  20. Downlink/Uplink Scheduling • Radio resources have to be scheduled according to the QoS(Quality of Service) parameters • Downlink scheduling: • the flows are simply multiplexed • the standard scheduling algorithms can be used • WRR(Weighted Round Robin) • VT(Virtual Time) • WFQ(Weighted Fair Queueing) • WFFQ(Worst-case Fair weighted Fair Queueing) • DRR(Deficit Round Robin) • DDRR(Distributed Deficit Round Robin)

  21. WRR • It is an extention of round robin scheduling based on the static weight. Counter Reset Cycle VCC 1 (Source 1) 1 1 1 2 1 3 3 1 3 2 1 3 3 1 3 2 1 VCC 2 (Source 2) 2 2 3 WRR scheduler VCC 3 (Source 3) 3 3 3 3 3

  22. VT • VT : aims to emulate the TDM(Time Division Multiplexing) system [4] • connection 1 : reserves 50% of the link bandwidth • connection 2, 3 : reserves 20% of the link bandwidth Connection 1 Average inter-arrival : 2 units Connection 1 Average inter-arrival : 2 units Connection 2 Average inter-arrival : 5 units Connection 3 Average inter-arrival : 5 units First-Come-First-Served service order Virtual times Virtual Clock service order

  23. WFQ and WFFQ • FFQ(Fluid Fair Queue) : head-of-the line processor sharing service discipline • : guaranteed rate to connection i • C : the link speed • : the set of non-empty queue • The service rate for a non-empty queue i • WFQ : picks the first packet that would complete service in the corresponding FFQ system[4]

  24. WFFQ : picks the first packet that would complete service among the set of packets that have started service in the corresponding FFQ system[4] • Example • All packets have the same size 1 and link speed is 1 Guaranteed rate for connection 1 : 0.5 Guaranteed rate for connection 2-11 : 0.05 Connection 1 sends 11 back-to-back packets at time 0 Connection 2-11 sends 1 packet at time 0 • The completion time of connection 1 : 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22 • The completion time of connection 2 – 11 : 20

  26. VT and WFQ • All packets are fixed size and require exactly one second to service • Starting at time zero, 1000 packets from connection 1 arrive at a rate of 1 packet/second • Starting at time 900, 450 packets from connection 2 arrive at a rate of 1 packet/second • The completion times of the 901, 902, 903, … packets of connection 1 in FFQ system are 1802, 1904, 1806, … • The completion times of the 1, 2, 3, … packets of connection 2 in FFQ system are 901, 902, 903, …

  28. Deficit Round Robin[5] • Each connection is assigned a state variable called the DC(Deficit Counter). • At the start of each round, DCi of queue i is incremented by a specific service share(quantum) • If the length of the head of the line packet, Li, is less than or equal to DCi,, the scheduler allows the ith queue to send apacket. • Once the transmission is completed DCi is decremented by Li.

  30. Distrubuted Deficit Round Robin[6] • Each connection is assigned a state variable called the DC(Deficit Counter) • If the value of the DCiis positive then the scheduler allows the ith queue to send apacket. • Once the transmission is completed DCi is decremented by Li, the length of the transmitted packet . • At the start of the subsequent rounds, DCi is incremented by a specific service share(quantum)

  32. Downlink/Uplink Scheduling Uplink scheduling: • Responsible for the efficient and fair allocation of the resources(time slots) in the uplink direction • Uplink carrier : • Reserved slots • contention slots(random access slots) • The standard scheduling algorithms can be used

  33. Bandwidth allocation and request mechanisms • The method by which the SS(Subscriber Station) can get the bandwidth request message to the BS(Base Station) • Unicast • When an SS is polled individually, no explicit message is transmitted to poll the SS. • The SS is allocated, in the UP-MAP(Uplink Map), bandwidth sufficient for a bandwidth request. • Multicast • Certain CID(Connection Identifier) are reserved for multicast groups and for broadcast messages. • An SS belonging to the polled group may request bandwidth during any request interval allocated to that CID in the UP-MAP • Broadcast

  34. Bandwidth allocation and request mechanisms • UGS : • The BS provides fixed size bandwidth at periodic intervals to the UGS. • The SS is prohibited from using any contention request opportunities. • The BS shall not provide any unicast request opportunities. • rtPS • The BS provides periodic unicast request opportunities. • The SS is prohibited from using any contention request opportunities.

  35. Bandwidth allocation and request mechanisms • nrtPS • The BS provides timely unicast request opportunities. • The SS is allowed to use contention request opportunities. • BE • The SS is allowed to use contention request opportunities.

  36. Contention Resolution • Collisions may occur during Request intervals. • Contention resolution is based on a truncated binary exponential backoff, with the initial backoff window and the maximum backoff window controlled by the BS. • A truncated binary exponential backoff • The SS shall randomly select a number within its backoff window. • This value indicates the number of contention transmission opportunities that the SS shall defer before transmitting • If the contention transmission fails, the SS increases its backoff window by a factor of two.

  37. The 4Gmobile system • 4Gmobile system : Fourth-generation mobile wireless communications • The vision of the 4Gmobile system • Providing broadband wireless access • Providing Internet-based communications • Ensuring seamless services provisioning across a multitude of wireless systems and networks • Providing optimum delivery of the user’s wanted service via the most appropriate network available • IEEE 802.16e • Air interface for Fixed and Mobile Broadband Wireless Access Systems • Started at December 11, 2002

  38. Future Study • Study on the scheduling method • Downlink scheduling method • Uplink scheduling method • Study on the relevant Fragment Size • Study on the criteria whether packing or non-packing
