IEEE802.16中一种改进的跨层QoS调度架构设计

IEEE802委员会制定了一个解决“最后一公里”宽带无线城域网（WMAN）接入问题的全球统一标准,即IEEE802．16标准。它定义了支持多种业务类型的独立于具体物理层的MAC层和多个物理层。对于802．16系统的QoS保障,标准中详细规定了服务类别的划分以及系统的Qos框架和具体的信令交互机制,但没有规定具体的QoS调度算法,而是留给厂家设计。因此本文在IEEE802．16已有QoS调度架构的基础上,设计出一种改进的跨层QoS调度架构,并详细介绍了该构架下各功能模块的功能和具体实现方法。

Delay constrained uplink scheduling policy for rtPS/ertPS service in IEEE 802.16e BWA systems

WiMAX is a promising broadband wireless networking technology and is expected to take the place of broadband access solutions such as DSL and cable. Owing to its superior support in mobility, it is expected to provide integrated voice and data service to realize broadband mobile computing. In order to reach better quality‐of‐service (QoS) requirements for real‐time applications, the IEEE 802.16e standard defines five different services among traffic categories with different multimedia requirements. However, the problem of choosing the right set of medium access control parameters and packet scheduling policy to provide strict QoS guaranteed in IEEE 802.16e Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) systems remains unsolved and left as an open issue. In this paper, we propose a novel polling‐based uplink packet scheduling policy for real‐time Polling Service and extended real‐time Polling Service (rtPS/ertPS) traffic to support real‐time applications, with strict delay requirements, such as variable bit rate (VBR) traffic in IEEE 802.16e BWA systems. The proposed transmit‐permission policy can derive sufficient conditions such that all the rtPS/ertPS sources satisfy their time constraints to provide deterministic QoS guarantees. In addition to theoretical analysis, simulations are conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. As it turns out, our design provides a good quality performance in the IEEE 802.16e BWA systems. Copyright © 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Media Synchronization and QoS Packet Scheduling Algorithms for Wireless Systems

Wireless multimedia synchronization is concerned with distributed multimedia packets such as video, audio, text and graphics being played-out onto the mobile clients via a base station (BS) that services the mobile client with the multimedia packets. Our focus is on improving the Quality of Service (QoS) of the mobile client's on-time-arrival of distributed multimedia packets through network multimedia synchronization. We describe a media synchronization scheme for wireless networks, and we investigate the multimedia packet scheduling algorithms at the base station to accomplish our goal. In this paper, we extend the media synchronization algorithm by investigating four packet scheduling algorithms: First-In-First-Out (FIFO), Highest-Priority-First (PQ), Weighted Fair-Queuing (WFQ) and Round-Robin (RR). We analyze the effect of the four packet scheduling algorithms in terms of multimedia packet delivery time and the delay between concurrent multimedia data streams. We show that the play-out of multimedia units on the mobile clients by the base station plays an important role in enhancing the mobile client's quality of service in terms of intra-stream synchronization and inter-stream synchronization. Our results show that the Round-Robin (RR) packet scheduling algorithm is, by far, the best of the four packet scheduling algorithms in terms of mobile client buffer usage. We analyze the four packet scheduling algorithms and make a correlation between play-out of multimedia packets, by the base station, onto the mobile clients and wireless network multimedia synchronization. We clarify the meaning of buffer usage, buffer overflow, buffer underflow, message complexity and multimedia packet delay in terms of synchronization between distributed multimedia servers, base stations and mobile clients.     

Channel-Aware Scheduling for QoS and Fairness Provisioning in IEEE 802.16/WiMAX Broadband Wireless Access Systems

In the last few years, standardization activities within the IEEE 802.16 Working Group have resulted in the publication of specifications for an air interface of Fixed broadband wireless access systems. WiMAX is the commercial name of products compliant with the approved IEEE 802.16 standard. Although the standard suggests the main principles in designing a QoS architecture to support multimedia broadband services, implementation details are left to manufacturers. This article addresses a channel-aware scheduling algorithm conceived for a point-to-multipoint WiMAX architecture. It aims at enabling downlink traffic delivery with differentiated service treatment, even in nonideal channel conditions. A technique to compensate for channel errors is proposed to preserve QoS and fairness of a WF2Q+ based scheduling algorithm. The performance behavior of the proposed algorithm is confirmed by the outputs of a comprehensive simulation campaign.     

Adaptive scheduling mechanism for IPTV over WiMAX IEEE 802.16j networks

A WiMAX technology is a very promising Broadband Wireless Access technology that is able to transmit different service types. This latter can have different constraints such as traffic rate, maximum latency, and tolerated jitter. The IEEE 802.16 Medium Access Control specifies five types of QoS classes: UGS, rtPS, ertPS, nrtPS, and BE. However, the IEEE 802.16 standard does not specify the scheduling algorithm to be used. Operators have the choice among many existing scheduling techniques. Also, they can propose their own scheduling algorithms. In this paper, we propose a scheduling strategy (Adaptive Weighted Round Robin, AWRR) for various Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) services traffic over 802.16j networks. Our scheme adapts dynamically the scheduler operation to according queue load and quality of service constraints. In particular, the proposed mechanism gives more priority to high definition television and standard definition television traffic by using two schedulers. The proposed scheduling algorithm has been simulated using the QualNet network simulator. The experimental results show that our scheduler schemes AWRR have a better performance than the traditional scheduling techniques for rtPS traffic, which allows ensuring QoS requirements for IPTV application.

IEEE 802.16e/m energy‐efficient sleep‐mode operation with delay limitation in multibroadcast services

Mobile Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access networks usually provide flexible sleep‐mode operations that allow mobile stations to conserve energy during sleep or active mode. For example, the IEEE 802.16e/m standard presents three power‐saving classes that can be associated with different types of network connections to decrease the power consumption of mobile stations. However, previous studies failed to fully use the sleep‐mode features to save energy of a mobile station while simultaneously maintaining unicast and multicast/broadcast connections. This study proposes an energy‐efficient packet scheduling algorithm for both multicast and broadcast services that does not violate the QoS requirements of real‐time connections. The proposed activity aggregation selection mechanism approach can minimize total power consumption of mobile stations in one cell and simultaneously satisfy the QoS of real‐time connections. This method improves energy efficiency for IEEE 802.16e/m and the activity aggregation selection mechanism approach can optimize sleeping mode features to save the energy of mobile stations with overlapping connection packets The simulations in this study verified the proposed approach.Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
