— This paper examines burst contention resolution problems in optical burst switching (OBS) networks. Since burst contentions take place i) when the network is congested by incre...
It is shown that the queuing delay involved in the congestion control algorithm is state-dependent and does not depend on the current time. Then, using an accurate formulation for ...
In a distributed system where scalability is an issue, like in a GRID [5], the problem of enforcing mutual exclusion often arises in a soft form: the infrequent failure of the mut...
We investigate the performance of the IEEE 802.11e while emphasizing on the end-to-end delay performance. In our MAC delay analysis, we are based on elementary conditional probabi...

—This paper addresses the problem of the stability of congestion control for networks with large round-trip communication delays. Nearly all the existed AQM schemes neglect the i...
