Priority Based Task Scheduling in Cloud Integrated WOBAN Network

Access network infrastructures are being heavily tested by the advent of new multimedia services. Wireless-optical broadband access network (WOBAN) is being developed to address such demands. In a WOBAN, service requests migrate from the wireless front end to the optical backend to reach distant cloud servers, creating wireless network bottlenecks that could degrade performance. Thus, Cloud Integrated WOBAN (CIW) is a popular method for combining cloudlets with WOBAN to provide resource-intensive and delay-sensitive applications. Data packets go through a number of intermediary nodes in CIW from the source node to a wireless frontend cloudlet. However, it is a problem to figure out how to schedule these packets throughout the many cloudlets. The proposed work examines the priority-based scheduling method with the packet deadline constraint. The outcome examines a parametric evaluation of the algorithm in terms of the packet drop for the highest priority applications.
