Abstract-The design of efficient packet scheduling algorithms, which play a key role in the radio resource management (RRM), is crucial for the multimedia delivery in the satellite digital multimedia broadcasting (SDMB) system. In this paper, a novel packet scheduling scheme, which uses the cross-layer approach in its design, is proposed. This scheme comprises a new service prioritization algorithm and a dynamic rate matching based resource allocation algorithm, aimed at utilizing both the applications' QoS attributes and the physical layer data rate information. The performance of the proposed scheme has been evaluated via simulation. In comparison with existing schemes, the proposed scheme achieves significant performance gain on delay, delay variation and physical channel utilization.Index Terms-Cross-layer design, DDQ, dynamic rate matching, packet scheduling, RRM, SDMB.

“…Based on the novel DRM technique, resource allocation is desired to be performed in conjunction with DRM for more efficient resource utilization. Therefore, a dynamic resource allocation (DRA) scheme was proposed in our previous work [11]. This new power allocation algorithm uses DRM to select the required transmission power for all physical channels according to their instantaneous data rate requirements.…”

“…In order to achieve better packet scheduling performance in terms of both efficiency and fairness, inherited from the proportional delay-differentiation scheme in the context of differentiated service networks, a delay-differentiation queuing (DDQ) was proposed in our early work [11], offering improved performance on delay, jitter and channel utilization. However, DDQ experiences unbalanced performance among multiple QoS attributes, namely the gain achieved in one attribute leads to the performance degradation in other attributes.…”

SUMMARYWith their inherent broadcast capabilities and reliable extensive geographical coverage, the broadband satellite networks are emerging as a promising approach for the delivery of multimedia services in 3G and beyond systems. Given the limited capacity of the satellite component, to meet the diverse quality of service (QoS) demands of multimedia applications, it is highly desired that the available resources can be adaptively utilized in an optimized way. In this paper, we draw our attention on the development and evaluation of an efficient packet scheduling scheme in a representative broadband satellite system, namely satellite digital multimedia broadcasting (SDMB), which is positioned as one of the most attractive solutions in the convergence of a closer integration with the terrestrial mobile networks for a cost-effective delivery of point-to-multipoint services. By taking into account essential aspects of a successful QoS provisioning while preserving the system power/resource constraints, the proposed adaptive multidimensional QoS-based (AMQ) packet scheduling scheme in this paper aims to effectively satisfy diverse QoS requirements and adaptively optimize the resource utilization for the satellite multimedia broadcasting. The proposed scheme is formulated via an adaptive service prioritization algorithm and an adaptive resource allocation algorithm. By taking into account essential performance criteria, the former is capable of prioritizing contending flows based on the QoS preferences and performance dynamics, while the latter allocates the resources, in an adaptive manner, according to the current QoS satisfaction degree of each session. Simulation results show that the AMQ scheme achieves significantly better performance than those of existing schemes on multiple performance metrics, e.g. delay, throughput, channel utilization and fairness.

Abstract-Future success towards 3G and beyond systems is in supporting a variety of multimedia services with diverse quality-of-service (QoS) demands. With their inherent broadcast capabilities, the broadband satellite networks are regarded as a promising platform for delivering multimedia services. For these systems, it is highly desired that the available resources can be utilized in an optimized way. Packet scheduling schemes play a key role in providing various QoS support for provisioning multimedia services. By taking into account essential aspects of QoS provisioning whilst preserving the system power/resource constraints, the proposed Adaptive Multi-dimensional QoS-based (AMQ) packet scheduling scheme aims to effectively satisfy diverse QoS requirements and adaptively optimize the resource utilization for satellite multimedia broadcasting. Simulation results show that the AMQ achieves much better performance than those of existing schemes by satisfying multiple QoS aspects, such as delay, throughput, channel utilization and fairness.Index Terms -Packet scheduling, radio resource management, S-DMB, MBMS, quality of service.
