An application-oriented scheduler

Abstract

We consider a multi-agent system where agents compete for the access to the radio resource. By combining some application-level parameters, such as the resilience, with a knowledge of the radio environment, we propose a new way of modeling the scheduling problem as an optimization problem. We design accordingly a low-complexity solver. The performance are compared with state-of-the-art schedulers via simulations. The numerical results show that this application-oriented scheduler performs better than standard schedulers. As a result, it offers more space for the selection of the application-level parameters to reach any arbitrary performance.
