We consider a Markovian clearing queueing system, where the customers are accumulated according to a Poisson arrival process and the server removes all present customers at the completion epochs of exponential service cycles. This system…
This paper studies the problem of scheduling in single-hop wireless networks with real-time traffic, where every packet arrival has an associated deadline and a minimum fraction of packets must be transmitted before the end of the deadline.…
In this paper, a novel Deep Q-Network (DQN) based scheduling method to optimize delay time and fairness among entanglement requests in quantum repeater networks is proposed. The scheduling of requests determines which pairs of end nodes…
In this paper, we study an $N$ server fork-join queue with nearly deterministic arrival and service times. Specifically, we present a fluid limit for the maximum queue length as $N\to\infty$. This fluid limit depends on the initial number…
We consider a switched network, a fairly general constrained queueing network model that has been used successfully to model the detailed packet-level dynamics in communication networks, such as input-queued switches and wireless networks.…
We analyze opportunistic schemes for transmission scheduling from one of $n$ homogeneous queues whose channel states fluctuate independently. Considered schemes consist of the LCQ policy, which transmits from a longest connected queue in…
We analyse a non-cooperative game between two competing ride-hailing platforms, each of which is modeled as a two-sided queueing system, where drivers (with a limited level of patience) are assumed to arrive according to a Poisson process…
Most existing routing strategies to improve transport efficiency have little attention what order should the packets be delivered, just simply used first-in-first-out queue discipline. However, it is far from optimal. In this paper we apply…
We analyze a boarding solution for a transport system in which the number of passengers allowed to enter a transport cabin is automatically controlled. Expressions charac- terizing the stochastic properties of the passenger queue length,…
We study online task allocation for multi-robot, multi-queue systems with asymmetric stochastic arrivals and switching delays. We formulate the problem in discrete time: each location can host at most one robot per slot, servicing a task…
We study the performance of random linear network coding for time division duplexing channels with Poisson arrivals. We model the system as a bulk-service queue with variable bulk size. A full characterization for random linear network…
We study a continuous-time, infinite-horizon dynamic bipartite matching problem. Suppliers arrive according to a Poisson process; while waiting, they may abandon the queue at a uniform rate. Customers on the other hand must be matched upon…
We analyse a non-cooperative strategic game among two ride-hailing platforms, each of which is modeled as a two-sided queueing system, where drivers (with a certain patience level) are assumed to arrive according to a Poisson process at a…
Motivated by the Quality-of-Service (QoS) buffer management problem, we consider online scheduling of packets with hard deadlines in a finite capacity queue. At any time, a queue can store at most $b \in \mathbb Z^+$ packets. Packets arrive…
Use-case-specific network slicing in decentralized multi-tenancy cloud environments is a promising approach to bridge the gap between the demand and supply of resources in next-generation communication networks. Our findings associate…
A system manager makes dynamic pricing and dispatch control decisions in a queueing network model motivated by ride-hailing applications. A novel feature of the model is that it incorporates travel times. Unfortunately, this renders the…
We study the steady-state delay performance of load balancing in large-scale systems with heterogeneous servers in the heavy-traffic regimes. The system consists of $N$ servers, each with a local buffer of size $b-1$, serving jobs in the…
We introduce and study a queue with the Erlang service system and whose arrivals are governed by a counting process in which there is a possibility of finitely many arrivals in an infinitesimal time interval. We call it the Erlang queue…
In this paper, we study a routing and travel-mode choice problem for mobility systems with a multimodal transportation network as a ``mobility game" with coupled action sets. We develop a game-theoretic framework to study the impact on…
I develop a continuous-time model in which an incumbent batch-service provider faces stochastic passenger arrivals and must decide when to dispatch under the threat of customer defection to a faster entrant. The incumbent's problem is…
