Summary :

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) switching system is expected to handle various kinds of media (such as motion video, computer data, and voice), and traffic control becomes essential to satisfy various quality requirements and to maintain efficient utilization of system resources. Priority control is one possible solution for realizing such a traffic control. In priority control, cells from various media are scheduled for transmission with different priority according to the quality class to which they belong. In this paper, we propose a new priority control method in which cells from various media are stored in their own buffer, we call it class buffer, and priority assignments are carried out based on the number of cells in each class buffer and the delay time. The number of cells in each class buffer is maintained using the counter circuit. The delay time of the cell is checked by the timer circuit for cell group, each of which consists of cells arriving during a periodical time interval. For simulation model, we consider three kinds of traffic; video, computer data, and voice, of which quality requirements are quite different. We show performance results in terms of the cell delay and the cell loss probability in our method through simulation.
