Abstract

In this paper, we propose a simple yet efficient delay-constrained scheduling scheme for IEEE 802.16 networks. The proposed scheduling scheme not only can satisfy delay constraints of different service types by manipulating a simple operation parameter but also can achieve a good fairness performance. An analytical model is developed to evaluate the performance in terms of inter-service time, average queue length, and mean waiting time, and is verified through extensive simulations. Furthermore, an implementation procedure of the proposed scheme is given, which reflects the scheme's good features of the fast re-configurability and adaptability.
