Feasibility optimality of periodwise static priority policies for a quality of service model in wireless networks and convergence analysis for an online recommendation system
In the first part of this thesis, we consider a proposed Quality of Service (QoS) model in which a set of clients require their own timely-throughput from an access point, with packet deadlines restricted to be in one period. It is known that two debt-based policies, including time-based debt and …
