This paper studies the effect of packet loss during application weighted gradient descent to solve a resource allocation problem with piecewise quadratic cost functions in multi-agent system. We define two performance metrics that measure, respectively, deviation from constraint and error on expected function. derive upper bounds both metrics: are proportional difference between initial functio...

The paper deals with an influence of network jitter on effective packet loss in dejitter buffer. We analyze behavior of jitter buffers with and without packet reordering capability and quantify the additional packet loss caused by packets dropped in buffer on top of the measured network packet loss. We propose substitution of packet loss parameter Ppl in ITU-T E-Model by effective packet loss P...

We focus on the stochastic properties of the packet loss process of a switch with output buffering. Higher-order packet loss characteristics are important performance measures since the packet loss ratio is often insufficient to assess user perceived quality of service for various types of multimedia streaming applications. Using a probability generating functions approach, we obtain both per b...
