Modeling and Performance Analysis of Priority Queuing Systems

The paper presents the results of modeling and analysis of data performance on systems that support QoS (Quality of Service). In order to evaluate the performance of the modeled systems used were TPN (Timed Petri Nets). Studied were mechanisms of traffic shaping systems based on PQS (Priority Queuing System). Tested was the impact of the mechanism of generating traffic using TPN. Moreover, discussed were the basic mechanisms and queuing systems occurring in QoS structures. It is shown that models can be effectively used in the modeling and analysis of the performance of computer systems

Performance analysis of subband-level channel quality indicator feedback scheme of LTE

Frequency-domain scheduling and rate adaptation enable next generation wireless cellular systems such as Long Term Evolution (LTE) to achieve significantly higher downlink throughput. LTE assigns subcarriers in chunks, called physical resource blocks (PRBs), to users to reduce control signaling overhead. To reduce the enormous feedback overhead, the channel quality indicator (CQI) report that is used to feed back channel state information is averaged over a subband, which, in turn, is a group of multiple PRBs. In this paper, we develop closed-form expressions for the throughput achieved by the subband-level CQI feedback mechanism of LTE. We show that the coarse frequency resolution of the CQI incurs a significant loss in throughput and limits the multi-user gains achievable by the system. We then show that the performance can be improved by means of an offset mechanism that effectively makes the users more conservative in reporting their CQI
