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.

Change of state of Channel between two wireless terminals which is caused by noise and multiple environmental conditions for happens frequently from the Wireles Network. So, When it is like that planning a wireless network protocol or performance analysis, it follows to change of state of time-varying channel and packet the analysis against a transmission efficiency is necessary. In this paper, analyzes transmission time of a packet and a packet in a time-varying and packet based Wireless Network. To reflecte the feature of the time-varying channel, we use a Signal Flow Graph model. From the model the mean of transmission time and the mean of queue length of the packet are analyzed in terms of the packet distribution function, the packet transmission service time, and the PER of the time-varying channel.

Load distribution is vital to the performance of multipath transport. The task becomes more challenging in real-time multimedia applications (RTMA), which impose stringent delay requirements. Two key issues to be addressed are: 1) How to minimize end-to-end delay and 2) how to alleviate packet reordering that incurs additional recovery time at the receiver. In this paper, we propose sub-packet based multipath load distribution (SPMLD), a new model that splits traffic at the granularity of sub-packet. Our SPMLD model aims to minimize total packet delay by effectively aggregating multiple parallel paths as a single virtual path. First, we formulate the packet splitting over multiple paths as a constrained optimization problem and derive its solution based on progressive approximation method. Second, in the solution, we analyze queuing delay by introducing D/M/1 model and obtain the expression of dynamic packet splitting ratio for each path. Third, in order to describe SPMLD's scheduling policy, we propose two distributed algorithms respectively implemented in the source and destination nodes. We evaluate the performance of SPMLD through extensive simulations in QualNet using real-time H.264 video streaming. Experimental results demonstrate that: SPMLD outperforms previous flow and packet based load distribution models in terms of video peak signal-to-noise ratio, total packet delay, end-to-end delay, and risk of packet reordering. Besides, SPMLD's extra overhead is tiny compared to the input video streaming.

The third generation mobile communication needs to provide multimedia service with increased data rates. Thus an efficient allocation of radio and network resources is very important. This paper models the 'burst switching' as an efficient radio resource allocation scheme and the performance is compared to the circuit and packet switching. In burst switching, radio resource is allocated to a call for the duration of data bursts rather than an entire session or a single packet as in the case of circuit and packet switching. After a stream of data burst, if a packet does not arrive during timer2 value ($\tau_{2}$), the channel of physical layer is released and the call stays in suspended state. Again if a packet does not arrive for timerl value ($\tau_{1}$) in the suspended state, the upper layer is also released. Thus the two timer values to minimize the sum of access delay and queuing delay need to be determined. In this paper, we focus on the decision of $\tau_{2}$ which minimizes the access and queueing delay with the assumption that traffic arrivals follow Poison process. The simulation, however, is performed with Pareto distribution which well describes the bursty traffic. The computational results show that the delay and the packet loss probability by the burst switching is dramatically reduced compared to the packet switching.

본 논문에서는 N-채널 SAW(Stop and Wait) ARQ 재전송 기법을 채택하고 있는 HSDPA 시스템에서 HS-DSCH 채널의 성능 향상을 목적으로 선택적 패킷 지연(SPD :Selective Packet Delay) 기법을 제안한다. SPD 기법은 무선 채널 상태에 따라 적응적으로 패킷 전송을 제어하는 방법으로 채널 상태가 나쁜 경우에는 해당 패킷 전송을 일정시간 동안 강제 지연하고 대신에 해당 타임 슬롯을 채널 상태가 양호한 다른 사용자에게 할당해 주는 기법이다. 따라서 제안하는 기법은 버스트 에러 환경에서 연속적인 패킷 손실로 인해 발생하게 되는 긴 재전송 지연을 효과적으로 줄일 수 있는 특징을 가진다. 또한 SPD 기법에 효율적으로 적용될 수 있는 SPD-LDPF(Long Delayed Packet First)와 SPD-DCRR(Deficit Compensated Round Robin)의 두 종류의 패킷 스케줄링 기법을 제안한다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 제안한 기법은 패킷 평균지연 특성, 처리량 성능, 그리고 사용자간 공평성에서 모두 우수한 성능을 보임을 확인하였다.

멀티미디어의 프레임들은 QoS에 각각 다른 정도의 영향을 미치기 때문에, 패킷 손실을 줄이는 것이 항상 QoS를 향상시키는 것은 아니다. 사용자가 느끼는 QoS를 극대화하기 위해 본 논문은 중요성 기반 패킷 스케줄링을 제안한다. 중요성 기반 패킷 스케줄링 기법은 패킷 스케줄링의 두 가지 근본적인 문제를 해결한다. 하나는 "무엇을 보내는 가"이고 다른 하나는 "언제 보내는 가" 이다. 이용 가능한 대역폭이 계속 변화할 때, 대역폭에 적응하기 위해 모든 패킷을 보낼 수 없을 경우에는 일부의 패킷을 선택해서 보낼 수밖에 없다. 이를 위해 패킷 Significance를 제안하는데, 패킷 Significance는 효과적으로 프레임 상관관계를 파악하고 프레임의 중요도를 정량화한다. 그리디(greedy) 접근 기법이 패킷 선택 문제에 사용되었고, 패킷 Significance가 전송 스케줄링에 고려되었다. 널리 공개된 MPEG-4 비디오 클립이 실험에 사용되었으며, 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어에 디코딩 엔진이 삽입되었고, 성능 평가를 위해 PSNR을 측정하였다. 크기 기반 패킷 스케줄링 기법 및 비트 레이트 기반 최선(bit-rate based best-effort) 스케줄링 기법과 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 제안하는 기법이 더 중요한 패킷에 차별화 된 보호기능을 성공적으로 부여하며, QoS를 크게 향상시키는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 다중 홉으로 구성된 IEEE 802.11 기반의 메쉬 네트워크에서 노드 간에 패킷 전송 시 버퍼 오버플로우에 의한 패킷 손실을 줄이고 수신되는 패킷의 공평성을 높이기 위한 버퍼 관리 방식을 제안한다. 제안된 방식은 전송 패킷을 전달하는 중간 노드에서 인접 메쉬 라우터와 이동 노드로부터 전송된 패킷을 균등하게 수신하고, 각 메쉬 라우터에서 다중 홉을 거친 패킷 수신율을 향상시킴으로써 패킷 전송지연과 노드의 에너지 소모를 줄일 수 있다. 제안된 방식은 기존의 IEEE 802.11 MAC 프로토콜 하에서 수정된 RTS/CTS를 이용하여 전송될 패킷의 크기를 미리 인지함으로써 패킷 손실과 패킷 공평성을 향상시킨다. 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 기존의 방식과 제안된 방식의 패킷 손실률, 각 메쉬 라우터에서 수신되는 패킷 양을 측정함으로써 제안된 방식의 성능을 비교 평가하였다.

Optical packet switching is a promising technology, which can integrate both data and optical network. In this paper, we present a comparative study of various traffic arrival approaches in WDM packet switches. The comparison is made based on packet loss rate and average delay under uniform and self-similar Pareto traffic. Computer simulations are performed in order to obtain the switch performance metrics. Study shows that burstiness of data traffic has a strong negative impact in the performance of WDM packet switches.

This paper analyzes the performance of the several types of ACL(Asynchronous ConnectionLess) packets used in Bluetooth according to a BER(Bit Error Rate) and a packet length and proposes an optimal packet type and an optimal size of the packet being able to be used under the given BER. This paper proposes how to obtain the optimal packet type and the optimal size of the packet maximizing the performance measure under the given BER. In addition, this paper shows that the optimal type and size of the packet maximizing the throughput are different from those maximizing the mean transmission time. This occurs because the Bluetooth uses not only one type of packet but also various types of packets.
