Item Open Access Uniform weighted round robin scheduling algorithms for input queued switches(IEEE, 2001-06) Rai, Idris A.; Alanyalı, MuratThis paper concentrates on obtaining uniform weighted round robin schedules for input queued packet switches. The desired schedules are uniform in the sense that each connection is serviced at regularly spaced time slots, where the spacing is proportional to the inverse of the guaranteed data rate. Suitable applications include ATM networks as well as satellite switched TDMA systems that provide per packet delay guarantees. Three heuristic algorithms are proposed to obtain such schedules under the constraints imposed by the unit speedup of input queued switches. Numerical experiments indicate that the algorithms have remarkable performance in finding uniform schedules.Item Open Access Weighted round robin scheduling in input-queued packet switches subject to deadline constraints(2000) Rai, Idris A.In this thesis work, the problem of scheduling deadline constrained traffic is studied. The problem is explored in terms of Weighted Round Robin (WRR) service discipline in input queued packet switches. Application of the problem may arise in packet switching networks and Satellite-Switched Time Division Multiple Access (SS/TDMA) systems. A new formulation of the problem is presented. The main contribution of the thesis is a ’’backward extraction” technique to schedule packet forwarding through the switch fabric. A number of heuristic algorithms, each based on backward extraction, are proposed, and their performances are studied via simulation. Numerical results show that the algorithms perform significantly better than earlier proposed algorithms. The experimental results strongly assert Philp and Liu conjecture.
