Novel scheduling characteristics for mixture of real-time and non-real-time traffic

This paper presents comprehensive performance analyses of a novel scheduling policy for wireless communications where users have mixed real-time (RT) and non-real-time (nRT) traffic. Also, it introduces novel characteristics to scheduling where the QoS perceived by RT and nRT streams within a mixed traffic system can be differentiated and managed. Performance comparisons with popular proportional fair scheduling policy as well as the convergence analysis are also included.
