Abstract-Multi-user buffer control is a closed-loop transmission strategy to ensure users buffers do not underflow or overflow. The dynamic scheme requires buffer state information and cooperation among transmitters. By altering the average arrival rate to users, the transmitters cause users' buffer levels to drift away from underflow and overflow conditions. The paper presents three schemes that suggest coordination among transmitters significantly reduces the resource requirement to ensure multi-user buffer stability.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
