This paper introduces a scheme for online dynamic bandwidth allocation for variable bit rate (VBR) traffic over ATM networks. The presented method determines the optimum bandwidth renegotiation time and bandwidth amount to allocate to VBR traffic source by minimizing predefined cost functions. Traffic rate predictor designed by wavelets is provided as feedback to the system. The results show th...

It is expected that the proportional fair (PF) scheduler will be used widely in cdma2000 1xEV-DO systems because it maximizes the sum of each user’s utility, which is given by the logarithm of its average throughput. In this paper, we address an influence of the PF scheduler on the packet transmission delay in base station (BS) and propose an analytic model.

We consider a queue fed by a mixture of light-tailed and heavytailed traffic. The two traffic classes are served in accordance with the Generalized Processor Sharing (GPS) discipline. GPS-based scheduling algorithms, such as Weighted Fair Queueing (WFQ), have emerged as an important mechanism for achieving service differentiation in integrated networks. We derive the asymptotic workload behavio...

Assured Service has been proposed within the Differentiated Services (DiffServ) model to provide relative service differentiation by attempting to allocate bandwidth to different users in a controlled way during periods of network congestion. In this paper, we analyze the Assured Service scheme by means of a priority queueing system with statedependent service scheduling based on thresholds. We...

Utilitarianism plays a central role in economics, but there is gap between theory, where utilitarianism dominant, and applications, monetary criteria are often used. For key difficulty to define how utilities should be measured compared. Drawing on Harsanyi’s (1955) approach, we introduce new normalization of ensuring that: (i) transfer from rich population poor welfare enhancing, (ii) populati...

Abstract— While exisiting weighted fair scheduling schemes guarantee minimum bandwidths/resources for the classes/processes of a shared channel, the maximum rate control, which is critical to service providers, carriers, and network managers for resource management and business strategies in many applications, is generally enforced by employing traffic policing mechanisms. These approaches use ...
