There is an extensive literature on retrial queueing models. While a majority of the literature on retrial queueing models focuses on the retrial times to be exponentially distributed (so as to keep the state space to be of a reasonable size), a few papers deal with nonexponential retrial times but with some additional restrictions such as constant retrial rate, only the customer at the head of the retrial queue will attempt to capture a free server, 2-state phase type distribution, and finite retrial orbit. Generally, the retrial queueing models are analyzed as level-dependent queues and hence one has to use some type of a truncation method in performing the analysis of the model. In this paper we study a retrial queueing model with threshold-type policy for orbiting customers in the context of nonexponential retrial times. Using matrix-analytic methods we analyze the model and compare with the classical retrial queueing model through a few illustrative numerical examples. We also compare numerically our threshold retrial queueing model with a previously published retrial queueing model that uses a truncation method.

This paper presents deterministic, worst-case analysis of a queueing system whose multiple homogeneous input streams are regulated by the associated leaky buckets and the queueing system that has a single stream regulated by the jumping-window. Queueing delay averaged over all items is used for performance measure, and the worst-case input traffic and the worst-case performance are identified for both queueing systems. For the former queueing system, the analysis explores different phase relations among leaky-bucket token generations. This paper observes how the phase differences among the leaky buckets affect the worst-case queueing performance. Then, this paper relates the worst-case performance of the former queueing system with that of the latter (the single stream case, as in the aggregate streams from many users, whose item arrivals are regulated by one jumping-window). It is shown that the worst-case performance of the latter is identical to that of the former in which all leaky buckets have the same phase and have particular leaky bucket parameters.

In this paper, we consider a queueing network model. where the population constraint within each subnetwork is controlled by a semaphore queue. The total number of customers that may be present in the subnetwork can not exceed a given value. Each node has a constant service time and the arrival process to the queueing network is an arbitrary distribution. A major characteristics of this model is that the lower layer flow is halted by the state of higher layer. We present some properties that the inter-change of nodes does not make any difference to customer's waiting time in the queueing network under a certain condition. The queueing network can be transformed into a simplified queueing network. A dramatic simplification of the queueing network is shown. It is interesting to see how the simplification developed for sliding window flow control, can be applied to multi-layered queueing network.

Packet scheduling is an essential function to guarantee a quality of service by differentiating services in the Internet. Scheduling algorithms that have been suggested so far can be devided into Round-Robin methods and Fair Queueing methods Round-Robin methods have the advantage of high-speed processing through simple implementations, while Fair Queueing methods offer accurate services. Fair queueing algorithms, however, have problems of computational overheads and implementation complexity as their schedulers manage the states of every flow. This paper suggests a new method in which each flow performs the calculation in a distributed way to decide the service order. Our algorithm significantly reduces the scheduler's computational overheads while providing the same level of accuracy with the previous Fair Queueing algorithms.

There have been some approximation analysis methods for a GI/G/1 queueing system. As one of them, an approximation technique for the steady-state probability in the GI/G/1 queueing system based on the iteration numerical calculation has been proposed. As another one, an approximation formula of the average queue length in the GI/G/1 queueing system by using the diffusion approximation or the heuristics extended diffusion approximation has been developed. In this article, an approximation technique in order to analyze the GI/G/1 queueing system is considered and then the formulae of both the steady-state probability and the average queue length in the GI/G/1 queueing system are proposed. Through some numerical examples by the proposed technique, the existing approximation methods, and the Monte Carlo simulation, the effectiveness of the proposed approximation technique is verified.

In this paper, we analyze queueing behaviors and investigate the possibilities of reducing and controlling shortages and oversupplies in the bidirectional queueing system which forms a negative queue by demand and a positive queue by supply. Interarrival times of units in the bidirectional queueing system investigated are exponetially distributed. Instant pairing off implies that queue can be either positive or negative, but not both at the same time. The results include a proof that sum of queue lengths is minimized if rates of demand and supply in each system are equal and optimum solutions for rates of supply which minimize the sum of queue lengths when rates of demand and sum of rates of supply are given. In addition, the relationship between the ordinary queueing system and the bidirectional queueing system is investigated.

In this paper, we analyze the queueing performance of cumulative distribution function (CDF)-based opportunistic scheduling over Nakagami-m Markov fading channels. We derive the formula for the average queueing delay and the queue length distribution by constructing a two-dimensional Markov chain. Using our formula, we investigate the queueing performance for various fading parameters.

The times of service commencement and service completion had been used for inferring the queueing systems. However, the service commencement times are difficult to measure because of unobservable nature in queueing systems. In this paper, for inferring queueing systems, the service commencement times are replaced for arrival times which can be easily observed. Determining the service commencement time is very important in our methods. The methods for first come first served(FCFS), last come first served(LCFS) queueing discipline are already developed in our previous work. In this paper, we extend to random selection for service(RSS) queueing discipline. The performance measures we used are mean queueing time and mean service time, the variances of two. The simulation results verify our proposed methods to infer queueing systems under RSS discipline.

In this paper, we consider the departure process from the open and nested tandem Queueing network with population constraint and constant service times. It is known that the Queueing network can be transformed into a simple Queueing network which can be easy to analyze. Using this simple Queueing network, upper and lower bounds on the interdeparture time are obtained. We prove that the variance of the interdeparture time is bounded within these two bounds. Validation against simulation data is shown that how it works the variance of the interdeparture time within two bounds. These bounds can be applied to obtain the better variance of the interdeparture time using a suitable method.

Fair queueing has been an important issue in the multimedia networks where resources are shared among nodes both wired and wireless. In most fair queuing algorithms, based on the generalized processor sharing(GPS), emphasizes fairness guarantee while overlooking bounded delay guarantee which is critical to support multimedia services in the networks. In this paper, we propose a new fair queueing scheme, delay guaranteed fair queueing (DGFQ), which guaranteeing bounded delay of flows according to their individual delay requirements for multimedia services in the wireless packet networks.
