Perturbation Analysis and Feedback Control of Communication Networks Using Stochastic Hybrid Models
Communication networks may be abstracted through Stochastic Fluid Models (SFM) with the node dynamics described by switched flow equations as various events take place, thus giving rise to hybrid automaton models with stochastic transitions. The inclusion of feedback mechanisms complicates these dynamics. In a tandem setting, a typical feedback mechanism is the control of a node processing rate...
متن کاملA New Paradigm for On-line Management of Communication Networks with Multiplicative Feedback Control
We describe the use of Stochastic Flow Models (SFMs) for control and optimization (rather than performance analysis) of computer networks. After reviewing earlier work applying Infinitesimal Perturbation Analysis (IPA) to SFMs without feedback or with additive feedback, we consider systems operating with a multiplicative feedback control mechanism. Using IPA, we derive gradient estimators for l...
متن کاملPerturbation analysis for online control and optimization of stochastic fluid models
This paper uses stochastic fluid models (SFMs) for control and optimization (rather than performance analysis) of communication networks, focusing on problems of buffer control. We derive gradient estimators for packet loss and workload related performance metrics with respect to threshold parameters. These estimators are shown to be unbiased and directly observable from a sample path without a...
متن کاملBuffer Control Techniques for QoS Provisioning in Wireless Networks
This chapter introduces the network buffer control techniques as a mean to provide QoS. This problem has been extensively studied in the context of wirelined networks; however, the proliferation of wireless networks and the introduction of multimedia applications has significantly changed the characteristics of the traffic mix that flows on the network. The objective of this chapter is to creat...
متن کاملHybrid discrete-continuous fluid-flow simulation
The fluid-flow paradigm is an alternative approach to the traditional queueing paradigm, where workload movement in a network is described in terms of a fluid metaphor rather than the familiar customer metaphor. Stochastic fluid network models can considerably speed up the simulation of complex flow networks, such as high-speed packet-based telecommunications networks, where traditional queuein...
