چکیده

Polling systems have been extensively studied, and have had many applications. They have often been used for studying wired local areas networks (such as token passing rings) and wireless local area networks (such as bluetooth). In this work we relax one of the main restrictions on the statistical assumptions under which polling systems have been analyzed. Namely, we allow correlation between walking times. We consider (i) the gated regime where a gate closes whenever the server arrives at a queue. He then serves at that queue all customers who were present when the gate closes. (ii) the exhaustive service in which the server remains at a queue till it empties. Our analysis is based on stochastic recursive equations related to branching processes with migration with a random environment. In addition to our derivation of expected waiting times for polling systems with correlated vacations, we set the foundations for computing second order statistics of the general multi-dimensional stochastic recursions. Key-words: Branching processes, Polling Systems, Correlations, Second moments, Stochastic recursive equations. ∗ INRIA, BP93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis, France.

Souvent, ces systèmes sont utilisés pour étudier les réseaux locaux fixes (comme le réseau en anneau à jeton) et mobiles (comme le réseau bluetooth). Dans ce travail, on relâche une des restrictions importantes sous laquelle les systèmes de polling sont analysés: nous permettons les temps du déplacement du serveur d’être corrélés. On considère (i) les systèmes de type "gated": une porte se ferme quand le serveur arrive à la file d’attente et le serveur ne sert que les clients qui sont présents quand la porte se ferme; (ii) les systèmes exhaustifs: le serveur quitte une file d’attente quand il ne reste plus de clients dans cette file d’attente. Notre analyse se base sur la théorie des équations récursives aléatoires liées aux processus de brachement avec migration dans un environnement aléatoire. Nous calculons l’espérence des temps d’attente pour les systèmes de polling et nous fournissons les fondations pour le calcul des statistiques du second ordre des récusions aléatoires multidimensionnelles. Mots-clés : Processus de branchement, Système de polling, Corrélation, deuxième moment, Equations stochastiques récursives. in ria -0 00 80 48 4, v er si on 2 20 J un 2 00 6 Polling with correlated vacations 3

Expected waiting time in symmetric polling systems with correlated walking times

Polling systems have been extensively studied, and have found many applications.

In this contribution we relax one of the main restrictions on the statistical assumptions under which polling systems have been analyzed. Namely, we allow correlation betw...

When Does Forced Idle Time Improve Performance in Polling Models?

Sarkar and Zangwill (1991) showed by numerical examples that reduction in setup times can, surprisingly, actually increase work in process in some cyclic production systems (that is, reduction in switchover times can increase waiting times in some polling models). We present, for polling models with exhaustive and gated service disciplines, some explicit formulas that provide additional insight...

Analysis of infinite servers polling systems with correlated input process and state dependent vacations

This paper is concerned mainly with the stochastic modeling and performance evaluation of a generic in®nite servers polling system. We assume that the in®nite number of servers are coupled together and that they visit the queues as one processing unit. That is, we are considering a system where all the servers go on vacation and arrive at any queue simultaneously as a synchronized unit. The ord...

Optimal Open-Loop Control of Vacations, Polling and Service Assignment

We consider in this paper the optimal open-loop control of vacations in queueing systems. The controller has to take actions without state information. We rst consider the case of a single queue, in which the question is when should vacations be taken so as to minimize, in some general sense, workloads and waiting times. We then consider the case of several queues, in which service of one queue...

Waiting Time Variance in Polling Systems

In this paper, we develop a general expression for the second moment of waiting time for polling systems with either an exhaustive or gated service policy. We obtain a closed form expression for the second moment of waiting time for the special case of systems with two identical stations. This result is used to show that the behavior of the first two moments can be very different. Specifically,...
