Optimal operating points of the network need to be determined, that satisfy a number of constraints that ensure consistency of the operating points, as well as external constraints like minimum guaranteed throughputs or maximum power consumptions.
Although it has been shown that MOB improves the average throughput of the system [4], the main target of this work is in providing a precise and guaranteed QoS control for all the users, mainly in terms of the maximum allowed delay, and minimum-guaranteed throughput.
Each university will receive a minimum guarantee of $550,000.
For example, if the DLC queue length (i.e., available number of users) is, and each user is guaranteed a minimum throughput value of 10 Mbps within a maximum of 20 time slots (i.e., 20 ms), then the minimum-guaranteed throughput value per user and per slot equals 0.5 Mbps, as shown in Figure 4.
Note that the minimum-guaranteed throughput is the worst case awarded throughput to the users, but it actually defines the throughput value that an operator can guarantee to its customers, obviously, with a given outage ; where the guaranteed throughput per user is different from the concept of average throughput in (4), previously presented.
"We receive equity in lieu of a minimum guarantee.
To serve cell-interior users, BSs either adopt a round-robin (RR) scheduling algorithm or a multichannel proportional fair (PF) scheduling algorithm [21] that guarantees minimum throughput (150 Kbps for all users in our setting) [10].
Best effort with minimum guaranteed.
The reasons why TCP flows cannot obtain 2-Mbps throughputs as same as UDP flows are because of (1) the TCP congestion control mechanism, (2) the minimum guaranteed bandwidth, and (3) the unpredictable wireless capacity.
Best effort with minimum guaranteed (BG), where the VNO is guaranteed with a minimum level of service.
Similarly, bandwidth-bound applications involving video streaming expect a minimum level of throughput guarantee.
