Backpressure based scheduling has been considered as a promising technique for improving the throughput of a wide range of communication networks. However, this scheduling technique has not been well studied for heterogeneous wireless networks. In this paper, we propose a virtual-queue based backpressure scheduling (VQB) algorithm for heterogeneous multi-hop wireless networks. The VQB algorithm introduces a simple virtual queue for each flow at a node for backpressure scheduling, whose length depends on the cache size of the node. When calculating flow weights and making scheduling decisions, the length of a virtual queue is used instead of the length of a real queue. We theoretically prove that VQB is throughput-optimal. Simulation results show that the VQB algorithm significantly outperforms a classical backpressure scheduling algorithm in heterogeneous multi-hop wireless networks in terms of the packet delivery ratio, packet delivery time, and average sum of the queue lengths of all nodes per timeslot.

A cell scheduling method of Queue for the ATM switch is proposed and simulated. In this paper, we present the cell scheduling method proper to the proposed queue and the improved queue with Queue Sharing(QS) structure for CBR, VBR, ABR traffic. The proposed QS structure minimizes the CLS(Cell Loss Ratio) of ABR traffic and decreases the CLR of bursty VBR traffic. Also we propose a cell scheduling method using VRR(Variable Round Robin) scheme proper to the high-speed(ATM) switch. The VRR scheme provides a fairness in terms of service chance for the queues in the ATM switch as well as QOS of their cell delay characteristic of CBR and VBR traffic, QOS of ABR CLR. The simulation results show the proposed method achieves excellent CLR and average cell delay performance for the various ATM traffic services in the Queue Sharing structure.

최근 멀티미디어 데이터 서버로 리눅스 시스템을 쓰는 경우가 많아 졌다. 이 경우, 멀티미디어 데이터에 관한 서비스를 효율적으로 제공할 수 있어야 한다. 이를 위하여, 본 논문에서는 기존의 리눅스 scheduling 방식이 갖는 단일레벨 run-queue 구조를 변형한 다중레벨 run-queue를 제안하였다. 기존의 단일레벨 run-queue에서는 queue 내에 프로세스의 수가 많아질수록 검색시간이 길어지는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 run-queue를 여러 단계로 나누고, scheduling 과정에서 상위 queue부터 프로세스가 존재하는지를 조사하도록 스케줄러를 변형하였다. 따라서, 상위 queue에 프로세스가 있는 경우에는 하위의 queue는 더 이상 조사한 필요가 없게 되므로. 결과적으로 검색시간을 줄일 수 있게 된다. 한편, 다중 레벨의 run-queue를 사용할 경우, 이를 관리하기 위한 오버헤드가 별도로 발생한다. 본 논문에서는, 제안한 다중레벨의 run-queue 시스템의 성능을 최적화하기 위하여, queue의 적절한 개수 선정 및 각 프로세스를 어떤 queue에 넣을 것인지를 결정하는 것이 성능에 미치는 영향에 대하여 실험적으로 연구하여 새로운 스케줄러의 성능을 기존 스케줄러와 비로 분석하였다. 본 논문에서 제안한 멀티레벨 run-queue를 사용함으로써, 각 queue의 스케줄링 정책(policy)과 관련 파라메터 간을 독자적으로 변화시킬 수 있다. 따라서, 여러 가지 상황에 적합한 스케줄링을 각각의 경우에 맞게 최적화하는 것이 손쉬워 지므로 여러 분야에서 매우 유용하게 쓰일 것이다.

Grid computing is a service that share geographically distributed computing resources through high speed network. In this paper, we propose hybrid scheduling scheme which considers not only meta-scheduling scheme to distribute the job between the nodes of grid computing system but also the job scheduling to distribute the job within the local nodes. According to the number of processors needed and expected execution time, the job with high priority is allocated to job queue while the one with low priority and remote job are allocated to backfill queue. We evaluate the proposing scheme through the various experiments and the results show that the utilization of grid computing system increases and the job slowdown decreases.

We analyze $MAP_1,\;MAP_2$/G/1 finite queues with service scheduling function dependent upon queue lengths. The customers are classified into two types. The arrivals of customers are assumed to be the Markovian Arrival Processes (MAPs). The service order of customers in each buffer is determined by a service scheduling function dependent upon queue lengths. Methods of embedded Markov chain and supplementary variable give us information for queue length of two buffers. Finally, the performance measures such as loss probability and mean waiting time are derived. Some numerical examples also are given with applications in telecommunication networks.

We analyze queueing model with priority scheduling by supplementary variable method. Customers are classified into two types (type-1 and type-2 ) according to their characteristics. Customers of each type arrive by independent Poisson processes, and all customers regardless of type have same general service time. The service order of each type is determined by the queue length of type-1 buffer. If the queue length of type-1 customer exceeds a threshold L, the service priority is given to the type-1 customer. Otherwise, the service priority is given to type-2 customer. Method of supplementary variable by remaining service time gives us information for queue length of two buffers. That is, we derive the differential difference equations for our queueing system. We obtain joint probability generating function for two queue lengths and the remaining service time. Also, the mean queue length of each buffer is derived.

We analyze two finite buffers queueing system with priority scheduling dependent upon queue length. Customers are classified into two types ( type-l and type-2 ) according to their characteristics. Here, the customers can be considered as traffics such as voice and data in telecommunication networks. In order to support customers with characteristics of burstiness and time-correlation between interarrival, the arrival of the type-2 customer is assumed to be an Markov- modulated Poisson process(MMPP). The service order of customers in each buffer is determined by the queue length of two buffers. Methods of embedded Markov chain and supplementary variable give us information for queue length of two buffers. Finally, performance measures such as loss and mean delay are derived.

Quality of Service (QoS) in the Internet depends on queuing and sophisticated scheduling in routers. In this paper, we address the issue of managing traffic flows with different priorities. In our reference model, incoming packets are first classified based on their priority, placed into different queues with different capacities, and then multiplexed onto one router link. The fuzzy nature of the information on Internet traffic makes this problem particularly suited to fuzzy methodologies. We propose a new solution that employs a fuzzy inference system to dynamically and efficiently schedule these priority queues. The fuzzy rules are derived to minimize the selected Lyapunov function. Simulation experiments show that the proposed fuzzy scheduling algorithm outperforms the popular Weighted Round Robin (WRR) queue scheduling mechanism.

Packet schedulers for real-time communication must provide bounded delay and efficient use of network resources such as bandwidth, buffers and so on. In order to satisfy them, a large number of packet scheduling methods have been proposed. Among packet scheduling methods, an EDF (Earliest Deadline First) scheduling is the optimal one for a bounded delay service. A disadvantage of EDF scheduling is that queued packets must be sorted according to their deadlines, requiring a search operation whenever a new packet arrives at the scheduler. Although an RPQ (Rotating Priority Queue) scheduler, requiring large size of buffers, does not use such operation, it can closely approximate the schedulability of an EDF scheduler. To overcome the buffer size problem of an RPQ scheduler, this paper proposes a new scheduler named MRPQ (Multiple Rotating Priority Queue). In a MRPQ scheduler, there are several layers with a set of Queues. In a layer, Queues are configured by using a new strategy named block Queue. A MRPQ scheduler needs nearly half of buffer size required in an RPQ scheduler and produces schedulability as good as an RPQ scheduler.

In this paper we propose a new packet scheduling mechanism to improve TCP throughput and fairness with estimated link state information in wireless networks, in which mobile hosts are receivers. Since a priori estimated link state information is used in this proposed mechanism, the entire packet transmission time can be reduced. In other words, packets scheduling procedure is performed before packets are transmitted using estimated link state. The proposed mechanism also has an temporary FIFO queue to store packets which are on the head of queue and can not be transmitted due to bad link state. Using this temporary FIFO queue, HOL(Head of Line) problem of FIFO queue can be resolved.
