As a demand for high speed uplink packet services increases, the WCDMA enhanced uplink, also known as high speed uplink packet access (HSUPA), has been specified in release 6 by 3GPP. This HSUPA will provide various types of multimedia services, such as real-time video streaming, gaming, VoIP, and FTP. Generally, the performance of HSUPA is dominated by scheduling policy. Therefore, it is required to design a scheduling algorithm considering the traffic characteristics to provide QoS guaranteed services in various traffic environments. In this paper, we propose a scheduling algorithm considering the traffic characteristics to guarantee QoS in a mixed traffic environment. Finally, the performance of the proposed scheduling algorithm is evaluated in terms of average packet delay, packet delay jitter, and system throughput using a system level simulator.

The high-speed portable internet service will be served in Korea sooner or later. However, the scheduling method for the packets of various service classes has not been determined clearly yet. An effective packet scheduling for various service classes requiring different QoS is necessary to increase the efficiency of radio channels that are the limiting resource. This paper proposes an improved uplink scheduling method to accommodate more calls and enhance channel efficiency. Suggested scheduling method reflects different channel conditions considering terminal's location within a cell to increase the transmission rate and utility of the channels. According to our simulation results, our proposed scheduling method shows a good performance in the aspect of throughput and capacity of uplink channels.

WiBro (Wireless Broadband Internet) system is going to be 9ot down to commercialization. The high portable internet system is able to be connected to the high-speed internet using 2.3 GHz frequency bandwidth, anytime and anywhere. An effective scheduling for UGS, rtPS, nrtPS and BE requiring different QoS, which are service types of the WiBro, is necessary to increase the efficiency of radio channels that are the limiting resource. This paper researches an uplink scheduling that plays a role in assignment for the radio channels from subscribers to base stations. The suggested scheduling provides priorities with each service type considering QoS of them but reserves some bandwidth for lower priory services. After deciding effective amount of bandwidth for reservation, we suggest analytical result on mean delayed time of packet transmission for each terminal, transmission rate for the data, and capacity for uplink. This research can be used as basic data for the standard in the high portable internet system and as data to predict the capacity of base stations.

The IEEE 802.16 wireless metropolitan area network (WMAN) standard is designed to correct expensive communication costs in CDMA-based mobile communication systems and limited coverage problems in wireless LAN systems. Thus, the IEEE 802.16e standard can provide mobile high-speed packet access between mobile stations and the Internet service provider through the base station with cheap communication fees. To efficiently accommodate voice over IP (VoIP) services in IEEE 802.16 systems, an uplink quality of service packet-scheduling scheme is proposed, and its performance is evaluated with an NS-2 network simulator in this paper. Numerical results show that this proposed scheme can increase the system capacity by 100% more than in the unsolicited rand service (UGS) scheme and 30% more than the extended real-time polling service (ertPS) scheme, respectively.

High Speed Uplink Packet Access(HSUPA) is a WCDMA Release 6 technology which corresponds to High Speed Downlink Packet Access(HSDPA). Node B Supports fast scheduling, Hybrid ARQ(HARQ), short Transmission Time Interval(TTI) for high rate uplink packet data. It is very important to detect Iub congestion to improve end user's Quality of Service(QoS). This paper proposes Node B Congestion Detection(BCD) mechanism and suggests to use the hybrid of Transport Network Layer(TNL) congestion detection and BCD. It is shown that HSUPA user throughput performance can be improved by the proposed method even with small Iub bandwidth.

IEEE 802.16은 BWA (Broadband Wireless Access) 시스템의 표준으로 현재 많은 연구와 함께 상용 제품에 대한 연구가 진행중인 분야이다. IEEE 802.16에서는 QoS를 제공하기 위하여 BS (Base Station)와 SS(Subscriber Station)간의 QoS 협상 과정을 정의하고 있으며, BS 및 SS에서의 효율적인 QoS 보장을 위해 4가지의 서비스 클래스를 정의하고 있다. 이러한 서비스 클래스는 UGS, rtPS, nrtPS, 그리고 BE 이다. 하지만 표준에서는 이러한 서비스 클래스를 어떻게 이용할 것인지에 대한 언급이 없으며, 이에 따라 효율적인 packet scheduling에 관한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 기존의 연구에서는 주로 BS에서의 효율적인 Scheduling에 초점을 맞추어 연구가 진행되었으며, SS에서의 Scheduling에 대한 연구는 거의 되어 있지 않다. 하지만 BS에서 SS에게 대역폭을 할당할 때 GPSS (Grants per subscriber station) mode로 대역폭을 할당한다면 SS에서는 할당 받은 대역폭을 효율적으로 사용하기 위하여 scheduling이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 SS에서의 scheduling architecture를 제안하고자 한다. 제안하는 scheduling architecture는 기존의 scheduling algorithm과는 달리 각 서비스 클래스에 대해서 효과적인 scheduling이 가능하도록 함으로써 시스템의 성능을 높이는데 기여할 것이다.

A defect of decrease in TCP throughput can be investigated in asymmetric environment of different uplink and downlink bandwidths. Under two-way TCP traffic, the total link utilization is decreased by the successive injection of data packets in buffer. To solve these problems, terminal ACK filtering and packet scheduling mechanisms are introduced in this paper. ACK filtering eliminates the buffered ACK packets and transmits recent ACK packets in the uplink with limited bandwidth. Packet scheduling is the method of preventing 'clustering' and 'ack compression' states which are generated in the two-way TCP traffic. The guarantee of the data traffic in reverse TCP connection and the high throughput in forward TCP connection are investigated by simulation.
