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.

The multimedia ad hoc wireless network is quite an attractive issue since it offers a flexible solution to enable delivery of multimedia services to mobile end users without fixed backbone networks. However, with the unique design challenges of ad hoc wireless networks, it is a non-trivial issue to provide bounded delay guarantee, with fair share of resources. In this paper, we proposed distributed implementation of the delay guaranteed fair queueing (DGFQ) scheme in multimedia ad hoc wireless networks. Through the the results of performance evaluation, we can conclude that DGFQ also performs well to control bounded delay in multimedia ad hoc wireless networks.

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.

The GTS(Guaranteed Time Slot) of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, which is the contention free access mechanism, is used for low-latency applications or applications requiring specific data bandwidth. But it has some problems such as delay of service due to FIFS(First In First Service) scheduling. In this paper, we proposes a weight based GTS allocation scheme for fair queuing in IEEE 802.15.4 LR-WPAN. The proposed scheme uses a weight that formed by how much more weight we give to the recent history than to the older history for a new GTS allocation. This scheme reduces service delay time and also guarantees transmission simultaneously within a limited time. The results of the performance analysis shows that our approach improves the performance as compared to the native explicit allocation mechanism defined in the IEEE 802.15.4 standard.

One of the main issues in Diffserv AS architecture is guaranteeing fairness among the flows which have their own QoS requirements. Because the methodology of resource allocation and traffic conditioning would affect the end-to-end QoS and backbone link utilization. In this paper, we propose a variant of TSW algorithm for enhancing fair bandwidth allocation and link utilization and presents performance evaluation between TSW & TS2W3C through NS-2 Simulations.

In the near future packet networks should support applications which can not predict their traffic requirements in advance, but still have tight quality of service requirements, e.g., guaranteed bandwidth, jitter, and packet loss. These dynamic characteristics mean that the sources can be made to modify their data transfer rates according to network conditions. Depending on the customer&; needs, network operator can differentiate incoming connections and handle those in the buffers and the interfaces in different ways. In this paper, dynamic QoS-aware scheduling algorithm is presented and investigated in the single node case. The purpose of the algorithm is in addition to fair resource sharing to different types of traffic classes with different priorities ?to maximize revenue of the service provider. It is derived from the linear type of revenue target function, and closed form globally optimal formula is presented. The method is computationally inexpensive, while still producing maximal revenue. Due to the simplicity of the algorithm, it can operate in the highly nonstationary environments. In addition, it is nonparametric and deterministic in the sense that it uses only the information about the number of users and their traffic classes, not about call density functions or duration distributions. Also, Call Admission Control (CAC) mechanism is used by hypothesis testing.

본 논문에서는 OFDMA-TDD 환경에서 서비스 사용자들에게 QoS 를 보장해줄 수 있도록 예측 알고리즘을 이용하여 한정된 무선 자원을 효율적이고 공정하게 스케줄링 해주는 알고리즘을 연구하였다. 예측 알고리즘은 각 사용자의 이동 정보와 단말들의 변화해온 채널상태의 history data 를 이용하여 앞으로의 채널상태를 예측하고, 예측된 결과는 사용자의 이동 정보와 함께 무선 자원 스케줄링에 적용한다. 또한 이동단말과 고정단말이 공존하는 환경에서는 QoS 보장에 있어 공정하지 않음을 밝히고, 이와 같은 문제를 해결하는 방안을 제안하였으며, 실험결과를 PF 알고리즘과 비교하였다.

DS(Differentiated Service)에서는 RSVP와 같이 개별 flow에 대한 QoS제공이 아닌 flow들의 집합(aggregate)으로 차등적인 서비스를 제공하는 방법이다. 확장성을 고려한 이러한 방안은 광역백본망 에서와 같이 수천, 수만의 flow들에 대해 서비스를 제공하고자 할때 flow들을 집합(aggregate)화 하여 차등적인 서비스를 제공하고자 하는 것은 매우 큰 의미가 있다고 할 수 있다. 하지만 DS에서는 Token Bucket 방법을 사용하여 트래픽 스트림을 측정하는 이유로 불특정 flow에 대해 심각한 QoS손실을 야기할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 자원공유의 공정성을 기여하기 위해 Traffic Conditioner에서 사전 모니터링 방법을 사용하고 이 모니터링 결과를 Weighted Fair Queuing의 파라메터로 사용하여 잉여 자원을 효율적으로 사용하는 방안을 제시한다.

We propose a new wireless fair queueing algorithm, WFQ-R (Wireless Fair Queueing with Retransmission), which is well matched with the LLR (Link Level Retransmission) algorithm and does not require channel prediction. In the WFQ-R algorithm, the share consumed by retransmission is regarded as a debt of the retransmitted flow to the other flows. Thus, the WFQ-R algorithm achieves wireless fairness with the LLR algorithm by penalizing flows that use wireless resources without permission under the MAC layer. Through simulations, we showed that our WFQ-R algorithm maintains fairness adaptively and maximizes system throughput. Furthermore, our WFQ-R algorithm is able to achieve flow separation and compensation.
