Inspired by quantum switches, we consider a discrete-time multi-way matching system with two classes of arrivals: requests for entangled pair of qubits between two nodes, and qubits from each node that can be used to serve the requests. An…
In Internet environment, traffic flow to a link is typically modeled by superposition of ON/OFF based sources. During each ON-period for a particular source, packets arrive according to a Poisson process and packet sizes (hence service…
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…
Heavy traffic analysis for load balancing policies has relied heavily on the condition of state-space collapse onto a single-dimensional line in previous works. In this paper, via Lyapunov-drift analysis, we rigorously prove that even under…

We consider a queueing system with $n$ parallel queues operating according to the so-called "supermarket model" in which arriving customers join the shortest of $d$ randomly selected queues. Assuming rate $n\lambda_{n}$ Poisson arrivals and…
In this note, we apply Stein's method to analyze the steady-state distribution of queueing systems in the traditional heavy-traffic regime. Compared to previous methods (e.g., drift method and transform method), Stein's method allows us to…
We consider a stochastic network with mobile users in a heavy-traffic regime. We derive the scaling limit of the multi-dimensional queue length process and prove a form of spatial state space collapse. The proof exploits a recent result by…
A queueing model has $J\ge2$ heterogeneous service stations, each consisting of many independent servers with identical capabilities. Customers of $I\ge2$ classes can be served at these stations at different rates, that depend on both the…
The Foster-Lyapunov theorem and its variants serve as the primary tools for studying the stability of queueing systems. In addition, it is well known that setting the drift of the Lyapunov function equal to zero in steady-state provides…
We study a queueing network with a strictly upper-triangular routing matrix, where each column contains at most one non-negative entry, and the root node receives input from a spectrally positive L\'{e}vy process. Our aim is to characterize…
We study $n$ parallel queues in an extreme heavy-traffic regime: each server works at rate $n$, while jobs arrive to a dispatcher at rate $n^2-(a-b)\sqrt{n}$, with fixed $a>b>0$. Arrivals are routed by a marginal join-the-shortest-queue…
We study the scheduling polices for asymptotically optimal delay in queueing systems with switching overhead. Such systems consist of a single server that serves multiple queues, and some capacity is lost whenever the server switches to…
Switched queueing networks model wireless networks, input queued switches and numerous other networked communications systems. For single-hop networks, we consider a {($\alpha,g$)-switch policy} which combines the MaxWeight policies with…
