We consider transmission of packets over queue-length sensitive unreliable links, where packets are randomly corrupted through a noisy channel whose transition probabilities are modulated by the queue-length. The goal is to characterize the…
In this article a special case of an M/G/2-queue is considered, where the two servers are exposed to two types of jobs that are distributed among the servers via a random switch. In this model the asymptotic behaviour of the workload buffer…
In this paper we analyze a single server queue with batch arrivals and semi-Markovian service times. We also include the feature that the first service of each busy period might have a different distribution than subsequent service times.…
We study the workload processes of two restricted M/G/1 queueing systems: in Model 1 any service requirement that would exceed a certain capacity threshold is truncated; in Model 2 new arrivals do not enter the system if they have to wait…
In the study of large scale stochastic networks with resource management, differential equations and mean-field limits are two key techniques. Recent research shows that the expected fraction vector (that is, the tailed probability vector)…
In this paper we consider a single-server cyclic polling system consisting of two queues. Between visits to successive queues, the server is delayed by a random switch-over time. Two types of customers arrive at the first queue: high and…
In traditional priority queues, we assume that every customer upon arrival has a fixed, class-dependent priority, and that a customer may not commence service if a customer with a higher priority is present in the queue. However, in…
The $M/GI/m/n$ queueing system with $m$ homogeneous servers and the finite number $n$ of waiting spaces is studied. Let $\lambda$ be the customers arrival rate, and let $\mu$ be the reciprocal of the expected service time of a customer.…
We propose a method based on probabilistic arguments to study the convexity of the autocorrelation function of processes associated with a single server queue. To illustrate the power of the method we apply it in two cases: to the workload…
We use simulation to estimate the steady-state performance of a stable multiclass queueing network. Standard estimators have been seen to perform poorly when the network is heavily loaded. We introduce two new simulation estimators. The…
The subject of this paper is the problem of estimating service time distribution of the $M/G/\infty$ queue from incomplete data on the queue. The goal is to estimate $G$ from observations of the queue--length process at the points of the…
We consider a status update system consisting of one source, one server, and one sink. The source generates packets according to a Poisson process and the packets are served according to a generally distributed service time. We consider a…
We consider an $M/G/\infty$ queue with infinite expected service time. We then provide the transience/recurrence classification of the states (the system is said to be at state $n$ if there are $n$ customers being served), observing also…
An exact formula for the equilibrium M/U/1 waiting time density is now effectively known. What began as a numeric exploration became a symbolic banquet. Inverse Laplace transforms provided breadcrumbs in the trail; delay differential…
We consider the problem of customer equilibrium strategies in an M/M/1 queue under dynamic service control. The service rate switches between a low and a high value depending on system congestion. Arriving customers do not observe the…
We study the information-theoretic limit of reliable information processing by a server with queue-length dependent quality of service. We define the capacity for such a system as the number of bits reliably processed per unit time, and…
Motivated by the operational problems in click and collect systems, such as curbside pickup programs, we study a joint admission control and capacity allocation problem. We consider a system where arriving customers have preferred service…
A G/M/N queue is considered in the moderate deviation heavy traffic regime. The rate function for the customers-in-system process is obtained for the single class model. A risk-sensitive type control problem is considered for multi-class…
The main objective of this paper is to look from the unique point of view at some phenomena arising in different areas of probability theory and mathematical statistics. We will try to understand what is common between classical…
In discrete time, customers arrive at random. Each waits until one of three servers is available; each thereafter departs at random. We seek the distribution of maximum line length of idle customers. Algebraic expressions obtained for the…
