We consider the Adversarial Queuing Theory (AQT) model, where packet arrivals are subject to a maximum average rate $0\le\rho\le1$ and burstiness $\sigma\ge0$. In this model, we analyze the size of buffers required to avoid overflows in the…
In this paper we improve the approximation ratio for the problem of scheduling packets on line networks with bounded buffers, where the aim is that of maximizing the throughput. Each node in the network has a local buffer of bounded size…
We consider algorithms to schedule packets with values and deadlines in a size-bounded buffer. At any time, the buffer can store at most B packets. Packets arrive over time. Each packet has a non-negative value and an integer deadline. In…
We consider the fundamental problem of managing a bounded size queue buffer where traffic consists of packets of varying size, where each packet requires several rounds of processing before it can be transmitted from the queue buffer. The…
In the online packet buffering problem (also known as the unweighted FIFO variant of buffer management), we focus on a single network packet switching device with several input ports and one output port. This device forwards unit-size,…
We consider a new model for buffer management of network switches with Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. A stream of packets, each attributed with a value representing its Class of Service (CoS), arrives over time at a network switch…
In this paper, we study stability and latency of routing in wireless networks where it is assumed that no collision will occur. Our approach is inspired by the adversarial queuing theory, which is amended in order to model wireless…
Routers have packet buffers to reduce packet drops during times of congestion. It is important to correctly size the buffer: make it too small, and packets are dropped unnecessarily and the link may be underutilized; make it too big, and…
We study {\em routing} and {\em scheduling} in packet-switched networks. We assume an adversary that controls the injection time, source, and destination for each packet injected. A set of paths for these packets is {\em admissible} if no…
We consider scheduling packets with values in a capacity-bounded buffer in an online setting. In this model, there is a buffer with limited capacity $B$. At any time, the buffer cannot accommodate more than $B$ packets. Packets arrive over…
Motivated by providing quality-of-service differentiated services in the Internet, we consider buffer management algorithms for network switches. We study a multi-buffer model. A network switch consists of multiple size-bounded buffers such…
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…
In Packet Scheduling with Adversarial Jamming packets of arbitrary sizes arrive over time to be transmitted over a channel in which instantaneous jamming errors occur at times chosen by the adversary and not known to the algorithm. The…
We study deterministic distributed broadcasting in synchronous multiple-access channels. Packets are injected into $n$ nodes by a window-type adversary that is constrained by a window $w$ and injection rates individually assigned to all…
We consider the problem of managing a bounded size First-In-First-Out (FIFO) queue buffer, where each incoming unit-sized packet requires several rounds of processing before it can be transmitted out. Our objective is to maximize the total…
We consider learning outcomes in games with carryover effects between rounds: when outcomes in the present round affect the game in the future. An important example of such systems is routers in networking, as they use simple learning…
We consider packet forwarding in the adversarial queueing theory (AQT) model introduced by Borodin et al. We introduce a refinement of the AQT $(\rho, \sigma)$-bounded adversary, which we call a \emph{locally bursty adversary} (LBA) that…
This paper investigates the capacity of a channel in which information is conveyed by the timing of consecutive packets passing through a queue with independent and identically distributed service times. Such timing channels are commonly…
We investigate routing on networks modeled as multiple access channels, when packets are injected continually. There is an energy cap understood as a bound on the number of stations that can be switched on simultaneously. Each packet is…
In this paper, we consider a simple network consisting of a source, a half-duplex decode-and-forward relay, and a destination. We propose a new relaying protocol employing adaptive link selection, i.e., in any given time slot, based on the…
