Plenary Lecture / Robotics and Cyber Physical System의 21일 22일 강연


 David Harel 교수님과 Kyung-Suk Kim 교수님의 Plenary Lecture 는 정말 최고였습니다.

프레젠테이션속에 녹아있는 전달하고자 하는 명확한 내용과 전체 강의의 튼튼한 뼈대를 하나도 놓치지 않고서

두루 설명하시면서 중간중간 집중이 떨어질만한 타이밍에 동영상을 보여주시면서 간간히 웃겨주시는 스킬이 보통의 강연자와 달랐습니다. 

 Harel 교수님은 CS와 소프트웨어 엔지니어들이 어떻게 과학적인 테크닉을 적용하여 문제를 이해하고 풀어나가야 할지를 재미있는 영상과 함께 자신의 생각을 풀어주셨습니다. 특히 biological systems의 실제적인 modeling 에 대한 이해법과 전체의 시스템을 볼때 세세한 부분들까지 어떻게 분석하며 이해해야 할지를 쉽게 가르쳐주셨습니다.

 Kyung-Suk Kim 교수님은 "Science and Technology in New Bridging Era: Engineering of Self-organized Emergence"의 주제로 이제는 beyond frontiers 를 향하는 우리의 세대들이 가져야 공학도의 마인드와 현 DGIST의 교육이념을 잘 적목시키셔서 미래의 우리 공학도가 가져야 할 마인드에 대해서 자신의 업적(ruga)과 함께 적절한 예로 풀어서 명쾌하게 설명해주셨습니다. As this is a talk for a science and technology institution, special emphasis will be focused on science and engineering education for next generation scientists and engineers with strong three C’s – “Commitment”, “Credibility” and “Creativity”.

Channel Models A tutorial



1. The Basic Concepts



Wireless signal의 특성은 그것이 전파하는 (송수신간의) 매체를 통과하면서 변하게 된다.
이러한 특성은 송,수신 안테나 사이의 거리에 의하여 의존하게 되며, 그 거리에는 신호가 지나가는 경로와 환경(방해가능한 빌딩과 어떠한 물체 -> 이는 신호의 반사 및 흡수가 가능하다.) 적인 요소가 존재하여 채널의 특성을 변화시킨다.


만약 우리가 송수신 안테나사이의 매체 i.e 채널을 알수있다면, 입력신호를 앎으로써, 출력신호를 알수있게 된다.

Therefore, this model of the medium is called channel model.


In general, the power profile of the received signal can be obtained by convolving the power profile of

the transmitted signal with the impulse response of the channel. Convolution in time domain is

equivalent to multiplication in the frequency domain. Therefore, the transmitted signal x, after

propagation through the channel H becomes y


y(f)=H(f)x(f)+n(f)


일단, 송신신호와 수신신호와의 상관관계를 통하여 채널 추정이 가능하다.
위의 식에서 H(f)는 우리는 Chaneel responce라고 부를것이며, n(f)는 노이즈성분이다.

Note that x, y, H, and n are all functions of the signal frequency f.

The three key components of the channel response are path loss, shadowing, and multipath as explained below.


따라서, 우리는 채널에 영향을 주는 대략적인 3가지의 성분 path loss, shadowing, and multipath 를 통하여서, 채널을 추정할수가 있게 된다.


2.1 Path Loss


The simplest channel is the free space line of sight channel with no objects between the receiver and the transmitter or around the path between them. In this simple case, the transmitted signal attenuates since the energy is spread spherically around the transmitting antenna. For this line of sight (LOS) channel, the received power is given by:


먼저, 가장 간단한 형태의 채널을 정의해보자. 이는 자유공간 즉, 벽면도 없고 반사도 없는 그래서 손실도 없는 LOS (direct path propagation) 타입이다. 

감쇠의 원인은 안테나의 전파(신호) 방사형태가 구면의 형태로 에너지를 확산시키기 때문에 P는 D^-2에 비례한다.

Here, Pt is the transmitted power, Gl is the product of the transmit and receive antenna field radiation patterns, λ is the wavelength, and d is the distance. Theoretically, the power falls off in proportion to the square of the distance. In practice, the power falls off more quickly, typically 3rd or 4th power of distance.

G1은 안테나의 방사패턴에 해당하는 Loss를 의미한다.

이론적으로 파워는 거리의 제곱에 비례하여 감소하지만, 사실 실제환경에서는 이보다 빠른 세제곱, 네제곱배로 감소한다.




The presence of ground causes some of the waves to reflect and reach the transmitter. These reflected

waves may sometime have a phase shift of 180 ° and so may reduce the net received power. A simple two-ray approximation for path loss can be shown to be:

자 이제 Free space 시나리오를 좀더 꼬아서 Ground 가 존재한다고 가정한다면, 이는 반사를 야기시킨다. -> 위상을 180도로 변화시키며, Power를 감소시킨다.


Here, ht and hr are the antenna heights of the transmitter and receiver, respectively. 

Note that there are three major differences from the previous formula. First, the antenna heights have effect. Second, the wavelength is absent and third the exponent on the distance is 4. 

이 공식의 앞전의 위의 공식과 3가지의 주요한 다른점이 존재한다.

안테나높이 고려, 파장고려X, 지수부4승.


In general, a common empirical formula for path loss is:

그리고 이를 더욱 일반화한 형태로, 경험에 의한(실험에 의한) 공식은 아래와 같다.

위의 공식은 실제적인 path loss를 고려한 형태의 수신되는 신호의 Power를 의미한다.

Where P0 is the power at a distance 0 d and α is the path loss exponent.

The path loss is given by:

Path Loss 공식은 아래와 같이 dB표현식으로 주어진다



Here PL(d0 ) is the mean path loss in dB at distance 0 d . The thick dotted line in Figure A.1.2 shows the received power as a function of the distance from the transmitter.


If you want to know the more detail information about this section, please refer to Fundamentals Wireless Communication text book's chapter 2. It's free on website.

2.2 Shadowing


If there are any objects (such buildings or trees) along the path of the signal, some part of the transmitted signal is lost through absorption, reflection, scattering, and diffraction. This effect is called shadowing. As shown in Figure A.1.3, if the base antenna were a light source, the middlebuilding would cast a shadow on the subscriber antenna. Hence, the name shadowing.


쉐도잉은 송신 신호가 수신단으로 가기까지 어떠한 장애물이 존재하여, 송신신호가 흡수,반사,회절,흩어짐을 겪게 됨으로 소실되거나 딜레이되어 수신단에 도착하게 되는데 이로 인해 다른 크기와 위상의 신호가 중첩되어서, 이를 평균전력그래프로 그려보았을 때, "로그노말분포"로 나타나기에 흔히 우리는 로그노말쉐도잉이라고 부른다.


[보충]

Shadowing은 문자적 뜻은 음영 손실 (Shadowing Loss)을 의미하며, 현상은 전파 장애물 바로 뒤에 전파적인 그림자(음영)가 드리워져 나타나는 전파 손실을 말한다. 예를들면, 송신 전파가 산,빌딩 등 장애물의 불규칙적인 전파 반사면,산란체 등 때문에 수신 전파 전력이 평균을 중심으로 요동치는 현상 이라고 볼 수있다. 






The net path loss becomes:

Here χ is a normally (Gaussian) distributed random variable (in dB) with standard deviation σ . χ represents the effect of shadowing. As a result of shadowing, power received at the points that are at the same distance d from the transmitter may be different and have a log-normal distribution. This phenomenon is referred to as log-normal shadowing.




2.3 Multi-path


The objects located around the path of the wireless signal reflect the signal. Some of these reflected waves are also received at the receiver. Since each of these reflected signals takes a different path, it has a different amplitude and phase. 

반사되는 신호들이 서로 다른 경로를 가지므로, 다른 위상,크기를 가진 신호가 되기에 이를 다중경로 페이딩이라고 부른다.


[보충] : Multi-path Fading

서로 다른 경로를 따라 수신된 전파들이 여러 물체에 의한 다중 반사로 인해 서로다른 진폭,위상,입사각,편파 등이 간섭

(보강간섭,소멸간섭)을 일으켜 불규칙 요동치는 현상

Depending upon the phase, these multiple signals may result in increased or decreased received power at the receiver. Even a slight change in position may result in a significant difference in phases of the signals and so in the total received power. The three components of the channel response are shown clearly in Figure A.1.4. The thick dashed line represents the path loss. The log-normal shadowing changes the total loss to that shown by the thin dashed line. The multipath finally results in variations shown by the solid thick line. Note that signal strength variations due to multipath change at distances in the range of the signal wavelength.

그래서 아래 그림과 같은 형태의 수신 파워를 보인다. 아래의 그래프는 x축 거리가 멀어짐에 따른 y축 수신파워/송신파워의 db비를 나타낸 그래프이다. 이를 통하여 각 채널에 영향을 주는 3가지 성분들로 인하여 입력신호가 어떻게 수신되는지를 대략적으로 알수가 있다. 





Since different paths are of different lengths, a single impulse sent from the transmitter will result in multiple copies being received at different times as shown in Figure A.1.5

아래의 그림은 송신 신호가 수신측에서 Multipath를 겪고서 어떻게 페이딩현상으로 나타나는지를 보여준다.

(즉,LTI System으로 수신신호를 입력신호대 채널간의 컨벌루션으로 모델링한 형태를 떠올리면 이해가 쉽다)




The maximum delay after which the received signal becomes negligible is called maximum delay spread τmax. A large τmax indicates a highly dispersive channel. Often root-mean-square (rms) value of the delay-spread τrms is used instead of the maximum.

송순 후에 multipath fading으로 너무 많은 딜레이와 감쇄효과가 있어서 무시해도 되는 수신신호파워를 우리는 τmax 라고 부른다.



3. Tapped Delay Line Model


One way to represent the impulse response of a multipath channel is by a discrete number of impulses as follows:


Note that the impulse response h varies with time t. The coefficients ci(t) vary with time. There are N coefficients in the above model. The selection of the N and delay values τi depends upon what is considered a significant level. This model represents the channel by a delay line with N taps. For example, the channel shown in Figure A.1.5 can be represented by a 4-tap model as shown in Figure A.1.6.


멀티 패스 채널의 임펄스 응답의 표현은 위의 식처럼, 임펄스들의 이산적인 합으로 표현될수가 있다.


[보충] : 왜 임펄스 함수인가?

흔히 채널은 시스템으로 표현할수가 있다고 한다. 왜냐하면, 입력신호를 어떤 시스템에 넣고 (채널) 출력신호를 보는 과정이 통신의 송/수신과 매우 흡사하며, 이를 수학적으로 모델링하여 나타내면 간단 명료하게 채널의 특성을 보여줄수 있기 때문이다. 임펄스 응답이란? 시스템에 단위 임펄스함수를 인가하였을 때의 출력을 의미하며, 임펄스 응답에 대한 '푸리에변환'은 통신의 주파수 특성 (전달함수 H)와 같다. 그래서 임펄스 응답을 알면 우리는 주어진 입력에 대한 출력을 쉽게 구할수 있기 때문에 우리는 임펄스 함수를 사용하게 되었다.



If the transmitter, receiver, or even the other objects in the channel move, the channel characteristics change. The time for which the channel characteristics can be assumed to be constant is called coherence time. This is a simplistic definition in the sense that exact measurement of coherence time requires using the auto-correlation function.

만약 송/수신기(ex.안테나)가 움직이면 채널의 특성도 변하게 된다. 그래서 우리는 채널이 제한된 특성을 가지고 있는 시간을 하나의 척도로 명명하였는데 이것이 coherence time 이다.

coherence bandwidth 도 이와 매우 유사하다.


For every phenomenon in the time domain, there is a corresponding phenomenon in the frequency domain. If we look at the Fourier transform of the power delay profile, we can obtain the frequency dependence of the channel characteristics. The frequency bandwidth for which the channel characteristics remain similar is called coherence bandwidth. Again, a more strict definition requires determining the auto-correlation of the channel characteristics. The coherence bandwidth is inversely related to the delay spread. The larger the delay spread, less is the coherence bandwidth and the channel is said to become more frequency selective.


delay spread는 LOS와 비교하였을 때, 위의 Figure A.1.6과 같이 지연되어 수신되는 현상을 말한다. 

delay spread가 크다면 coherence bandwidth 은 작으며, 이때 채널을 우리는 frequency selective하다고 말한다.



4. Doppler Spread


The power delay profile gives the statistical power distribution of the channel over time for a signal transmitted for just an instant. Similarly, Doppler power spectrum gives the statistical power distribution of the channel for a signal transmitted at just one frequency f. While the power delay profile is caused by multipath, the Doppler spectrum is caused by motion of the intermediate objects in the channel. The Doppler power spectrum is nonzero for (f-fD, f+fD), where fD is the maximum Doppler spread or Doppler spread.


The coherence time and Doppler spread are inversely related:



coherence time과 Doppler Spread는 서로 역수관계를 가진다.


Thus, if the transmitter, receiver, or the intermediate objects move very fast, the Doppler spread is large and the coherence time is small, i.e., the channel changes fast.

Table A.1.1 lists typical values for the Doppler spread and associated channel coherence time for two WiMAX frequency bands. Note that at high mobility, the channel changes 500 times per second, requiring good channel estimation algorithms


높은 대역으로 Carrier Frequency가 갈수록 Coherence Time은 작으며, Max Doppler Spread가 높을수록 채널의 안정적인 시간 = 주파수가 Flat한 시간이 적다.


여기에선 Coherence Time과 Doppler Spread만을 비교하였으며, Doppler Spread에 대한 자세한 정보가 필요하다면 위에서 소개한 책의 Chapter 2.1.4를 참고하기 바란다.


in this Tutorial, we just handled the comparison with Coherence Time and Doppler Spread. If you want to learn the Doppler Spread, you can easier understand though the textbook which we already introduced.

분산 알고리즘이란? ‘Distributed Algorithm’

 

A distributed algorithm is an algorithm designed to run on computer hardware constructed from interconnected processors. Distributed algorithms are used in many varied application areas of distributed computing, such as telecommunications, scientific computing, distributed information processing, and real-time process control. Standard problems solved by distributed algorithms include leader election, consensus, distributed search, spanning tree generation, mutual exclusion, and resource allocation.[1]


 

I. INTRODUCTION

 

Optimization-based  접근법은 지금까지 통신 네트워크 영역에서 “Resource allocation problem” 해결을 위해서 광범위하게 연구 되어왔다예를 들면, Internet congestion control 시스템의 성능을 최대한으로 끌어내는 convex optimization problem 으로 distributed primal or dual solutions 자원배분문제를 어떻게 해결하는가  대한 모범적인 예로써 생각할 수가 있다이런 류의 접근법(실험법 TCP(transmission control protocol) 대한 깊은 이해와 향상된 혼잡제어(congestion control) 라는 솔루션을 보여준다.[1-6]

어쨌든 질문의 핵심은 앞서 말한 접근법이 통합된 multi-hop wireless networks에서 *a clean-slate design of the protocol stack으로 적용   있다는 점이다사실Internet setting 에서의 그러한 기술의 직접적인 어플리케이션을 허용하지 않는 무선통신의 맥락에서 있어서  특별한 도전들이 있다특히무선매체는 본질적으로 유저들의 데이터송신에 의한 간섭이 많이 일어나는 다중접속매체로써채널의 capacity time-varying  성격을 보인다이러한 이유로무선매체는 사용자와 네트워크 Layer간의 상호의존성을 띄기 때문에 기존의 유선과는 반대의 성격을 가진다하지만이런 어려움에도 불구하고최근에 통합  최적화된 형태로써의 Multiple layer들의 무선자원을 자유로이 공유하거나 넘나드는(Cross Layer개념진보된 결과들을 보여준다이와 관련된 흥미로운 내용은 섹션3에서 설명한다.

(The solution of such an optimization framework will itself exhibit a layered structure with only a limited degree of cross-layer coupling.)

 

 

*The notion of a clean-slate design becomes especially attractive for multi-hop wireless networks, where the burdens of legacy systems are far less than for the Internet.

*Protocol Stack : 서로 다른 기기들이 데이터 통신을 하는  필요한 통신 규약을 구현해 주는 소프트웨어 모듈들의 모임 기기 간에 통신을   해당 통신 규약을 구현해 주는 핵심 소프트웨어이며프로파일은 상호 접속성을 확보하기 위해 애플리케이션에서 사용해야  통신 규약을 규정한 것이다예를 들어노트북 컴퓨터와 휴대 전화가 통신하기 위해서는 통신 규약이 서로 맞아야 데이터를 교환할  있다통신 규약 스택은 각각의 하드웨어에 탑재되어 통신 규약을 맞추어 구현해 주는 역할을 담당한다대표적인 것으로 TCP/IP 스택이 있으며이는 윈도즈 운영 체계에 포함되어 있다.

 

 

우리는 use of such an optimization approach for two classes of cross-layer problem 분명히 보여  것이다 다시 말해서,

Cellular (or access-point-based single-hop networks)에서 기회주의적 스케줄링 문제점을 보고 시나리오를 발전시켜서 multi-hop wireless networks에서의 혼잡제어와 스케줄링 문제를 살펴볼 것이다.

그리고 optimization approach 해결하기 위한 중요한 도구로 사용되는 convex programming  대해서 알아볼 것이다.

 

특히, convex programming에서 Lagrange duality 복잡한 최적화 문제를 간단한 여러 가지 문제로써 분해하는 중요한 핵심 도구이다하지만우리는 종종 우리는 이것만으로 문제를 100% 해결하는 것에는 부족하단 것을 안다왜냐하면유선 네트워크와는 반대로많은 무선 네트워크에서의 Cross-layer control problems  not convex (볼록않기 때문이다.

예를 든다면무선 네트워크에서의 간섭문제들로 인하여각각의 시간에 대해서 활성화 되어야 하는 링크들의 부분집합들에 대한 선택에 있어서 정확히 선택해야 하는 정교한 스케줄링 mechanisms 요구하는  같은 것이다무선 네트워크에서 링크들의 capacity 신호와 간섭레벨에 의존적이고그러한 것들은 파워와 링크의 전송 스케줄에 의존적이다그래서 link capacity, power assignment, and the transmission schedule 에서의 관계들은 전형적으로 non-convex 하다.

그러므로스케줄링 요소는 어려운 non-convex problem 풀기 위해 필요하고이는 보통 전체 솔루션에서 병목현상을 뛴다.

무선 네트워크에서 이러한 문제들을 내재하는 non-convex 문제들을 해결하기 위해선, convex-programming 적인 진보된 테크닉의 사용이 요구된다.

 

 

 

 tutorial paper에선아래의 6가지 예시들을 집중적으로 살펴  것이다.

1)       Tools from convex programming,

2)       Combinatorial optimization

3)       Stochastic stability

4)       Graph theory

5)       Large deviations

6)       Heavy-traffic limits are used to obtain realistic and efficient solutions to the cross-layer control problem.

 

cross-layer optimization 는 최근 사이에 꽤 큰 이슈로 발전 되었고, 이를 위한 포괄적인 조사는 공간적인 (space constraints) 제한을 가진다. 따라서, 이 paper에선 모두를 다 조사하진 못했다. 오히려, 포커스는 주요한 이슈와 도전들, 그리고 테크닉과 open problem들에 대해서 독자들에게 알려주는 정보전달에 대해서 맞춰져 있다. [7]을 참조하길 바란다.

 

 

 논문의 구성은 아래와 같다.

Section II: cellular networks에서 scheduling 문제점에 대한 설명을 하면서스케줄링 선택에 있어서 물리계층 채널 정보를 결합시키는 점에 대해서 강조한다.

Section III:  we investigate the joint congestion-control and scheduling problem in multi-hop wireless networks.

섹션3 내용은 주로 the cross-layer problem  a congestion control component and a scheduling component 2가지로 깔끔하게 분해하며 접근한다하지만, non-convexity성격 때문에 실제 네트워크에서 스케줄링은 매우 어렵지만 cross-layer solution으로 심플하지만 불완전한 해결법으로 어느 정도 접근해본다.

Section IV: 당연히  부분은 앞으로  보완되고 다듬어져 가야 한다.

Section V: recent developments in obtaining imperfect distributed scheduling policies with provably achievable throughput bounds.

We then conclude with a set of open problems.

 

 

II. OPPORTUNISTIC SCHEDULING FOR CELLULAR WIRELESS NETWORKS

 

오랫동안 multiuser scheduling problem 산업과 학교에서 많은 조명을 받아왔다그리고 multiuser scheduling problem 무선 네트워크에서 독특한 특징으로써 많은 동기부여를 받아왔다. : 자원의 크기, mobile 유저의 간섭문제시변 채널의 조건들(이동성과 페이딩으로 인한)

 

좋은 스케줄링 방법이란높은 네트워크 성능을 만족시키는 채널 컨디션을 기회주의적 형태로 분석 활용하는 것을 의미한다.

예를 들면, N명이 이용자들과 베이스 컨디션으로 구성된 cellular networks 고려하는 것이다.

게다가가정해보자.  유저들의 base station 으로부터의 타임슬롯시스템과 다운링크 통신에 대해서 가정해보자.

base station 채널 조건을 기반으로 어느 유저가 전송이 가능한지 결정할 수가 있다 아이디어는 SINR기반의 채널컨디션에 따라서 수신 단으로의 전송을 베이스 스테이션이 주어진 BER 만족시키며 높은 속도로 전송을 허용하는 것을 의미한다이것은 Base Station  기회주의적 기법으로 높은 네트워크 성능유지를 위하여 채널의 조건을 이용한다는 의미이다.

이와는 달리 기존의 전통적인 방법에선채널의 가변성을 제거하는 것이 주된 관심사였다.

 (예를 들면, spread spectrum, repetitive coding, and power averaging)

 

Opportunistic scheduling  대한 설명~ (앞장참고)

 

우리의 초점은 Downlink에서의 base station 전송 시나리오로 한정하며/무한 backlogged cased 위한 Opportunistic scheduling solutions  것이다.

 




A. Infinite-Backlog Case

 

Infinite-Backlog Case 종종 통신시스템 분야에서 프로토콜의 성능평가와 최대의 성능 량을 보기 위하여 사용된다.

이는 매우 심플하고 중요한 이해를 제공하는 다루기 쉬운 평가방법이다 단락의 내용에서의 목적은 실행가능한 스케줄링 정책 Q 찾는것이다. Q 주어진 공정성과 QoS 요구조건을 만족하며전반적으로 시스템 성능이 최대화를 보여주는 스케줄링 정책을 의미한다.

: policy Q Vector. 의미한다.

 : The index of the user selected for transmission : 전송을 위한 선택되는 유저의 인덱스

 : The data rate transmitted to user ; 사용자에게 전송되는 통신속도

Ui : the utility function of user , ; 유저의 이용률 함수

: measures the value or benefit to user i of the receiving data rate xi. ; i번째 유저의 수신속도 xi 이익 또는 값의 측정값

(Note that xi is a function of the channel condition and the coding and modulation scheme used.)

 

There have been many scheduling schemes that address this problem [9]–[13].

그리고 흥미롭게도 이들의 심플하고 근시안적인 스케줄 정책들의 형태는 아래의 식으로 표현이  수가 있다.

 

 

 and  constants and can be viewed as Lagrange multipliers. For example, consider the following problem studied in [12], [13]:

*Lagrange Multipliers: 출력물 참조

 

 

 :  The set of all stationary scheduling policies,

 : The minimum fraction of time-slots assigned to user (i.e., fairness in time)

 

명백하게 이것은 비선형 최적화 문제를 나타낸다하지만이것을 위의 Q*식에서  = 0  적절한 값의 선택으로 최적화를 쉽게 보여준다.

Q*식의 최적화 법은 각각의 타임슬롯에서 실행되고 확률적인 근사적 알고리즘을 통하여 얻을 수가 있다. [13]

유사하게도, temporal fairness 대신에 우리는 아래와 같은 QoS form 고려할 수가 있다.

 

• Fairness in utility: Each user receives at least a fraction of the aggregate utility value [11], [13].

 

• Minimum data rate requirement: Each user receives a minimum data rate of bps [13].

 

• Proportional fairness: Here, the objective is to achieve a solution that is proportionally fair, i.e., increasing the mean throughput of one user from the optimal level by results in a cumulative percentage decrease by greater than of the mean throughput of other users [14]. It turns out that such a solution is achieved when the optimization problem is to maximize the sum of the logarithms of the expected rates (or the product of the expected rates), i.e.,

식을 통하여 도출되는 각각의 케이스는 Q* 식과 상응하는 동일한 최적화 솔루션을 보여준다. (=0 )

그러므로이런 결과는 우리에게 무선네트워크상에서 시스템 성능의 기회적인 향상으로 이용될  있는 심플하면서 근시안적인 지표의 스케줄링 정책이라고 말해준다.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

B. Stability of Opportunistic Scheduling Schemes

 

이전에 A에서는 Infinite-Backlog Case  시스템으로 가정하여서 QoS/fairness constraints 조건하에 시스템의 Utility 평가하는 문제였다.

이제는, opportunistic scheduling 좀더 발전시켜서시스템의 QoS 제한성과 안정성을 위배하지 않는 범위 내에서 다루는 문제를  것이다.

먼저여기에 확률적인 안정성에서 유용성의 최대화로부터 이동한 문제가 있다 문제는 throughput-optimal scheduling 크게 관심 받아왔다. [15]

 것은 최대화의  가중치의 합의 비율이 바로최적의 처리량을 나타낸다는 스케줄링 법을 보여준다그리고 cellular networks에서 스케줄링 법은 아래의 형식을 따른다.

 : the queue length of user ,

xi : again the data rate transmitted to user

 

위의 스케줄링은 공정한 걸로 간주되며이것은 큐의 길이 정보가 최적화된 스케줄링 법에서 매우 중요한 것이라는 사실을 보여준다.

그래서이를 통하여많은 Idea들은 queue-length-based 처리량최적화와 안정성에 초점을 맞추어 opportunistic scheduling schemes 개발 되어왔다. [16]-[20]

(예를 들어), 논문 [16],[17]에서 아래의 form 따르는 간단한 index 스케줄링 법들은 최적의 처리량을 보여준다.

 

 : 상수,      the head-of-the-line packet delay at queue,      : the data rate of user.

그리고 delay-based 정책지표는 지수함수 가중치로 최적의 처리량을 보여준다.

최적의 처리량 스케줄링 법은 [21] 논문을 참고하길 바란다논문의 저자는 유저들이 시스템에 도달하는 임의의 부하의 양과 전송개시 하는 부하의 양을 모델링 했다그리고 최근에 논문[22], [23]에서의 저자는  traffic 제한성들과  편차로부터의 QoS 사용하는 기술과 안정성 기반의 다른 형태의 스케줄링을 특징짓고 구분하기를 시도하였다 핵심은 finite-Backlog Case에서 delay 제한성의 조건만 가질  QLB( 길이 기반 중요성이라는 결과로 이어진다.  QLB 정책의 네트워크 처리량은 그렇지 않는 스케줄링 법보다  높은 처리량을 보인다.

게다가시스템이 증가하는 경우와 초기에 증가하는  네트워크 처리량 정책안에서주어진 delay조건을 위반하며

 

 

Moreover, for a given delay violation constraint, when the number of users in the system increases, the total network throughput under policy (1) initially increases, and then eventually decreases to zero, but not so under the QLB policy. This should not be entirely surprising since index policies of the form (1) are agnostic to the delays incurred for different users and may not serve users whose queues are building up fast enough to remain within a delay violation probability.

 

 

 

또한 소정의 지연 제약 조건 위반으로 인해 시스템 증가하는 사용자 수가 정책 아래에서의  네트워크 처리량이 먼저 상승한 경우 다음 최종적으로  QLB 정책에 따라 제로가 아니다폼의 인덱스 정책이 다른 사용자 때문에 발생하는 지연에 사로 잡혀 있으면 지연 위반 확률에 체재하기 위하여 충분한 속도로 구축  사용자에게 서비스를 제공하지 않을지도 모르기 때문에 이것은 전혀 놀라운 일이 아니다.

 

또한주어진 지연 위반 제약 조건시스템 증가에 있는 사용자의 수가 정책에 따라 전체 네트워크 처리량이 처음 증가  그리고 결국 그렇게 QLB 정책 하에서 제로로 감소하지만폼의 인덱스 정책이 다른 사용자에 따른 지연 독립적이며해당 대기  지연 시간 위반 확률 내에 남아있는 만큼 빠르게 구축하는 사용자에게 서비스를 제공   없습니다 때문에 이것은 전혀 놀라운 일이  된다.
