Abstract
A novel tag computation circuit for a credit based Self-Clocked Fair Queuing (SCFQ) Scheduler is presented in this paper. The scheduler combines Weighted Fair Queuing (WFQ) with a credit based bandwidth reallocation scheme. The proposed architecture is able to reallocate bandwidth on the fly if particular links suffer from channel quality degradation. The hardware architecture is parallel and pipelined enabling an aggregated throughput rate of 180 million tag computations per second. The throughput performance is ideal for Broadband Wireless Access applications, allowing room for relatively complex computations in QoS aware adaptive scheduling. The high-level system breakdown is described and synthesis results for Altera Stratix II FPGA technology are presented.
