We present a complete analysis of delays for a tandem network of queues with deterministic service and multiple, interfering sources. The model is of a packet-based data collection system consisting of some finite, but arbitrary, number of stations connected in tandem by a unidirectional, asynchronous transmission network. Packets, or, more generally, tasks enter the system at every station, are handed from station to station in store-and-forward fashion, and exit at the downstream end; there…

Tandem queues with deterministic service times

The joint queue length process at all queues is studied in detail for the 2-queue and 3-queue cases, and an approach to the case of an arbitrary number of queues in series is outlined.

Reduction of a polling network to a single node

An arbitrary tree network of polling servers is reduced to a much simpler system of one node, while preserving the mean end-to-end delay of type i packets.

Equivalent Models and Analysis for Multi-Stage Tree Networks of Deterministic Service Time Queues

This paper presents a method for analyzing packet occupancy in multi-stage tree systems without making any assumptions about the nature of the underlying input processes, and develops an expression for first Moments of queue occupancy in terms of first moments of a simple 1-stage equiva- lent model.

Equivalent models for queueing analysis of deterministic service time tree networks

The feedforward tree networks of queues serving fixed-length packets are analyzed and are shown to exhibit a natural traffic smoothing property, where preliminary stages act to smooth or improve traffic for downstream nodes.

A tandem of discrete-time queues with arrivals and departures at each stage

An approximate analysis of the occupancy and busy-period distributions of each stage based on a General Busy-period with batches and Memoryless (geometric) Idle period renewal Process (GBMIP) provides improved performance over two-state Markov approximations and gives exact results when there are no interstage departures.

Two Discrete-Time Queues in Tandem

A Two-Fold Tandem Net with Deterministic Links and Source Interference

The problem is to quantify the effect of flow interference on waiting-times in a two-fold tandem network of queues with deterministic servers and two Poisson sources, and an approximation technique is described.

A SEQUENCE OF SERVICE STATIONS WITH ARBITRARY INPUT AND REGULAR SERVICE TIMES

The case where each station consists of the same number of servers in parallel and the service times at all servers belonging to one station are the same is investigated and properties enable one to obtain waiting time distributions and other characteristics of such queuing processes.

Reduction Methods for Tandem Queuing Systems

It follows that certain steady-state and time-and customer-dependent problems for the system and for its stages can for any interarrival distribution be reduced to corresponding problems for a system of fewer stages, possibly a single stage.
