We consider the problem of maximizing capacity in a queueing network with flexible servers, where the classes and servers are subject to failure. We assume that the interarrival ...
We consider the problem of several users transmitting packets to a base station, and study an optimal scheduling formulation involving three communication layers, namely, the mediu...
Several objectives have been identified in developing the random early drop (RED): decreasing queueing delay, increasing throughput, and increasing fairness between short and long...
In the future, voice communication is expected to migrate from the public switched telephone network to the Internet. Because of the particular characteristics (low volume and bur...
This paper proposes a novel scheduling discipline for service differentiation in multi-service networks, which is referred to as the Probabilistic Priority (PP) discipline. PP is ...
