Wireless Network Experiment Three: Queuing Theory ABSTRACT This experiment is designed to learn the fundamentals of the queuing theory
Mainly about the M/M/S and M/M/n/n queuing models
KEY WORDS: queuing theory, M/M/s, M/M/n/n, Erlang B, Erlang C
INTRODUCTION A queue is a waiting line and queueing theory is the mathematical theory of waiting lines
More generally, queueing theory is concerned with the mathematical modeling and analysis of systems that provide service to random demands
In communication networks, queues are encountered everywhere
For example, the incoming data packets are randomly arrived and buffered, waiting for the router to deliver
Such situation is considered as a queue
A queueing model is an abstract description of such a system
Typically, a queueing model repr
