Analyzing hybrid scheduling-cum polling mechanisms multiple classes of self-similar and long-range dependent traffic input.

A polling model resembles a system of multiple queues targeted in cyclic order by a single server. The characteristics of polling models show a noticeable impact with performance investigations of network-related applications. To provide guaranteed QoS to the end-user of multiservice Internet, a variety of scheduling schemes have been introduced in the market. To date, researchers have been analyzing polling models and scheduling schemes separately. Polling models have only been analyzed with Poisson traffic distributions.

In this talk we will survey polling models with realistic self-similar and long-range dependent traffic distributions. Our combination of traditional polling and common scheduling schemes offers a more promising differential treatment in terms of providing the required QoS to the various kinds of applications found in modern 4G wireless networks. The talk will address the results obtained from the analytical framework we have built by considering multiple classes of long-range dependent and self-similar traffic. The framework is based on a G/M/1 queuing system, which has been analyzed under a variety of polling mechanisms. In our study, we have combined different polling mechanism and scheduling schemes. We have built a Markov chain for G/M/1 queuing systems and extracted closed-form expressions for different QoS parameters such as delay and packet loss rate. We performed simulation experiments in C++ to validate our proposed analytical framework for evaluating the QoS parameters.
