This paper proposes a station coding based genetic algorithm to solve this problem, which adopts a new chromosome encoding method that arranges tasks according to the ground station ID. The new encoding method contributes to reducing the complex ity in conflict checking and resolving, and helps to improve the ability to find optimal resolutions. Three different selection operators are designed to match the new encoding strategy, namely ran dom selection, greedy selection, and roulette selection. To demonstrate the benefits of the improved genetic algorithm, a basic genetic algorithm is designed in which two cross operators are presented, a singlepoint crossover and a multipoint crossover. For the purpose of algorithm test and analysis, a problemgenerating program is designed, which can simulate problems by modeling features encountered in realworld problems. Based on the problem generator, computational results and analysis are made and illustrated for the scheduling of multiple ground stations.展开更多

With the increasing number of application, there exist a large number of processes in the computer system at the same time. Many processes in system simultaneously raise a challenging circumstance of managing the CPU in such a manner that the CPU utilization and processes execution gets optimal performance. The world is still waiting for most efficient algorithm which remains a challenging issue. In this manuscript, we have proposed a new algorithm Progressively Varying Response Ratio Priority a preemptive CPU scheduling algorithm based on the Priority Algorithm and Shortest Remaining Time First. In this scheduling algorithm, the priority is been calculated and the processes with high priority get CPU first or next. For new process, the priority of it becomes equal to inverse of burst time and for the old processes the priority calculation takes place as a ratio of waiting time and remaining burst time. The objective is to get all the processes executed with minimum average waiting time and no starvation. Experiment and comparison show that the VRRP outperforms other CPU scheduling algorithms. It gives better evaluation results in the form of scheduling criteria. We have used the deterministic model to compare the different algorithms.展开更多

In the proposed algorithm, we have taken care of all such problems. As the novel algorithm is capable of achieving as good results as shortest remaining time first algorithm and also it will never lead to starvation.展开更多

On broadcast channel, scalability and efficiency of data transmission are satisfied. In a mobile environment, there exists a kind of real-time database application in which both the transactions and data can have their timing constraints and priorities of different levels. In order to meet the requirement of real-time data disseminating and retrieving, a broadcast scheduling strategy HPF-ED F (Highest Priority First with Earlier Deadline and Frequency) is proposed under the BoD (Broadcast on Demand) model. Using the strategy, data items are scheduled according to their priority the transaction imposed on them or system set for them. The strategy also considers other characteristics of data items such as deadline and popularity of data. The extensive simulation experiments have been conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed algorithm. Results show that it can achieve excellent performance compared with existing strategies.展开更多

The inaccurate characteristics of the system were modeled through probability analysis. By taking into account the multiple important system parameters, including task deadline, priority, session integrity and memory access locality, the algorithm is expected to achieve high quality of service. Lots of simulation results collected under different load conditions demonstrate that the algorithm can not only effectively overcome the inaccuracy of the system state, but also optimize the task rejected ratio, value realized ratio, differentiated service guaranteed ratio, and session integrity ensured ratio with the average improvement of 3.5%, 5.8%, 7.6% and 5. 5%, respectively. Compared with many existing schemes that cannen deal with the inaccurate parameters of the system, the proposed scheme can achieve the best system performance by carefully adjusting scheduling probability. The algorithm is expected to be promising in systems with soft real-time scheduling requirement such as E-commerce applications.展开更多

Operations are divided into dependent operations and independent operations with the idea of subsection, and corresponding scheduling strategy is put forward according to operation characteristic in the segment and the complementarities of identical function machines. Forward greedy rule is adopted mainly for dependent operations to make operations arranged in the right position of machine selected, then each operation can be processed as early as possible, and the total processing time of job can be shortened as much as possible. For independent operations optimum scheduling rule is adopted mainly, the inserting position of operations will be determined according to the gap that the processing time of operations is subtracted from idle time of machine, and the operation will be inserted in the position with minimal gap. Experiments show, under the same conditions, the result that operations are scheduled according to the object function constructed, and the scheduling strategy adopted is better than the result that operations are scheduled according to efficiency scheduling algorithm.展开更多

This has led to the multi-class switch architecture to cater for the needs for different QoS requirements. The introduction of threshold in multi-class switch to solve the starvation problems in loss sensitive class has increased the mean delay for delay sensitive class. In this research, a new scheduling architecture is introduced to improve mean delay in delay sensitive class when the threshold is active. The proposed architecture has been simulated under uniform and non-uniform traffic to show performance of the switch in terms of mean delay. The results show that the proposed architecture has achieved better performance as compared to Weighted Fair Queueing (WFQ) and Priority Queue (PQ).展开更多

It is based on the classic Queue-Length-Based (QLB)-rate maximum scheduling algorithm and integrated with the delay constraint and the packet priority drop. We use the large deviation principle and the effective capacity theory to construct a new analysis model to find each user's queue length threshold (delay constraint) violation probability. This probability corresponds to the upper bound of the packet drop probability, which indicates a certain level of statistical QoS guarantees. Then, we utilize the priority information of video packets and introduce the packet priority drop to further improve the quality perceived by each user. The simulation results show that the average Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) value of the priority drop is 0.8 higher than that of the non-priority drop and the PSNR value of the most badly damaged video frame in the priority drop is on an average 4 higher than that of the non-priority drop.展开更多

文摘To provide a certain level of Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees for multiuser wireless downlink video streaming transmissions, we propose a multiuser scheduling scheme for QoS guarantees. It is based on the classic Queue-Length-Based (QLB)-rate maximum scheduling algorithm and integrated with the delay constraint and the packet priority drop. We use the large deviation principle and the effective capacity theory to construct a new analysis model to find each user's queue length threshold (delay constraint) violation probability. This probability corresponds to the upper bound of the packet drop probability, which indicates a certain level of statistical QoS guarantees. Then, we utilize the priority information of video packets and introduce the packet priority drop to further improve the quality perceived by each user. The simulation results show that the average Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR) value of the priority drop is 0.8 higher than that of the non-priority drop and the PSNR value of the most badly damaged video frame in the priority drop is on an average 4 higher than that of the non-priority drop.
