Expected Delay Analysis of Polling Systems in Heavy Traffic
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the expected delay in a cyclic polling model with mixtures of exhaustive and gated service in heavy traffic. We obtain closed-form expressions for the mean delay under standard heavy-traffic scalings, providing new insights into the behaviour of polling systems in heavy traffic. The results lead to excellent approximations of the expected waiting times in practical heavy-load scenarios and moreover, lead to new results for optimizing the system performance with respect to the service disciplines.

Polling models with renewal arrivals: A new method to derive heavy-traffic asymptotics
We consider asymmetric cyclic polling systems with an arbitrary number of queues, general service-time distributions, zero switch-over times, gated service at each queue, and with general renewal arrival processes at each of the queues. For this classical model, we propose a new method to derive closed-form expressions for the expected delay at each of the queues when the load tends to 1, under...
متن کاملPolling systems in heavy traffic: Exhaustiveness of service policies
We study the expected delay in cyclic polling models with general ‘branching-type’ service disciplines. For this class of models, which contains models with exhaustive and gated service as special cases, we obtain closed-form expressions for the expected delay under standard heavy-traffic scalings. We identify a single parameter associated with the service discipline at each queue, which we cal...
متن کاملHeavy traffic analysis of polling models by mean value analysis
In this paper we present a new approach to derive heavy-traffic asymptotics for polling models. We consider the classical cyclic polling model with exhaustive or gated service at each queue, and with general service-time and switch-over time distributions, and study its behavior when the load tends to one. For this model, we explore the recently proposed mean value analysis (MVA), which takes a...
متن کاملPolling Models with Two-Stage Gated Service: Fairness Versus Efficiency
We consider an asymmetric cyclic polling system with general service-time and switchover time distributions with so-called two-stage gated service at each queue, an interleaving scheme that aims to enforce fairness among the different customer classes. For this model, we (1) obtain a pseudo-conservation law, (2) describe how the mean delay at each of the queues can be obtained recursively via t...
متن کاملA note on polling models with renewal arrivals and nonzero switch-over times
We consider polling systems with general service times and switch-over times, gated service at all queues and with general renewal arrival processes. We derive closed-form expressions for the expected delay in heavy-traffic (HT). So far, rigorous proofs of HT limits have only been obtained for Poisson-type arrival processes, whereas for renewal arrivals HT limits are based on conjectures [5, 6,...
