Abstract
IEEE 802.16 standard defines the wireless broadband access network technology called WiMAX. WiMAX introduces several interesting advantages, and one of them is the support for QoS at the MAC level. For these purposes, the base station must allocate slots based on some algorithm. We propose a simple, yet efficient, solution for the WiMAX base station that is capable of allocating slots based on the QoS requirements, bandwidth request sizes, and the WiMAX network parameters. To test the proposed solution, we have implemented the WiMAX MAC layer in the NS-2 simulator. Several simulation scenarios are presented that demonstrate how the scheduling solution allocates resources in various cases. Simulation results reveal the proposed scheduling solution is ensures the QoS requirements of all the WiMAX service classes and shares fairly free resources achieving the work-conserving behaviour.

NVS: a substrate for virtualizing wireless resources in cellular networks

TL;DR: In virtualizing a base station's uplink and downlink resources into slices, NVS meets three key requirements-isolation, customization, and efficient resource utilization-using two novel features: a provably optimal slice scheduler and a generic framework for efficiently enabling customized flow scheduling within the base station on a per-slice basis.

A generalized processor sharing approach to flow control in integrated services networks: the multiple node case

TL;DR: Worst-case bounds on delay and backlog are derived for leaky bucket constrained sessions in arbitrary topology networks of generalized processor sharing (GPS) servers and the effectiveness of PGPS in guaranteeing worst-case session delay is demonstrated under certain assignments.

Analysis and simulation of a fair queueing algorithm

TL;DR: It is found that fair queueing provides several important advantages over the usual first-come-first-serve queueing algorithm: fair allocation of bandwidth, lower delay for sources using less than their full share of bandwidth and protection from ill-behaved sources.

A generalized processor sharing approach to flow control in integrated services networks-the multiple node case

TL;DR: The authors propose the use of a packet service discipline at the nodes of the network that is based on a multiplex scheme called generalized processor sharing (GPS) that is combined with leaky bucket rate admission control to provide flexible, efficient and fair use of the links.
