Consider a system (e.g. a computer farm or a call center) operating as a M/M/c queue, where c = 1, or 1 < c < ∞, or c = ∞. The system as a whole suffers disastrous break...
We consider an extension of the standard G/G/1 queue, described by the equation W D = max{0, B − A + Y W}, where P[Y = 1] = p and P[Y = −1] = 1 − p. For p = 1 this model red...
— In this paper, a scheduling problem is considered in the cellular network where there exist CBR (constant bit rate) users requiring exact minimum average throughput and delay g...
