Resource Sharing in the Most Regular Scheduling: Deterministic Performance and Guarantee

Providing performance guarantee is one of the most important issues in a heterogeneous network for a large number of concurrent sessions. A common question in the network control and resource scheduling is how to provide end-to-end delay bounds and offer service guarantees in a relatively distributed manner. In this paper, we will narrow down the question and address specifically on the MRBS multiple access. It supports each user a flexible rate-matched time sharing with efficient resource scheduling. A generalized system modeling and analytical framework is developed based on the techniques of network calculus. The result extends from single-node scheduling to multiple layered scenarios with deterministic performance guarantees. Potential applications are discussed at last
