Abstract

We study two new cyclic reservation schemes for the efficient operation of systems consisting of a single server and multiple queues. The schemes are the Globally Gated regime and the Cyclic-Reservation Multiple-Access (CRMA). Both procedures possess mechanisms for prioritizing the queues and lend themselves to a closed-form analysis. The combination of these two properties allows for effective and efficient operation of the systems, for which we provide a thorough delay analysis and derive simple rules for optimal operation.
