A Multi-radio Packet Scheduling Algorithm for Real-time Traffic in a Heterogeneous Wireless Network Environment

Yang Cui, Yubin Xu, Rongqing Xu and Xuejun Sha
The integration of heterogeneous wireless network has become an overwhelming tendency. So, it is a huge challenge for the network designers that how to manage resource in these access networks with different Radio Access Technologies (RATs) in a cooperative mode. As a feasible scheme, Generic Link Layer (GLL) is introduced. In this study, a novel multi-radio packet scheduling algorithm, is proposed for real-time traffic. There are four outstanding contributions in QU. First, in order to guarantee Quality of Service (QoS) of real-time traffic and avoid wasting resource, a scheduling utility function is developed to represent the degree of satisfaction of performing a packet scheduling in term of avoiding wasting resource provided that guaranteeing QoS. Second, using this utility function, a packet scheduling model, which in fact is a NP problem, is designed and analyzed based on joint consideration of fairness. Third, for improving execution rate, Hopfield Neural Network (HNN) is used to fast find an optimal solution for the scheduling model. Final, simulation is set up and is compared with M-LWDF and PLR algorithms to evaluate performance of QU algorithm. Simulation results show that under high load QU algorithm has lower packet loss ratio and higher spectrum efficiency while offers allowable average packet delay.
