Local area network (LAN) will be a hybrid network that includes wired and wireless links together. Nonetheless, the wired hosts always take the most bandwidth and bring about the ...
— The IEEE 802.16 standard is providing support for Mesh networks of which two scheduling mechanisms (i.e., centralized scheduling and distributed scheduling) are proposed. Centr...
— Multi-server and multi-queue architectures are common mechanisms used in a large variety of applications (call centers, Web services, computer systems). One of the major motiva...
The Pfair algorithms are optimal for independent periodic real-time tasks executing on a multiple-resource system, however, they incur a high scheduling overhead by making schedul...
—Packet scheduling at the data link layer may impact significantly the overall performance of a wireless system using multiple antennas. In this paper, we propose a novel packet ...
