A priority based packet scheduling scheme is proposed which aims at scheduling different types of data packets, such as real time and non-real-time data packets at sensor nodes with resource constraints in Wireless Sensor Networks. Most of the existing packet-scheduling mechanisms of Wireless Sensor Networks use First Come First Served (FCFS), non-preemptive priority and preemptive priority sch...

Network on chip is an emerging interconnection paradigm to address the scalability of traditional bus architecture. Time-critical systems need the capability to control packet delays in a network on-chip. The inflexibility and/or non-composability reduce the scalability of several proposed real-time service approaches for hard real-time networks onchip. In the era of “dark silicon” when large p...

Optical burst switching is a promising solution for terabit transmission of IP data bursts over WDM networks. One of the key components in the design of optical burst-switched nodes is the development of channel scheduling algorithms that can efficiently handle data burst contentions. Currently, traditional scheduling techniques use wavelength conversion and buffering to resolve burst contentio...

This paper presents the integrated queuing and scheduling for an N × N input-queued packet switch that efficiently supports both unicast and multicast traffic. Each input port maintains two sets of queues each for unicast and multicast traffic. For unicast traffic, we deploy the wellknown virtual output queuing scheme. For multicast traffic, we propose a novel queuing scheme in which a small nu...
