Analysis of tandem fluid queues
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider a model consisting of two fluid queues driven by the same background continuous-time Markov chain, such that the rates of change of the fluid in the second queue depend on whether the first queue is empty or not. We analyse this tandem model using operator-analytic methods.

Using Fluid Queues to Model Energy Storage and Distribution
Energy storage and distribution is an increasingly important problem as renewable (and generally unreliable) energy sources supply more of our power needs. In this extended abstract we consider a simple network of energy suppliers, consumers and buffers modelled as fluid queues. Analytical evaluation of networks of fluid queues is hard as even tandem networks do no have a product form solution....
متن کاملStationary Analysis of Tandem Fluid Queues Fed by Homogeneous On-off Sources
We consider a fluid system composed of multiple buffers in series. The first buffer receives fluid from a finite superposition of independent identical on-off sources. The active and silent periods of sources are exponentially distributed. The ith buffer releases fluid in the (i + 1)th buffer. Assuming that the input rate of one source is greater than the service rate of the first buffer, the o...
متن کاملOn tandem blocking queues with a common retrial queue
We consider systems of tandem blocking queues having a common retrial queue. The model represents dynamics of short TCP transfers in the Internet. Analytical results are available only for a specific example with two queues in tandem. We propose approximation procedures involving simple analytic expressions, based on mean value analysis (MVA) and on fixed point approach (FPA). The mean sojourn ...
متن کاملAnalysis and Approximation of Dual Tandem Queues with Finite Buffer Capacity
Tandem queues with finite buffer capacity commonly exist in practical applications. By viewing a tandem queue as an integrated system, an innovative approach has been developed to analyze its performance through the insight from Friedman's reduction method. Fundamental properties of tandem queues with finite buffer capacity are examined. We show that in general system service rate of a dual tan...
متن کاملA spectral theory approach for extreme value analysis in a tandem of fluid queues
We consider a model for to evaluate performance of streaming media over an unreliable network. Our model consists of a tandem of two fluid queues. The first fluid queue is a Markov Modulated fluid queue that models the network congestion, and the second queue represents the play-out buffer. For this model the distribution of the total amount of fluid in the congestion and play-out buffer corres...
