On the Efficient Implementation of a High Performance Multi-Agent Simulation System for Modeling Cellular Communications Involving a Novel Event Scheduling Algorithm
نویسنده
چکیده
Simulation models are used in the design, development and evaluation of wireless communication systems. While basic network entities as Base Stations and users are always taken into account in such simulation modeling, a critical but currently underestimated factor that affects the simulated network behavior is the corresponding simulation model which represents the physical activities and the events of the network. A novel event scheduling mechanism for supporting concurrent network events and a novel network modeling methodology based on the multi-agent concept implemented through multi-threading technology is presented in this paper. The state of the art event scheduling mechanism supports only sequential events and on the other hand, the multi-agent technology has been used only for modeling network nodes. Additionally, the technical aspects of the multi-threading technology regarding the agent implementation and scheduling for simulating wireless communication systems has not been investigated so far in the literature. The proposed simulation framework in this paper gives improved solutions to the above issues. KeywordsEvent scheduling; multi-agents; network modeling; wireless network simulation

We relax some assumptions of the traditional scheduling problem and suggest an adapted meta-heuristic algorithm to optimize efficient utilization of resources and quick response to demands simultaneously. We intend to bridge the existing gap between theory and real industrial scheduling assumptions (e.g., hot metal rolling industry, chemical and pharmaceutical industries). We adapt and evalua...

متن کاملReal-time Scheduling of a Flexible Manufacturing System using a Two-phase Machine Learning Algorithm
The static and analytic scheduling approach is very difficult to follow and is not always applicable in real-time. Most of the scheduling algorithms are designed to be established in offline environment. However, we are challenged with three characteristics in real cases: First, problem data of jobs are not known in advance. Second, most of the shop’s parameters tend to be stochastic. Third, th...
