Multi-priority fork-join scheduling in SDN for high-performance data transmissions in mobile crowdsourcing

In this paper, we propose an SDN-based multi-priority fork-join scheduling scheme for achieving high-performance data transmissions for mobile crowdsourcing. A network calculus-based modeling and analysis technique for evaluating the performance of the proposed scheme is developed. Through extensive simulations and investigations on the impacts of various scheduling parameters, our results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed scheme and the developed analyzing techniques.
