Most of the real queuing systems include special properties and constraints, which can not be analyzed directly by using the results of solved classical queuing models. Lack of Markov chains features, unexponential patterns and service constraints, are the mentioned conditions. This paper represents an applied general algorithm for analysis and optimizing the queuing systems. The algorithm stag...

It is not an easy task to write a book on queuing networks when a large number of books in the topic have already been published. The authors have written a very timely book on queuing networks which can be used by people working in the area of communication networks. The basics of stochastic process have been discussed in Chapter 1 with queuing networks being introduced in Chapter 2 where the ...

Based on queuing theory we develop analytical approximations for the average packet transfer time of a store-and-forward and a cutthrough buffer insertion ring with two client traffic priorities. These types of rings are architectural alternatives for resilient packet rings (RPR) which transport data (e.g., IP) packets over optical media. We use the approximations for a delay comparison of both...

Queuing is the common activity of customers or people to avail the desired service, which could be processed or distributed one at a time. Bank ATMs would avoid losing their customers due to a long wait on the line. The bank initially provides one ATM in every branch. But, one ATM would not serve a purpose when customers withdraw to use ATM and try to use other bank ATM. Thus the service time n...

The application of Queuing Theory to quantify the relationships between trajectory uncertainties due to aviation operations, precision of navigation and control, and traffic flow efficiency in the National Airspace System is discussed. This work builds on a previous research effort on Markovian queuing network models of the NAS. While the Markovian network model provides closed-form analytical ...

This paper presents a problem of queuing theoretic performance modeling and analysis of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) under broad-band wireless networks. We consider a single-cell WiMAX environment in which the base station allocates sub channels to the subscriber stations in its coverage area. The sub channels allocated to a subscriber station are shared by multiple con...

Purpose Each production process in construction is closely connected with the question of costs and deadlines. In every project an investor or customer, as well as the construction company, has to meet the planned completion date and the estimated costs associated with the construction. In practice, determining the duration of construction at minimum costs is still not based on the reliable cal...
