Wireless access points act as bridges between wireless and wired networks. Since the actually available bandwidth in wireless networks is much smaller than that in wired networks, there is a bandwidth disparity in channel capacity which makes the access point a significant network congestion point. The recently proposed active queue management (AQM) is an effective method used in wired network ...

This paper deals with finite capacity single server queuing system with vacations. Vacation starts at rate nu if the system is empty. Also the server takes another vacation if upon his arrival to the system, finds the system empty. Customers arrive in the system in Poisson fashion at rate lamda0 during vacation, faster rate lamdaf during active service and slower rate lamdas during the breakdow...

This paper deals with bi-level control policy and queuing analysis of a machine repair problem. The model is developed by incorporating mixed standbys (cold and warm), reneging, set up and vacation time. The repair facility consists of two heterogeneous repairmen in the system. The life and repair time of the failed units and also their set up times are assumed to be exponentially distributed. ...

We consider an extension of the classical machine-repair model, also known as the computer-terminal model or time-sharing model. As opposed to the classical model, we assume that the machines, apart from receiving service from the repairman, supply service themselves to queues of products. The extended model can be viewed as a two-layered queueing network, of which the first layer consists of t...

The virtual rate control (VRC) algorithm has been proposed for active queue management (AQM) in TCP networks. This algorithm uses an adaptive rate control instead of queue length control in order to respond quickly to traffic change with high utilization and small loss. By introducing the notion of virtual target rate, the VRC algorithm can maintain an input rate around the target rate, while a...

The main aim of this paper is to examine issues relating to the performance of various Telecommunication networks, and applied queuing theory for better design and improved efficiency. Firstly, giving an analytical study of queues deals with quantifying the phenomenon of waiting lines using representative measures of performances, such as average queue length (on average number of customers in ...

Random Early Detection (RED) is one of the most commonly used Active Queue Management (AQM) algorithms that is recommended by IETF for deployment in the network. Although RED provides low average queuing delay and high throughput at the same time, but effectiveness of RED is highly sensitive to the RED parameters setting. As network condition varies largely, setting RED's parameters with fixed ...

In this paper, a genetic algorithm-based (GA-based) proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controller as an active queue manager for Internet routers is proposed to reduce packet loss and improve network utilization in TCP/IP networks. Based on the window-based nonlinear dynamics, the TCP network was modeled as a time-delayed system with a saturated input due to the limitations of packet-droppi...

Scheduling jobs on the IBM SP2 system is usually done by giving each job a partition of the machine for its exclusive use. Allocating such partitions in the order that the jobs arrive (FCFS scheduling) is fair and predictable, but su ers from severe fragmentation, leading to low utilization. This motivated Argonne National Lab, where the rst large SP1 was installed, to develop the EASY schedule...
