Work/non-work conserving schedulers in communication systems

In wireless communication systems, scheduling is an important concept. The basic task of a Scheduler is togfhfghgf:28, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Okay. Non-work conserving (or conservative?) scheduling are only used in circuit-oriented TDMA systems, right? Any good examples? GSM?

I suppose that work conserving scheduling is used in packet-switching, not only best-effort, but also systems where resources are reserved in advance (for example GPRS and ATM), and systems that offer guaranteed quality of service, since remaining capacity can be given to users that do not require any special service.

Separate communication article?

I suggest that the data packet scheduling issues are removed from scheduling (computing) and scheduling algorithm articles into a separate article on scheduling (communication). Perhaps the remaining scheduling algorithm article should be merged with [[[scheduling (computing)]], which now should focus on operational systems and multitasking.

Which of all the scheduling disciplines, policies and algorithms listed in the scheduling (computing) article belongs to networking, and which belongs to operational systems?

Is it possible to clarify what is an algorithm (such as fair queuing), and what is a policy or discipline (such as max-min fairness)?

I would like to catch your attention to one of the key area of scheduling which we can not ignore, the scheduling of time for institutes and organizations. A lot of projects pending because of Non-solvability of scheduling problem, like one of the major IT firm is unable to schedule the time table for MIT.

I'm removing the split tag and editing the article to generalize it for communications and computing. Hopefully someone will come by and instantiate the Scheduling (communications) redlink for you. --Kvng (talk) 22:06, 2 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This article section:

Places this article as it's main article for a section, but this article is smaller than the section.

I don't know enough of the subject to know if the content there belongs here... could somebody who knows move it over?--DustWolf (talk) 15:25, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
