Table 1 Comparison of scheduling mechanisms

From: Channel condition self-clocked packet scheduling scheme for wireless networks

Scheduling algorithms

Pros

Cons

IWFQ

With proper and dynamic weight, guarantees throughput and delay, fairness

In IWFQ, the main difficulty is in adjusting the values of the bounds since it exhibits a trade-off between fairness and delay/throughput guarantees

CIF-Q

Guarantees throughput and delay, fairness

CIF-Q is a high algorithmic complexity since it needs to keep a record of leading and lagging counters

SBFA

Achieve long-term fairness

A flow with a good channel state may receive much more service than its promised share

PFS

Achieve long-term fairness

Cannot guarantee the delay constraint, lower system performance, and resource utilization

M-LWDF

Meets throughput and delay guarantee with threshold probability

The difficulty is how to find the optimal value of ρ j

CSCPS

Steady jitter, guarantees throughput and delay, fairness

CSCPS is a high algorithmic complexity since it needs to keep a record of leading and lagging counters
