PNC network can generate transmission schedule based on PNC atoms. Performance evaluation results indicate that decomposition based on PNC atoms outperforms the traditional multi-hop (non-NC) scheduling by about 100% and can yield performance gain of 40% or more compared with decomposition based on the PNC TWRC atom alone. Further performance evaluation results indicate that decomposition based on SNC atoms outperforms the traditional multi-hop (non-NC) scheduling by about 33% and can yield performance gain of 14% or more compared with decomposition based on the SNC TWRC atom alone.

  • Patent number: 9258248
    Abstract: A network device of a communication network is configured to implement coordinated scheduling and processor rate control. In one aspect, packets are received in the network device and scheduled for processing from one or more queues of that device. An operating rate of a processor of the network device is controlled based at least in part on at least one of an arrival rate of the packets and a number of the packets stored in the one or more queues. As one example of processor rate control based on packet arrival rate, the operating rate of the processor may be controlled by accumulating a designated number of the received packets, determining an average arrival rate of the accumulated packets, and setting the operating rate of the processor based on the average arrival rate.
