In this paper, we propose an urgency- and efficiency-based wireless packet scheduling (UEPS) algorithm that is able to schedule real-time (RT) and non-real-time (NRT) traffics at the same time while supporting multiple users simultaneously at any given scheduling time instant. The UEPS algorithm is designed to support wireless downlink packet scheduling in an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system, which is a strong candidate as a wireless access method for the next generation of wireless communications. The UEPS algorithm uses the time-utility function as a scheduling urgency factor and the relative status of the current channel to the average channel status as an efficiency indicator of radio resource usage. The design goal of the UEPS algorithm is to maximize throughput of NRT traffics while satisfying quality-of-service (QoS) requirements of RT traffics. The simulation study shows that the UEPS algorithm is able to give better throughput performance than existing wireless packet scheduling algorithms such as proportional fair (PF) and modified-largest weighted delay first (M-LWDF), while satisfying the QoS requirements of RT traffics such as average delay and packet loss rate under various traffic loads.

In this paper, we propose a packet scheduling algorithm for cellular relay networks by considering relay selection, variation of channel quality, and packet delay. In the networks, mobile users are equipped with not only cellular but also user relaying radio interfaces, where base station exploits adaptive high speed downlink channel. Our proposed algorithm selects a user with good cellular channel condition as a relay station for other users with bad cellular channel condition but can get access to relay link with good quality. This can achieve flexible packet scheduling by adjusting transmission rates of cellular link. Packets are scheduled for transmission depending on scheduling indexes which are calculated based on user's achieved transmission rate, packet utility, and proportional fairness of their throughput. The performance results obtained by using computer simulation show that the proposed scheduling algorithm is able to achieve high network capacity, low packet loss, and good fairness in terms of received throughput of mobile users.

In this paper, we propose a packet scheduling discipline called packet loss fair scheduling, in which the packet loss of each user from different real-time traffic is fairly distributed according to the quality of service requirements. We consider an orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) system. The basic frame structure of the system is for the downlink in a cellular packet network, where the time axis is divided into a finite number of slots within a frame, and the frequency axis is segmented into subchannels that consist of multiple subcarriers. In addition, to compensate for fast and slow channel variation, we employ a link adaptation technique such as adaptive modulation and coding. From the simulation results, our proposed packet scheduling scheme can support QoS differentiations while guaranteeing short-term fairness as well as long-term fairness for various real-time traffic.

To realize the wireless packet scheduler which efficiently considers both the effect of adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) scheme due to variable wireless communication channel information from physical layer and the QoS differentiation of multimedia services from internet protocol (IP) layer, this paper proposes a new downlink AMC-based priority queuing (APQ) scheduler which combines AMC scheme and service priority method in multimedia services at the same time. The result of numerical analysis shows that the proposed APQ algorithm plays a role in increasing the number of services satisfying the mean waiting time requirements per each service in multimedia services because the APQ scheme allows the mean waiting time of each service to be reduced much more than existing packet scheduler having only user selection processor.

3GPP(3rd Generation Partnership Project)에서 표준화 중인 LTE(Long Term Evolution) 시스템은 고품질의 다양한 서비스를 제공하기 위한 차세대 이동통신 기술로써, 최근 LTE 시스템의 무선자원 사용효율을 향상시키기 위한 하향링크 스케줄링 기법 연구가 활발하게 수행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 무선 채널 상태나 공정성뿐만 아니라 다양한 트래픽 종류의 지연에 대한 QoS 요구사항을 보장하기 위해서 지연 가중치(delay weight) 함수를 적용한 DAPS(Delay-Aware Packet Scheduling) 알고리즘을 제안한다. DAPS 알고리즘은 패킷의 큐잉 지연이 허용되는 최대 지연에 가까울수록 지연 가중치를 증가시켜 높은 우선순위를 제공함으로써 최대 허용 지연 이내에 처리되는 패킷의 수를 증가시킨다. 모의실험 결과 DAPS 알고리즘은 기존 스케줄링 알고리즘과 비교하여 전송되는 패킷의 큐잉 지연이 최대 허용되는 지연을 초과할 확률을 최소화하여 패킷 지연에 관한 성능을 개선하였다.

본 논문은 IEEE 802.16e 기반의 TDD-OFDMA 하향 링크에서의 수율 공평성 및 서비스 커버리지 보장을 위한, WFS(weighted Fair scheduling) 알고리즘과 TGS(Throughput Guarantee Scheduling) 알고리즘을 제안하고, RR(Round Robin), PF(Proportional Fair), FFTH(Fast Fair Throughput), FTH(Fair Throughput) 스케줄링 알고리즘과의 비교를 통한 성능 분석을 수행하였다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능은 64 kbps와 128 kbps 의 두 개의 최소 사용자 수율 요구 조건에서의 서비스 커버리지, 유효 섹터 수율, 공평성 평가를 통하여 분석되었다. 상대적으로 낮은 64 kbps 요구 조건에서, 제안된 알고리즘은 lxEV-DV 공평성 기준을 만족시키면서, 기존의 스케줄링 방식들보다 서비스 커버리지 내의 가용 사용자 수를 증가시켰다. 또한 128 kbps 요구 조건에서는 PF 스케줄링 방식에 비하여 유효 섹터 수율의 손실이 거의 없이, 서비스 커버리지를 증가시킬 수 있음을 보였다.

The IEEE 802.16 standard is supposed to provide a wide-range broadband wireless service, but it leaves the implementation of the wireless resource scheduler as an open issue. We have studied the scheduling problem and propose a two level scheduling (TLS) scheme with support for quality of service and fairness guarantees for downlink traffic in a WiMAX network. A central controller Base Station has a number of users, and each mobile subscriber station has different channel conditions. The same mobile subscriber station may have different service requirements at different times in the WiMAX network. Based on OPNET simulation, the results show our scheduling algorithm can increase the network throughput, maintain relative fairness, and lower delay over the round robin and weighted round robin algorithms.

To provide a guaranteed Quality of Service (QoS) to real-time traffic in High-Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) core network, we proposed an enhanced mechanism. For an enhanced QoS, a Class-Based Low Latency Fair Queueing (CBLLFQ) packet scheduling algorithm is introduced in this work. Packet classification, metering, queuing, and scheduling using differentiated services (DiffServ) environment was the points in focus. To classify different types of real-time voice and multimedia traffic, the QoS provisioning mechanisms use different DiffServ code points (DSCP).The proposed algorithm is based on traffic classes which efficiently require the guarantee of services and specified level of fairness. In CBLLFQ, a mapping criterion and an efficient queuing mechanism for voice, video and other traffic in separate queues are used. It is proved, that the algorithm enhances the throughput and fairness along with a reduction in the delay and packet loss factors for smooth and worst traffic conditions. The results calculated through simulation show that the proposed calculations meet the QoS prerequisites efficiently.

본 논문에서의 패킷 스케줄러는 무선 채널 환경에서 실시간 비디오 트래픽과 비실시간 인터넷 트래픽을 동시에 서비스한다. 그리고 실시간 트래픽에 대한 지연을 감소 시기키 위하여 누적카운터와 SIR값을 동시에 고려하는 새로운 패킷 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 알고리즘에서는 실시간 트래픽을 비실시간 트래픽에 비하여 우선적으로 처리한다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 고찰할 때, 실시간 비디오 트래픽과 같이 지연성능에 민감한 서비스의 경우에는 AC(Accumulation Counter) 방식이 기존의 M-LWDF방식보다 더 적합한 알고리즘으로 관찰되었다. 본 논문에서는 HSDPA 시스템과 유사한 구조를 채택하여 시간 축으로는 프레임 주기를 가지며 동시에 코드 축으로는 OVSF 코드를 사용할 수 있는 구조를 채택하여 모의 실험을 수행하였다.
