We give a memoryless scale-invariant randomized algorithm ReMix for Packet Scheduling that is e/(e−1)-competitive against an adaptive adversary. ReMix unifies most of previously known randomized algorithms, and its general analysis yields improved performance guarantees for several restricted variants, including the s-bounded instances. In particular, ReMix attains the optimum competitive ratio of 4/3 on 2-bounded instances. Our results are applicable to a more general problem, called Item Collection, in which only the relative order between packets’ deadlines is known. ReMix is the optimal memoryless randomized algorithm against adaptive adversary for that problem.
