A transmission scheduling algorithm for mixed traffic: high and low priority

The authors are concerned with the effective accommodation of mixed traffic (high and low priority) by the cellular ISDN system. They consider two mutually independent traffic streams sharing a single common channel for transmission. The two streams have different arrival and required transmission time characteristics, as well as different delay constraints. The authors present and analyze an algorithm for accommodating both traffics on the common transmission medium, so that the expected throughput of the system is high and the expected per message delays for both traffics are low. Numerical results are presented
