Abstract

In this paper we consider the analysis of an M/D/1 vacation queue with periodically gated discipline. The motivation of introducing the new periodically gated discipline comes from the stochastic behavior of a kind of contention-based bandwidth reservation mechanism applied in wireless networks. The analysis utilizes a former result from polling model, which expresses the number of customers at arbitrary epoch in terms of the number of customers at start and end of vacations. The mean and the probability-generating function of the number of customers at arbitrary epoch are determined. In the last part of the paper we demonstrate the application of the model to the non real-time uplink traffic in IEEE 802.16-based wireless broadband networks.
