We investigate the preservation of quality of service guarantees to a flow of packets in the presence of flow aggregation. For efficiency, multiple flows, known as the constituent...
—We present a scheduling protocol, called time-shift scheduling, to forward packets from multiple input flows to a single output channel. Each input flow is guaranteed a predet...

In current networks, packet losses can occur if routers do not provide sufficiently large buffers. This paper studies how many buffers should be provided in a router to eliminat...
—The design of efficient packet scheduling algorithms is crucial to the radio resource management (RRM) in the satellite digital multimedia broadcasting (SDMB) system, which has ...
Abstract— Packet delay and bandwidth are two important metrics for measuring quality of service (QoS) of Internet services. Traditionally, packet delay differentiation and fair b...
