Scheduling periodic messages on a shared link without buffering

Résumé

© The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC, part of Springer Nature 2024.Cloud RAN, a novel architecture for modern mobile networks, relocates processing units from antenna to distant data centers. This shift introduces the challenge of ensuring low latency for the periodic messages exchanged between antennas and their respective processing units. In this study, we tackle the problem of devising an efficient periodic message assignment scheme under the constraints of fixed message size and period without contention nor buffering. We address this problem by modeling it on a common network topology, wherein contention arises from a single shared link servicing multiple antennas. While reminiscent of coupled task scheduling, the introduction of periodicity adds a unique dimension to the problem. We study how the problem behaves with regard to the load of the shared link, and we focus on proving that, for load as high as possible, a solution always exists and it can be found in polynomial time. The main contributions of this article are two polynomial time algorithms, which find a solution for messages of any size and load at most 2/5 or for messages of size one and load at most ϕ-1, the golden ratio conjugate. We also prove that a randomized greedy algorithm finds a solution on almost all instances with high probability, shedding light on the effectiveness of greedy algorithms in practical applications.
