Bluetooth polling, also referred to as Bluetooth MAC scheduling or intra-piconet scheduling, is the mechanism that schedules the traffic between the participants in a Bluetooth network. Hence, this mechanism is highly determining with respect to the delay packets experience in a Bluetooth network. In this paper, we present a polling mechanism that provides delay guarantees in an efficient manne...

In wireless sensor networks data aggregation is a very important one and at the same time the aggregation should be energy efficient and a lesser amount of delay. To solve the problem we propose Delay Efficient Distributed Data Aggregation (DEDA) Scheduling Algorithm for Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) to handle the delay and energy tradeoff in the process of aggregation using the timeout concept...

This paper studies the effects of tuning delay of transmitters in packet-based optical broadcast networks. We consider scheduling of random traffic with tunable transmitters and fixed-tuned receivers and obtain the degradation imposed by tuning delay using several performance criteria, such as schedule completion time, average packet delay, and session blocking rates. We show that for off-line ...

The Cross layer based Two-way scheduling Algorithm (CTSA) is proposed for scheduling both Real Time (RT) and Non-Real Time (NRT) services. The advantage of the complimentary characteristics of both RT and NRT services is utilized in CTSA to achieve a significant cell user throughput, a low delay, normalized fairness and a low packet loss ratio. The CTSA is the adaptation of the two scheduling a...

IEEE 802.16 is standardization for a broadband wireless access in network metropolitan area network (MAN). IEEE 802.16 standard (Wi-Max) defines the concrete quality of service (QoS) requirement, a scheduling scheme and efficient packet scheduling scheme which is necessary to achieve the QoS requirement. In this paper, a novel waiting queue based on downlink bandwidth allocation architecture fr...

Multipath TCP (MPTCP) is one of the leading protocols that support multipath operation in a transport layer. However, depending on the network and the receiver buffer, the original MPTCP can experience throughput degradation, underutilizing the network capacity compared to the regular TCP. Furthermore, MPTCP can result in a large packet interval. In this paper, we propose a new scheduling schem...

This paper presents the Decoupled Class Based Scheduling, a CBQ-derived scheduling algorithm. Main advantages of D-CBQ are a new set of rules for distributing excess bandwidth and the ability to guarantee bandwidth and delay in a separate way, whence the name “decoupled”; moreover D-CBQ guarantees better delay bounds and more precise bandwidth assignment. This paper presents D-CBQ main points a...

A scheduling problem that includes different hardware delays experienced by the secondary users (SUs) while switching to different frequency bands in a centralized cognitive radio network (CRN) is formulated. A polynomial-time suboptimal algorithm is proposed to reduce the scheduling problem. The impact of varying switching delay, number offer quencies, and number of SUs is evaluated. The simul...

Queueing disciplines have been a subject of intensive discussion and research in the network field for scheduling packets from different traffic flows for processing at a network node (switch or router). Several queue scheduling disciplines have been designed to improve the quality of service for networked multimedia applications. In this paper, we evaluate the performance of four queueing disc...

End-to-end delay is an important QoS metric in multihop wireless networks such as sensor networks and mesh networks. Along with throughput, end-to-end delay determines the user-experienced data transmission time. End-to-end delay refers to the total time it takes for a single packet to reach the destination. It is a result of many factors including the length of the route and the interference l...
