Wireless local area networks are a promising solution to support advanced data services in mobile environments. The IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standard is emerging as a mature technology to support delay sensitive network services. In order to support these services the standard has proposed the use of a polling scheme; however, existing polling schemes require high communication overheads or suf...

This study presents a new method [In–Out Combined Dynamic Weighted Round-Robin (CDWRR)] for balancing network loads in multiple link environments that provide both input and output interfaces. The purpose of this research is to balance loads for reducing Internet traffic jams. Using the novel line detection prediction approach, the main benefit of the presented algorithm is that it does not nee...

Energy consumption is becoming a crucial issue in the design of digital systems especially when considering portable and embedded systems due to their operational dependency on batteries. Since the processor is a major source of energy consumption, energy-aware scheduling strategies that decrease the CPU speed when possible enable to achieve significant energy savings. In this paper, we study t...

Scheduling has been an interesting problem since its inception. In the context of real-time networks, a scheduling algorithm is concerned with dispatching streams of packets sharing the same bandwidth such that certain guaranteed performance for each stream like rate and delay bound is provided. This function has a wide range of applications in network elements such as host adaptors, routers an...

We study the problem of scheduling asynchronous round-robin tournaments. We consider three measures of a schedule that concern the quality and fairness of a tournament. We show that the schedule generated by the well-known “circle design” performs well with respect to all three measures when the number of teams is even, but not when the number of teams is odd. We propose a different schedule th...

We propose a theoretical model of round-robin tournament with limited resources motivated by the fact that in real-world sport tournaments, participating teams are sometimes forced to distribute their effort over multiple matches. assume have amount must be distributed between all matches tournament. outcome each match as first-price all-pay auction. The prizes awarded according ranking at end ...
