Large deviations for arrivals, departures, and overflow in some queues of interacting traffic Conference Paper uri icon

abstract

  • The theory of large deviations provides a mechanism with which to characterize the statistical properties of traffic arriving at a buffer. The paper aims to apply a calculus of entropy to treat classes of queueing problems involving traffic of different priorities. It is shown that traffic with lower service priority experiences a varying service rate and it takes the service unused by traffic of a higher service. The techniques enable the authors to characterize the unused bandwidth available.
