On the Effects of the Initial Condition in State Estimation for Discrete-Time Linear Systems
(1992)
We consider the one-step prediction problem for discrete-time linear systems in correlated Gaussian white plant and observation noises, and non-Gaussian initial conditions. Explicit representations are obtained for the ...
On an Elementary Characterization of the Increasing Covex Ordering, with an Application
(1993)
In this short note, we present a simple characterization of the increasing convex ordering icx on the set of probability distributions on IR. We show its usefulness by providing a very short proof of a comparison result ...
IEEE 1355-Based Architecture for an ATM Switch: A Case for Onboard Switching and Processing
(1995)
The recent evolution of the communication scenario has profound implications for the role of communication satellites within the communication infrastructure. Indeed, it raises the possibility that the satellite be viewed ...
Stochastic Control of Handoffs in Cellular Networks
(1994)
A Dynamic Programming formulation is used to obtain an optimal strategy for the handoff problem in cellular radio systems. The formulation includes the modeling of the underlying randomness in received signal strengths as ...
Report on Selected Standardization Activities of the IEEE BASC and of the ATM Forum
(1995)
This document describes the standardization activities which were performed during the first year period of the joint project named ﲁ Standardization and Research Project on an ATM/B-ISDN Switching Fabric System that is ...
Distributed Parallelism Considered Harmful
(1992)
We consider a model of a distributed parallel processing system that shows that parallel versus sequential processing is beneficial only under conditions of light load. Our results are valid under general assumptions on ...
Tail Probabilities for M|G|input Processes (I): Preliminary Asymptotics
(1996)
The infinite server model of Cox with arbitrary service time distribution appears to provide a very large class of traffic models - Pareto and log-normal distributions have already been reported in the literature for several ...
Buffer Overflow Probabilities for a Multiplexer with Self- Similar Traffic
(1995)
We study the large buffer asymptotics of a multiplexer under two different self-similar traffic inputs, namely the so-called M G model of Cox and the fractional Gaussian noise input model. In the former case we show that ...
OPNET Simulation Model of the ALAX
(1995)
When this project wsa undertaken, the ALAX system was designed but was not built yet. Because it was too complicated for us to easily predict the detailed behavior of the system before we built it, we decided to use the ...
On Stochastic Approximations Driven by Sample Averages: Convergence Results via the ODE Method
(1994)
We consider a class of projected stochastic approximation algorithms drive by sample averages. These algorithms arise naturally in problems of on-line parametric optimization for discrete event dynamical systems., e.g., ...
