A Study of Scheduling Algorithm for GPRS

GPRS is one of popular topics for mobile communication. To satisfy the Quality of Service (QoS) requirement for multimedia transmission, the QoS is divided into four classes, which are conversational, interactive, streaming and background class. When mobile communication network transmits the multimedia data, it needs a proper scheduling algorithm to assign the radio resource and make every data meet the requirement of the QoS in GPRS system.
In this thesis, we discuss the properties of every traffic class. For each traffic class, we propose a transmission method. The proposed methods are integrated with the link adaptation to develop a scheduling algorithm to suit the QoS requirement in the GPRS system. In addition, we introduce the FIFO scheduling algorithm and the scheduling algorithm that has priority. Our methods are then compared with those existing algorithms.
We use OPNET simulation system to study the FIFO scheduling algorithm, the priority-scheduling algorithm and our new scheduling algorithms. The effects on the delay time, packet loss ratio and throughput for every scheduling algorithm are analyzed and compared. The simulations show that the new scheduling algorithm can satisfy all QoS requirements, and the performance of the new scheduling algorithm is better than that of the other scheduling algorithms in the interactive class.
