Abstract

In this paper a novel scheduling algorithm of packet selection in a switch node for transmission in a network channel, based on Reinforcement Learning and modified Adaptive Heuristic Critic is introduced. A comparison of two well known scheduling algorithms: Earliest Deadline First and Round Robin shows that these algorithms perform well in some cases, but they cannot adapt their behavior to traffic changes. Simulation studies show that novel scheduling algorithm outperforms Round Robin and Earliest Deadline First by adapting to changing of network conditions. Key words: Reinforcement Learning, telecommunication networks, packets scheduling.
