This paper designs and analyzes the performance of a communication scheduler
that cooperates with each other over the dual-channel wireless network, aiming at enhancing
reliability and timeliness of time-sensitive applications on embedded devices.
The proposed scheme consists of (1) evenly partitioning the stream set into two identical
ones, (2) applying EDF (Earliest Deadline First) policy on the respective set after an acceptance
test, and (3) maximizing the number of switchable pairs. Based on this schedule
and channel estimation, the coordinator schedules each node according to 3-level selection
steps made up of normal schedule, channel switch, and slot reallocation. Simulation
results show that the proposed scheme improves the deadline meet ratio by up to
28 %, compared with the global EDF policy, when packet error rate reaches 0.4. The slot
reallocation can enhance the real-time performance by 11% when the deadline of each
application gets larger up to 5 times of execution time.
