capacity Route), 그리고 MRCR (MaxMin Residual Capacity Route)방식을 제안하고 이에 대한 최적화 정식을 제안하였다. 제안된 각 최적화 모델에 대한 해를 노드의 수가 m인 네트워크에서 O(m2)의 복잡도로 구할 수 있는 알고리즘을 제시하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 제안된 최적화 모델이 망의 성능에 미치는 영향을 평균 호 차단률 평균 이용 링크의 수 , 그리고 노드 쌍간의 호 차단률의 분산등에 의해 망 운용의 효율성과 공평성등을 비교분석하였다.

TWDM PON (time and wavelength division multiplexed passive optical network) uses multiple wavelengths to transmit packets upstream and downstream. In upstream transmission, if we use only one wavelength, the unused bandwidth is equally distributed to each ONU (optical network unit). In contrast, when multiple wavelengths are used, the unused remainders of wavelengths are different from each other. Therefore, it is difficult to fairly allocate the unused bandwidth to each ONU. This paper proposes a new method to allocate the unused bandwidth to each ONU in TWDM PON which uses multiple wavelengths.

The WRR scheduling algorithm is widely used in ATM networks due to its simplicity and the low cost of hardware implementation. It guarantees minimum cell rate according to the weight of each queue. The fairness is a important factor for ABR service. That is, scheduling algorithm allocates network resources fairly to each VC. However, WRR algorithm shows worse performance on bursty traffic. Because it schedules input traffics according to predetermined weight, it can not satisfies fairness criteria, MCR plus equal share and Maximum of MCR or Max-Min share, defined by ATM Forum TM 4.1 specification. The Nabeshima et al algorithm is not adapt to network status rapidly because it is not compensate the weights of unused bandwidth to VCs and assign the unused bandwidth to VCs by RR method. In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm for satisfying the two fairness criteria, MCR plus equal share and Maximum of MCR or Max-Min share, among the six criteria defined by ATM Forum TM 4.1 specification. The WRR, Nabeshima et al, and the proposed scheduling algorithms are compared with respect to fairness and convergence time throughout experimental simulation. According to the simulation results, the proposed algorithm shows higher fairness and more rapid convergence than other algorithms.
