The alternative optimisation problem is solved by a distributed scheduling algorithm incorporating a duality-based rate control algorithm at its inner layer, where optimal link prices correlate with their average queueing delays. The proposed approach is then realised by a scheduling algorithm that runs jointly with an integral controller whereby each source regulates the queueing delay on its paths at the desired level, using its utility weight coefficient as the control variable. Since the proposed algorithms are based on solving the alternative concave optimisation problem, they are simple, distributed and lead to maximal link utilisation. Hence, they avoid the limitations of the previous approaches. The proposed algorithms are shown, using both theoretical analysis and simulation, to achieve asymptotic regulation of end-to-end delay given the step size of the proposed integral controller is within a specified range.
