We introduce the {\Delta}(i)/GI/1 queue, a new queueing model. In this model, customers from a given population independently sample a time to arrive from some given distribution F. Thus, the arrival times are an ordered statistics, and the…
We study the dynamic behavior of frameless ALOHA, both in terms of throughput and age of information (AoI). In particular, differently from previous studies, our analysis accounts for the fact that the number of terminals contending the…
In this paper we present the fluid limit of an heavily loaded Earliest Deadline First queue with impatient customers, represented by a measure-valued process keeping track of residual time-credits of lost and waiting customers. This fluid…
Distributed control agents have been advocated as an effective means for improving the resiliency of our physical infrastructures under unexpected events. Purely local control has been shown to be insufficient, centralized optimal resource…

We study an ordinary differential equation (ODE) arising as the many-server heavy-traffic fluid limit of a sequence of overloaded Markovian queueing models with two customer classes and two service pools. The system, known as the X model in…
We study a double-ended queue where buyers and sellers arrive to conduct trades. When there is a pair of buyer and seller in the system, they immediately transact a trade and leave. Thus there cannot be non-zero number of buyers and sellers…
Machine-type communication (MTC) has been extensively studied to provide connectivity for devices and sensors in the Internet-of-Thing (IoT). Thanks to the sparse activity, random access, e.g., ALOHA, is employed for MTC to lower signaling…
In ALOHA-type packetized network, the transmission times of packets follow a stochastic process. In this paper, we advocate a deterministic approach for channel multiple-access. Each user is statically assigned a periodic protocol signal,…
Contemporary mobile devices are battery powered and due to their shrinking size and increasing complexity operate on a tight energy budget. Thus, energy consumption is becoming one of the major concerns regarding the current and upcoming…
The advent of Machine-to-Machine communication has sparked a new wave of interest to random access protocols, especially in application to LTE Random Access (RA). By analogy with classical slotted ALOHA, state-of-the-art models LTE RA as a…

Bandwidth-sharing networks as introduced by Massouli\'e & Roberts (1998) model the dynamic interaction among an evolving population of elastic flows competing for several links. With policies based on optimization procedures, such models…
Interference is a main limiting factor of the performance of a wireless ad hoc network. The temporal and the spatial correlation of the interference makes the outages correlated temporally (important for retransmissions) and spatially…
