multiple-access-queue

Matlab code to simulate the behavior of multiple sources being served by a single server.

Two methods for dealing with multiple sources

• TDMA: Allocate time slots that alternate sources. The server will only serve the source that currently has the time slot.
• FDMA: Split up the queue and server such that each source has a separate queue and is being served independently, but at half the rate.

TODO (unordered):

• source 1 can be served anytime / priority -> possible for TDMA

• Limit queue size

• linear regression find optimal slot duration and optimal lambda ?

    - age should be at its minimum [prediction curve, how does the average data change]
  

• Slot durations proportional to individual arrival rates

• limiting the source size -> possible for FDMA

• 3 users/ scale up the number of sources

• Double buffer to limit arrival rates

• Slot duration as inverse of arrival rate

• Look at how avg age changes with simulation time

• metric: avergae wait time? elapsed time? avergae age? average wait?

• metric: each packets waiting in the queue

• metric: how long packet stay in the queue
