the Metro Ethernet Forum has defined a set of Ethernet Virtual Connection services that are adopted to provide scalable Ethernet transport for mobile backhaul. However, these services usually address single cell site backhaul per UNI handoff, not considering statistical multiplexing gain at a hub site which aggregates backhaul traffics of multiple cell sites backhaul pipe.

Based on the single-leg air cargo issues, we establish a dynamic programming model to consider the overbooking and space inventory control problem.We analyze the structure of optimal booking policy for every kind of booking requests and show that the optimal booking decision is of threshold type known as booking limit policy . Our research provides a theoretical support for the air cargo space ...
