Motivated by applications in online marketplaces such as ride-hailing platforms and payment channel networks, we study a single-server queue with state-dependent arrival control. The service operator dynamically chooses the arrival rate as…
Motivated by emerging applications in online matching platforms and marketplaces, we study a matching queue. Customers and servers that arrive in a matching queue depart as soon as they are matched. While state-dependent control is an…
Self-interested behavior in sharing economies often leads to inefficient aggregate outcomes compared to a centrally coordinated allocation, ultimately harming users. Yet, centralized coordination removes individual decision power. This…
We study randomized experiments in a service system when stochastic congestion can arise from temporarily limited supply or excess demand. Such congestion gives rise to cross-unit interference between the waiting customers, and analytic…
Congestion pricing policies have emerged as promising traffic management tools to alleviate traffic congestion caused by travelers' selfish routing behaviors. The core principle behind deploying tolls is to impose monetary costs on…
Perimeter control is an effective urban traffic management strategy that regulates inflow to congested urban regions using aggregate network dynamics. While existing approaches primarily optimize system-level efficiency, such as total…
The bandwidth adaptation is the technique that allows the flexibility in bandwidth allocation for a call. Using the bandwidth adaptation technique, the number of call admission in the system can be increased significantly. In this paper we…
Connected and automated vehicles have shown great potential in improving traffic mobility and reducing emissions, especially at unsignalized intersections. Previous research has shown that vehicle passing order is the key influencing factor…
Playout buffers are used in VoIP systems to compensate for network delay jitter by making a trade-off between delay and loss. In this work we propose a playout buffer algorithm that makes the trade-off based on maximization of…
This paper studies queueing problems with an endogenous number of machines with and without an initial queue, the novelty being that coalitions not only choose how to queue, but also on how many machines. For a given problem, agents can…
With the hardware offloading of network functions, network interface cards (NICs) undertake massive stateful, high-precision, and high-throughput tasks, where timers serve as a critical enabling component. However, existing timer management…
We study a double-ended queue which consists of two classes of customers. Whenever there is a pair of customers from both classes, they are matched and leave the system immediately. The matching follows first-come-first-serve principle. If…
Modern networks exhibit a high degree of variability in link rates. Cellular network bandwidth inherently varies with receiver motion and orientation, while class-based packet scheduling in datacenter and service provider networks induces…
The choice of feedback mechanism between delay and packet loss has long been a point of contention in TCP congestion control. This has partly been resolved, as it has become increasingly evident that delay based methods are needed to…
In many cognitive radio applications, there are multiple types of message queues. Existing queueing analysis works in underlay CR networks failed to discuss packets heterogeneity. Therefore high priority packets with impatient waiting time…
Most widely-used pre-trained language models operate on sequences of tokens corresponding to word or subword units. By comparison, token-free models that operate directly on raw text (bytes or characters) have many benefits: they can…
Congestion pricing offers a promising traffic management policy for regulating congestion, but has also been criticized for placing outsized financial burdens on low-income users. Credit-based congestion pricing (CBCP) and discount-based…
In Heterogeneous mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) congestion occurs with limited resources. Due to the shared wireless channel and dynamic topology, packet transmissions suffer from interference and fading. In heterogeneous ad hoc networks,…
Mobile networks are intriguing in recent years due to their practical implications. Previous routing strategies for improving transport efficiency have little attention what order should the packets be forwarded, just simply used…
Blockchain systems come with the promise of being inclusive for a variety of decentralized applications (DApps) that can serve different purposes and have different urgency requirements. Despite this, the transaction fee mechanisms…
