With the continuous expanding of Internet scale, the network users and application increase rapidly and congestion control has become focus of network study. Several congestion control algorithms have been proposed out and improved for effective reduction of packet loss rate and for better utilization of network bandwidth. AQM (Active Queue Management) controls the queue length through intermed...

existence of capacity drop phenomenon, as the difference between pre-queue and queue discharge flow rates, has been one of the controversial concepts of traffic engineering. several researches have focused on capacity drop existence and also its estimation issues. this paper aims to estimate capacity drop based not only on a comparison between breakdown and queue discharge flow rates, but also ...

We introduce a novel and robust active queue management (AQM) scheme based on a fuzzy controller, called hybrid fuzzy-PID controller. In the TCP network, AQM is important to regulate the queue length by passing or dropping the packets at the intermediate routers. RED, PI, and PID algorithms have been used for AQM. But these algorithms show weaknesses in the detection and control of congestion u...

Intersections are considered as the most critical parts of the bus rapid transit (BRT) system. Transit signal priority is one of the efficient solutions to reduce BRT fleet delays at intersections. The aim of this study is to propose a new algorithm to decrease the BRT fleet delays at actuated intersections, while reducing the negative impacts on different approaches. The adaptive strategy is a...

this paper analyzes a controllable discrete-time machine repair problem withl operating machines and two repairmen. the number of working servers can be adjusteddepending on the number of failed machines in the system one at a time at machine's failure orat service completion epochs. analytical closed-form solutions of the stationary probabilities ofthe number of failed machines in the sys...

Internet represents a shared resource wherein users contend for the finite network bandwidth. Contention among independent user demands can result in congestion, which in turn leads to long queuing delays, packet losses or both. Congestion control regulates the rate at which traffic sources inject packets into a network to ensure high bandwidth utilization while avoiding network congestion. Thi...

The Adaptive RED proposed by Feng et al . [5] is shown to have small packet delay and queue length variation for long-life TCP traffic such as FTP connection with a large file size. However, a great portion of Internet traffic is shortlife web and UDP traffic. Most web traffic has a small file size and its TCP session is mainly operated in the slow start phase with a small congestion window siz...

This paper deals with multi-component machine repair model having provision of warm standby units and repair facility consisting of two heterogeneous servers (primary and secondary) to provide repair to the failed units. The failure of operating and standby units may occur individually or due to some common cause. The primary server may fail partially following full failure whereas secondary se...
