Abstract—Various kinds of services transmitted over power communication networks are the key to make the power systems maintain normal operation. These various kinds of services may require different quality of service (QoS) guarantees, and scheduling mechanism is an efficient means to meet such requirement. In this study, we give a detailed introduction to several scheduling policies. To accurately evaluate the impacts of scheduling on the performance of services, based on stochastic network calculus, we derive the stochastic delay bounds of different types of services under the introduced scheduling policies.

Index Terms—Power communication networks, QoS, scheduling, Stochastic network calculus.
