Delay Performance and Mixing Times in Random-Access Networks
Niek Bouman, Sem Borst, Johan van Leeuwaarden
We explore the achievable delay performance in wireless random-access networks. While relatively simple and inherently distributed in nature, suitably designed queue-based random-a…
Queues with random back-offs
Niek Bouman, Sem C. Borst, Onno J. Boxma +1
We consider a broad class of queueing models with random state-dependent vacation periods, which arise in the analysis of queue-based back-off algorithms in wireless random-access…
Lingering Issues in Distributed Scheduling
Florian Simatos, Niek Bouman, Sem Borst
Recent advances have resulted in queue-based algorithms for medium access control which operate in a distributed fashion, and yet achieve the optimal throughput performance of cent…
Energy minimisation of repelling particles on a toric grid
Niek Bouman, Jan Draisma, Johan van Leeuwaarden
We explore the minimum energy configurations of repelling particles distributed over n possible locations forming a toric grid. We conjecture that the most energy-efficient way to…
Stability of Random Admissible-Set Scheduling in Spatially Continuous Wireless Systems
Niek Bouman, Sem Borst, Johan van Leeuwaarden
We examine the stability of wireless networks whose users are distributed over a compact space. A subset of users is called {\it admissible} when their simultaneous activity obeys…
