WiMAX is a well-known broadband wireless access technology that supports multimedia transmission users. IEEE 802.16e has evolved into five quality of service (QoS) scheduling types for WiMAX uplink transmissions, but downlink transmission types have not yet been defined. To assist in this task, and to support efficient base station packet scheduling that takes QoS into account, I propose an ada...

Seokjoo Shin et al. 391 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 ...

Programmable network paradigm allows packet processing in the routers within the data path. One of the key problems in programmable networks is the inability to determine execution times of packets from information in headers for scheduling which is in contrast to using packet length in transport resources scheduling. This paper presents a scheduling algorithm called Prediction based Fair Queue...

Input-queued switch architectures play a major role in the design of high performance switches and routers for packet networks. These architectures must be controlled by a scheduling algorithm, which solves contentions in the transfer of data units from inputs to outputs. Several scheduling algorithms were proposed in the literature for input-queued cell switches, operating on fixed-size data u...

In active and programmable networks, packet processing could be accomplished in the router within the data path. For efficient resource allocation in such networks, the packet scheduling schemes should consider multiple resources such as CPU and memory in addition to the bandwidth to improve overall performance. The inherent unpredictability of processing times of active packets poses a signifi...
