Enhanced Fair Joint Multiple Resource Allocation Method in All-IP Networks

Abstract

To support any services in all-IP networks, it is necessary to allocate both computing resource and network resource (bandwidth) simultaneously and effectively. The authors proposed the joint resource allocation method for multiple resource types, assuming the non-delay resource allocation. Although the proposed method can achieve an efficient use of resources, it may result in an unfair use of resources in which resources may be monopolized by a specific service. Therefore, the authors proposed the fair joint multiple resource allocation method which tries to equalize the total amount of resource allocated to each service. This paper proposes to enhance the fair joint resource allocation method, assuming three or more services and unbalanced generation traffic. It is demonstrated by basic simulation evaluations that the enhanced fair joint resource allocation method could enable fair resource allocation among multiple services without a large decline in resource efficiency.
