Achievable Performance of Blind Policies in Heavy Traffic
نویسندگان
چکیده
For a GI/GI/1 queue, we show that the average sojourn time under the (blind) Randomized Multilevel Feedback algorithm is no worse than that under the Shortest Remaining Processing Time algorithm times a logarithmic function of the system load. Moreover, it is verified that this bound is tight in heavy traffic, up to a constant multiplicative factor. We obtain this result by combining techniques from two disparate areas: competitive analysis and applied probability.

Diffusion approximations for controlled stochastic networks: An asymptotic bound for the value function
We consider the scheduling control problem for a family of unitary networks under heavy traffic, with general interarrival and service times, probabilistic routing and infinite horizon discounted linear holding cost. A natural non-anticipativity condition for admissibility of control policies is introduced. The condition is seen to hold for a broad class of problems. Using this formulation of a...
متن کاملLoad Analysis of Topology-Unaware TDMA MAC Policies for Ad Hoc Networks
Medium Access Control (MAC) policies in which the scheduling time slots are allocated irrespectively of the underline topology are suitable for ad-hoc networks, where nodes can enter, leave or move inside the network at any time. Topology-unaware MAC policies, that allocate slots deterministically or probabilistically have been proposed in the past and evaluated under heavy traffic assumptions....
متن کاملDecomposition results for general polling systems and their applications
In this paper we derive decomposition results for the number of customers in polling systems under arbitrary (dynamic) polling order and service policies. Furthermore, we obtain sharper decomposition results for both the number of customers in the system and the waiting times under static polling policies. Our analysis, which is based on distributional laws, relaxes the Poisson assumption that ...
متن کاملParallel Scheduling of Multiclass M/M/m Queues: Approximate and Heavy-Traffic Optimization of Achievable Performance
We address the problem of scheduling a multiclass M/M/m queue with Bernoulli feedback on m parallel servers to minimize time-average linear holding costs. We analyze the performance of a heuristic priority-index rule, which extends Klimov’s optimal solution to the singleserver case: servers select preemptively customers with larger Klimov indices. We present closed-form suboptimality bounds (ap...
متن کاملAsymptotic performance of queue length based network control policies
In a communication network, asymptotic quality of service metrics specify the probability that the delay or buffer occupancy becomes large. An understanding of these metrics is essential for providing worst-case delay guarantees, provisioning buffer sizes in networks, and to estimate the frequency of packet-drops due to buffer overflow. Second, many network control tasks utilize queue length in...
