We consider a class of two-queue polling systems with exhaustive service, where the order in which the server visits the queues is governed by a discrete-time Markov chain. For this model, we derive an expression for the probability generating function of the joint queue length distribution at polling epochs. Based on these results, we obtain explicit expressions for the Laplace-Stieltjes trans...

The paper deals with the analysis of BMAP/G/1 vacation models. We apply a formerly introduced two-step methodology separating the analysis into service discipline independent and service discipline dependent parts. In this paper we investigate the later analysis part for the binomial-gated and the binomial-exhaustive service disciplines, for which a specific form functional equation can be esta...

−We present exact union bounds on the error probability of space-time codes in fast Rayleigh and Rician fading channels. Using Craig’s formula for the Gaussian Q-function, an exact pairwise error probability (PEP) of space-time codes is expressed in the form of a single finite-range integral whose integrand involves in the moment generating function (MGF) of a nonnegative random variable. Based...
