Insensitive, maximum stable allocations converge to proportional fairness

چکیده

We describe a queueing model where service is allocated as a function of queue sizes. We consider allocations policies that are insensitive to service requirements and have a maximal stability region. We take a limit where the queueing model becomes congested. We study how service is allocated under this limit. We demonstrate that the only possible limit allocation is one that maximizes a proportionally fair optimization problem.

Insensitive Bandwidth Sharing in Data Networks

We represent a data network as a set of links shared by a dynamic number of competing flows. These flows are generated within sessions and correspond to the transfer of a random volume of data on a pre-defined network route. The evolution of the stochastic process describing the number of flows on all routes, which determines the performance of the data transfers, depends on how link capacity i...

Stratified Median Ranked Set Sampling: Optimum and Proportional Allocations

In this paper, for the Stratified Median Ranked Set Sampling (SMRSS), proposed by Ibrahim et al. (2010), we examine the proportional and optimum sample allocations that are two well-known methods for sample allocation in stratified sampling. We show that the variances of the mean estimators of a symmetric population in SMRSS using optimum and proportional allocations to strata are smaller than ...

Cross-layer Packet-dependant OFDM Scheduling Based on Proportional Fairness

This paper assumes each user has more than one queue, derives a new packet-dependant proportional fairness power allocation pattern based on the sum of weight capacity and the packet’s priority in users’ queues, and proposes 4 new cross-layer packet-dependant OFDM scheduling schemes based on proportional fairness for heterogeneous classes of traffic. Scenario 1, scenario 2 and scenario 3 lead r...

Computational aspects of balanced fairness

Flow level behaviour of data networks depends on the allocation of link capacities between competing flows. It has been recently shown that there exist allocations with the property that the stationary distribution of the number of flows in progress on different routes depends only on the traffic loads on these routes and is insensitive to any detailed traffic characteristics. Balanced fairness...

On the Fairness of Rate Allocation in Gaussian Multiple Access Channel and Broadcast Channel

The capacity region of a channel consists of all achievable rate vectors. Picking a particular point in the capacity region is synonymous with rate allocation. The issue of fairness in rate allocation is addressed in this paper. We review several notions of fairness, including max-min fairness, proportional fairness and Nash bargaining solution. Their efficiencies for general multiuser channels...
