We present an algorithm to implement “most balancing” packet scheduling policies in a discrete-time multi-server system of parallel queues with independent random queue-server connectivity. The MB policies are characterized by minimizing the total difference in queue lengths at every time slot. The proposed algorithm produces the server allocation strategy that achieves the minimum “imbalance index”...
A stochastic control problem motivated by broadcast applications is considered in this paper. A natural queueing model abstraction in which each service to a queue clears all the customers at once is adopted, which can also be considered as a batch processing queueing model with infinite batch size. Each broadcast can be charged a non-negative cost. In addition, there is a cost whose rate is given...
In this paper we apply the Gittins optimality result to characterize the optimal scheduling discipline in a multi-class M/G/1 queue. We apply the general result to several cases of practical interest where the service time distributions belong to the set of decreasing hazard rate distributions, like Pareto or hyper-exponential. When there is only one class it is known that in this case the least attained...
