Airports are limited in terms of capacity. Particularly, runways can only accommodate a certain number movements (arrivals and departures) while ensuring safety determined operational requirements. In such constrained operating environment, any reduction system capacity results major delays with significant costs for airlines passengers. Therefore, the efficient operation airports is critical c...

In this paper we examine the packets’ delay performance under the temporal fairness opportunistic scheduling (TFOS) algorithm which is first introduced in [1]. We also simulate the earliest deadline-first (EDF) scheduling algorithm in the wireless environment. We find that the opportunistic scheduling algorithm biases the users who always experience the good channel condition in packets’ delay ...

In this paper, we consider a joint packet scheduling algorithm for wireless networks and investigate its characteristics. The joint scheduling algorithm is a combination of the Knopp and Humblet (KH) scheduling, which fully exploits multiuser diversity, and the probabilistic weighted round-robin (WRR) scheduling, which does not use multiuser diversity at all. Under the assumption that the wirel...

In this study, the authors consider a delay control problem with proportional fair scheduling in time-varying wireless channels. For proportional fairness of transmission rates among users, a congestion control scheme is proposed for guaranteeing both throughput and delay of the wireless network. Specifically, a scheduling weight is introduced to control queue lengths without degrading the thro...
