Abstract

In this paper we propose a packet scheduling scheme for ensuring delay as a Quality of Service (QoS) requirement. For customers, fair service is given while optimizing revenue of the network service provider. Gradient type algorithm for updating the weights of a packet scheduler is derived from a revenue-based optimization problem in the logarithmic pricing scenario. Algorithm is simple to implement. We compared algorithm with optimal brute-force method. The weight updating procedure is independent on the assumption of the connection's statistical behavior, and therefore it is robust against erroneous estimates of statistics.
