Queuing Theory Based Co-Channel Interference Analysis Approach for High-Density Wireless Local Area Networks

Abstract

Increased co-channel interference (CCI) in wireless local area networks (WLANs) is bringing serious resource constraints to today’s high-density wireless environments. CCI in IEEE 802.11-based networks is inevitable due to the nature of the carrier sensing mechanism however can be reduced by resource optimization approaches. That means the CCI analysis is basic, but also crucial for an efficient resource management. In this article, we present a novel CCI analysis approach based on the queuing theory, which considers the randomness of end users’ behavior and the irregularity and complexity of network traffic in high-density WLANs that adopts the M/M/c queuing model for CCI analysis. Most of the CCIs occur when multiple networks overlap and trigger channel contentions; therefore, we use the ratio of signal-overlapped areas to signal coverage as a probabilistic factor to the queuing model to analyze the CCI impacts in highly overlapped WLANs. With the queuing model, we perform simulations to see how the CCI influences the quality of service (QoS) in high-density WLANs.

Simulation Model for Blockchain Systems Using Queuing Theory

“…Several models of queuing systems are represented by Kendall's notation to classify system types and their queuing events. All types of representations are described using three factors, i.e., A/S/c, where A is the arrival, S is the size of the job and c is the number of serving stations [46]. Popular alternative notations are M/M/c, and in rest of the paper, we will be using this nomenclature.…”

A Method for Analyzing the Impact of Intra-System and Inter-System Interference on DME Based on Queueing Theory

“…According to [11], the probability of customers serviced Q can be calculated as follows: Q=μλi2t+μ=1λi2t·()τm_i+td+1 where the density of interrogation pulse-stream λi2t=P()J·λi is subject to P()J, Q is condition probability. The subsequent customer cannot affect the front service in a normal M/D/1/0 theory model; however, if the subsequent interrogation pulse overlaps with the front interrogation pulse before it enters into a transponder, the front interrogation pulse will be abandoned too, which is different from a normal birth-and-death model.…”

“…Dead time is generated by the receiving of front desired signals, but it affects the receiving of subsequent signals since they are thought to be interfered if their arrival times overlap with dead time; however, it is too difficult to judge easily which one of the subsequent signals is in the dead time. Owing to the similarity between the receiving of signal and queueing process, queueing theory is often applied to analyze the characteristics of communication [11,12,13]. This paper developed a mathematical model for calculating collision probability between desired signal and intra-system interference based on M/M/1/0 queueing theory model, thus, the collision probability between dead time and subsequent pulse signals is calculated accurately even if the pulse-stream density is high, and consequently intra-system interference can be analyzed accurately.…”

Investigation of Media Access Control in Wireless Networks

“…Existing wireless medium access mechanisms that are unchanged from the early IEEE 802.11 introduction, are not able to cope with increased interference over unlicensed bands and became outdated (Chatzimisios et al 2004;Baid et al 2015;Zhang et al 2016). One of the factors is a scarce spectrum of unlicensed bands, since only limited amount of frequencies are available for usage.…”
