Round robin based proportional share scheduling(RRPS) defines weight which determines share for each task and allocates CPU resource to each task in proportional to its respective weight. RRPS uses fairness as the measure of performance and aims at high fairness of scheduling. However, researches for scheduling fairness problem due to synchronization among tasks have been rarely investigated. In this paper, we discuss that scheduling delay due to synchronization may result high unfairness in RRPS. We explain such a situation as weight inversion. We then propose weight inheritance protocol(WIP), a synchronization mechanism, that prevents weight inversion. We also show that WIP can reduce unfairness using fairness analysis and simulation.

In this paper, we propose a packet scheduling algorithm that assigns different number of HS-PDSCH(High Speed Primary Downlink Shared Channel) to the service user according to the received signal to interference ratio of CPICH(Common Pilot Channel) and to the traffic characteristics. Assigned channel number is determined by the signal to interference ratio level from CPICH. The highest signal to interference ratio user gets the number of channels based on the signal to interference ratio table and the remained channels are assigned to the other level users. Therefore the proposed scheme can provide the similar maximum service throughput and higher fairness than existing scheduling algorithm. Simulation results show that our algorithm can provide the similar maximum service throughput and higher fairness than MAX C/I algorithm and can also support the higher service throughput than proportional fairness scheme.

In this paper, a fairness scheme is proposed that assigns different number of HS-PDSCH to the service user according to the received SIR of CPICH. Assigned channel number is determined by the SIR level. The highest SIR user gets the number of channels based on the SIR table and the remained channels are assigned to the other SIR users. This scheme can serve the similar maximum service throughput and higher fairness than MAX CIR packet scheduling algorithm. This scheme can also serve the higher service throughput than Proportional Fairness scheme.

유무선 혼합 망에서 GFR서비스의 최소대역, 효율 및 트래픽 제어를 위한 버퍼관리 기법 등을 유무선 혼합망의 셀기반 네트워크에서 가중치를 높이는 시뮬레이션을 통해 공평성을 입증하는 연구를 한다. GFR서비스는 TCP/IP 패킷의 품질보장과 베스트 에포트 트래픽에 대한 최소의 대역폭 보장을 하며, 가용 대역폭에 대한 공평성 있는 대역할당을 지원해야 하기 때문에 버퍼관리를 통한 셀 폐기와 셀 스케줄링 둥이 중요한 요소이다. 본 논문에서는 유무선 혼합 네트워크에서 MCR을 보장하기 위하여 버퍼의 사용 가능한 영역의 활성 VC에 각 VC가중치를 비례해 할당하는 per-VC 어카운트에 기초한 트래픽 제어의 버퍼관리에 대한 유동적 WBA알고리즘을 제안하고 GFR 서비스의 효율 및 공평성을 유무선 혼합 망 셀 기반의 스위치를 이용하여 시뮬레이션으로 결과를 보인다.

본 논문에서는 인터넷 종단 호스트에서 공유 자원의 대역폭 제약조건과 종료시한 제악조건 모두를 만족시킬 수 있는 자원 할당 구조를 제안한다. 제안된 구조는 두 단계로 구성된다. 상위 단계에서는 비례 분배 스케줄러(proportional share scheduler)인 EFT-C/D (Earliest Finish Time Credit/Debit) 스케줄러가 수행된다. 이 스케줄러는 CPU와 같은 시분할 공유 자원을 하위 단계 스케줄러들에게 지정된 비율로 분배하는 역할을 한다. 그리고 하위 단계에서는 서로 다른 시간 제약조건이 부여된 태스크들을 스케줄링 하기위해 다양한 실시간 스케줄러가 수행된다. 본 연구의 주요 성과는 두 가지로 요약된다. 첫째, 이상적인 GPS (Generalized Processor Sharing) 서버와 거의 동등한 수준으로 자원을 공평하게 분배하는 EFT-C/D 알고리즘을 개발하였다. 둘째, 하위 단계에서 수행되는 EDF 스케줄러에 대해 이용율(utilization)에 기반한 스케룰링 가능성 분석 방법을 개발하였다. 이 방법은 주어진 태스크 집합에 대해 단순히 이용율만을 계산하여 스케줄링 가능성을 판별할 수 있다. 따라서 새로운 태스크가 생성될 때 수락 여부를 시스템 수행 중에 제어할 수 있는 장점이 있다.

In this paper, we present the FB(Fair Buffering) mechanism for the efficient support of TCP traffic over UBR connections in the subnet ATM model. We show that both throughput and fairness may be improved with the FB mechanism. The FB mechanism is founded on the observation that the performance of TCP over UBR connections is optimal when the buffer space is allocated in proportion to the connection's bandwidth-delay product. We compare through simulation the performance of the existing drop-tail, EB(Equal Buffering) and the proposed FB buffer management schemes, with and without RR(Roung-Robin) scheduling, and demonstrate that the proposed FB mechanism is most effective when used in conjunction with the RR scheduling scheme.

This paper proposes and analyzes a new media access control (MAC) scheduling algorithm, “Interleaved Polling with Deficit Round Robin (IPDRR)” that supports weighted fairness among ONUs in Ethernet Passive Optical Network (PON). The purpose of the proposed IPDRR algerian is not only to eliminate the unused bandwidth of upstream ONU traffic, but also to provide weighted fair sharing of upstream bandwidth among ONUs in Ethernet PON systems. Simulation results show that the IPDRR improves the utilization of upstream channel by removing the unused bandwidth and provides weighted fairness among ONUs, although the IPACT scheduling is unfair according to traffic characteristics.

In wireless networks there are various errors, caused by multi-path fading and interference between devices which lower the network Performance. Especially, performance of IEEE 802.IS.3 High-Rate WPAN (Wireless Personal Area Network) which is operated in ISM unlicensed frequency band is easily affected by channel errors. In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm which takes channel errors into consideration in scheduling asynchronous data traffic. The proposed scheduling algorithm can allocate CTA(Channel Time Allocation) proportionally in accordance with the requested channel time of each device. It also prevents waste of channel time by allocating CTA of the channel-error devices to other channel-error free devices. After recovering from the channel error, the devices are compensated as much as they conceded during channel error status. Simulation results show that the proposed scheduling algorithm is superior to the existing SRPT(Shortest Remain Processing Time) and RR(Round Robin) in throughput and fairness aspects.

The downlink scheduling algorithm has a great impact on the performance of mobile telecommunication system. In proportional fairness (PF) scheduling algorithm, the resource is allocated proportionally to the quality of wireless channel. Thus, PF has difficulty in servicing the users having more downlink traffic. One can allocate the resource proportionally to the accumulated queue length. However, this leads to system throughput degradation since the users having low channel quality get more and more resource allocated due to accumulation property of queue. In this paper, we propose a new downlink scheduling algorithm, which extends PF algorithm by incorporating downlink traffic arrival rate. The proposed algorithm can effectively cope with users having more downlink traffic, and maintain high system throughput by eliminating accumulation effect in the algorithm. With computer simulations, it is verified that the proposed algorithm performs better than existing algorithms.

The orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) systems are well suited to multi-rate multicast transmission, as they allow flexible resource allocation across both frequency and time, and provide adaptive modulation and coding schemes. Unlike layered video coding, the multiple description coding (MDC) enables flexible decomposition of the raw video stream into two or more substreams. The quality of the video stream is expected to be roughly proportional to data rate sustained by the receiver. This paper describes a mathematical model of resource allocation and throughput in the multi-rate video multicast for the OFDMA wireless and mobile networks. The impact on mean opinion score (MOS), as a measurement of user-perceived quality (by employing a variety of scheduling disciplines) is discussed in terms of utility maximization and proportional fairness. We propose a pruning algorithm to ensure a minimum video quality even for a subset of users at the resource limitation, and show the optimal number of substreams and their rates can sustain.
