Abstract

The current work reveals the fine tuning between stability zones and randomness of GI/M/1 Pointwise Stationary Fluid Flow Approximation (PSFFA) model of the non-stationary D/M/1 queueing system. More specifically, this clearly provides more insights into developing a contemporary PSFFA theory that unifies non-stationary queueing theory with chaos theory and fields in both theoretical physics and chaotic systems. This opens new grounds for stability analysis of non-stationary queueing systems. A notable application of GI/M/1 queueing model to achieve ultra-low latency of autonomous driving service is highlighted. Concluding remarks associated with future avenues of research are given.

1. Introduction

Day-to-day queues include time varying arrival process of customers, which is interpreted by its variance- based nature on the time of day. This can be caused by factors like failure of network resources or non-stationary input loads. These bursty and non-stationary in character networks’ traffic as communication networks become more complicated with fluctuating data speeds and quality of service needs. Queuing theory deals with analyzing and understanding waiting times in various scenarios, such as waiting for service in banks or supermarkets, waiting for a response from computers, waiting for failures to occur, or waiting for public transport.

Simulation techniques in the context of queueing systems involve tracking the behavior of the system through repeated execution of the simulation and averaging relevant quantities over different runs at specific time points. By collecting data at various time instants, the system’s Behavior can be evaluated over time[1].

In analytical transient investigations, transform techniques are commonly employed to solve differential/difference equation models that arise from an embedded Markov process/chain. These techniques help in analyzing the behaviour of the system over time by transforming the equations into a more manageable form, facilitating the study of transient phenomena in queueing systems.

This paper’s road map is: PSFFA theory is overviewed in section 2. In section 3, the

G I / M / 1

Queueing Model is discussed in more details. In section 4, ρ- threshold of the non-stationary

D / M / 1

queue’s

G I / M / 1

PSFFA model of the is revealed. In section 5, typical numerical experiments to evidence the derived analytic results against the numerical portraits. A notable application of

G I / M / 1

queueing model to achieve ultra-low latency of autonomous driving service is highlighted in section 6 Closing remarks combined with the next phase of research are highlighted in Section 7.

2. PSFFA

The PSFFA is a simulation technique that uses a single non-linear differential equation to estimate the queue’s average number of users. An equation’s form based on steady-state queueing relationships is obtained by this revolutionary approach to provide advantages in terms of generality, simplicity, and computational efficiency. Moreover, these methods have potential applications in developing dynamic network control mechanisms[1].

Think about a queueing system for a single server that has a non-stationary arrival process.

μ (t)

and

λ (t)

serve as the time-dependent average queue service and arrival rates, respectively.The system’s ensemble average time-dependent state variable is referred to as

x (t),

x^{.} (t) = \frac{d x (t)}{d t}

. Define

f_{i n} (t)

and

f_{o u t} (t)

respectively, to be the system’s time-dependent flow into and out. Notably,

x^{.} (t),

f_{i n} (t)

and

f_{o u t} (t)

are related by:

x^{.} (t) = - f_{o u t} (t) + f_{i n} (t)

(1)

Consequently,

f_{o u t} (t) = μ (t) ρ (t)

(2)

Here

ρ (t)

defines the underlying queue’s server utilization.

For an infinite queue waiting space is infinite,

f_{i n} (t) = λ (t)

(3)

Equation (1)‘s fluid flow model becomes:

x^{.} (t) = - μ (t) ρ (t) + λ (t), 1 > ρ (t) = \frac{λ (t)}{μ (t)} > 0

(4)

Setting

x^{.} (t) =

0, implies

x = G_{1} (ρ)

(5)

Additonally, we assume the numerical invertibility of

G_{1} (ρ)

, namely

ρ = G_{1}^{- 1} (x)

(6)

Equationally, PSFFA rewrites to:

x^{.} (t) = - μ (t) (G_{1}^{- 1} (x (t))) + λ (t)

(7)

Notably, (7) is extremely general in nature, since the closed form represention of

G_{1}

can be computed for many queues. However, we can numerically or by data of an existing system’s fitting curve calculate

G_{1} .

3. The $G I / M / 1$ Queueing Model

This section discusses the

G I / M / 1

queueing model, in which the service time has an exponential distribution, and the inter-arrival process has an identical distribution with successive inter-arrival periods. Let

A (t)

stand for the distribution of inter-arrival times. The

G I / M / 1

queue’s steady state probability for the number of customers a new arrival finds in the system is a geometric distribution:

π_{n} = (1 - σ) σ^{n}

(8)

σ

(

1 > σ > 0)

uniquely solves:

σ = f_{a}^{*} (s) |_{s = μ (1 - σ)}

(9)

where

f_{a}^{*} (s)

is the Laplace-Stieltjes transform of the inter-arrival time distribution

A (t)

, that is:

f_{a}^{*} (s) = L^{*} (A (t)) = \int_{0}^{\infty} e^{- s t} d A (t)

(10)

Notably,

σ = 1

solves (9),

a n d t h e s t a t e v a r i a b l e

x

reads as:

x = \frac{λ}{μ (1 - σ)} = \frac{ρ}{(1 - σ)}

(11)

In determining the PSFFA model, equation (11) re-writes to

ρ (t) = x (t) μ (1 - σ (t))

(12)

We believe that the non-stationary load will exhibit sinusoidal mean behaviour, which will describe the cyclic load pattern over a specified time period (for example, day) in accordance with the prior research on non-stationary analysis of communication networks[2,3,4,5,6], namely

λ (t) = A + B s i n (w t + D),

for more details see[7,8,9].

Thus, the required model reads as:

x^{.} (t) = μ x (t) (1 - σ (t)) + λ (t)

(13)

We can numerically solve (15) to visualize the queue’s time varying behaviour.

Depending on the inter-arrival distribution

A (t),

the precise process for figuring out will vary, although it usually involves a root-finding approach like Laguerre’s method. The time varying

D / M / 1

queue’s

G I / M / 1

PSFFA model reads:

x^{.} (t) = - μ x (t) (1 - σ (t)) + λ (t), σ (t) = e^{\frac{(σ (t) - 1)}{ρ (t)}}

(14)

ρ (t) = t i m e - dependent server utilization = \frac{λ (t)}{μ}

The

D / M / 1

case in equation (16) corresponds to a deterministic arrival process where the inter-arrival distribution

A (t)

is a delta function (i.e.,

d A (t) = f_{a} (t) d t a n d f_{a} (t) = δ (t - \frac{1}{λ})

)

Mastering the increasability(decreasability) for a function,

f (x)

, a shorthand note reads:

f^{'} > 0 ⟺ f ↑ f^{'} < 0 ⟺ f ↓

In a more tangible form, we can visualize Figure 1(c.f., [10]).

4. The $ρ -$ Theshold Theory of $t h e N o n - S t a t i o n a r y t h e D / M / 1$ $Q u e u e G I / M / 1$ PSFFA Model

Theorem 1.The time-dependent server utilization,

ρ (t)

(c.f., (14)) is forever increasing in

σ (t) (σ (t) \in (0,1))

Proof. Let the time-dependent root parameter,

σ (t) b e s u c h t h a t 1 > σ (t) > 0

. By (16), it follows that:

ρ (t) = \frac{λ (t)}{μ} = \frac{(σ (t) - 1)}{l n (σ (t))}

(15)

We have

\frac{\partial ρ}{\partial σ} = \frac{l n σ - 1 + \frac{1}{σ}}{{(l n σ)}^{2}}

(16)

Following mathematical analysis(c.f., [11]),

1 - \frac{1}{σ} < l n σ < σ - 1

(17)

Communicating (16), and (17), the result follows.

We can see that:

and

5. Typical Numerical Experiments

It is observed from Figure 2 and Figure 3 , that the time-dependent root parameter,

σ (t)

has a significant impact on the underlying queue’s stability, by directly impacting the time- dependent server utilization,

ρ (t)

. Touching upon stability, it can be seen that

σ (t)

acts as a cutting-edge fine tuning to either approaching a high traffic intensity zone, corresponding to

ρ (t) = 1 .

Figure 2. Theshold visibility in stability zone and reaching High Traffic Intensity region(

ρ (t) = 1) .

Figure 2. Theshold visibility in stability zone and reaching High Traffic Intensity region(

ρ (t) = 1) .

Figure 3. Theshold visibility beyond High Traffic Intensity region(

ρ (t) > 1) .

Figure 3. Theshold visibility beyond High Traffic Intensity region(

ρ (t) > 1) .

Moreover, the progressive increase of

σ (t)

, will steer the whole system into a randomness zone, corresponding to

ρ (t) > 1 .

It can be easily verified that the numerical setup is validating the obtained analytic results of Theorem 1.

6. 𝑮𝑰/𝑴/𝟏- Based Ultra-Low Latency of Autonomous Driving Service

The investigation on how 5G networks are anticipated to accommodate different network services with varying performance criteria, such as high-rate traffic, low latency, and high reliability, was conducted by the authors of [12]. New technologies including network functions virtualization (NFV), network slicing, and software-defined networking (SDN) are being implemented to satisfy these expectations. By combining fog, edge, and cloud computing with network slicing to map autonomous driving functionalities into service slices, these technologies will help build a distributed and scalable SDN core network architecture that will ultimately improve transmission efficiency and meet low latency constraints. The goal is to improve the quality of service for autonomous driving applications.

The global system manager in an autonomous driving system [12] plays a crucial role by overseeing three main functions: driving mode management, which includes manual, run, and pause modes; fault management system, which monitors module statuses for safe driving; and emergency response to system faults or operator interventions to ensure the safety and efficiency of the autonomous vehicle operations. These functions are essential for maintaining the operational integrity and safety of the autonomous driving system by managing driving modes, monitoring module statuses, and responding to emergencies effectively. Moreover, this describes a 5G-enabled scalable SDN core network architecture for autonomous driving systems[12], emphasizing the importance of ultra-low latency and high reliability. It introduces the concept of a global system management service implemented as a service slice to meet the stringent requirements of autonomous driving modes, ensuring efficient operation and safety through features like fail-safe mechanisms and human-machine interfaces displaying critical vehicle information, as shown by Figure 4 (c.f., [12]).

Accordingly, the authors[12] provided a simulation-based assessment of their system with a particular emphasis on SliceScal and the 5G slicing model for driverless vehicles. They evaluate the system’s performance in a realistic urban setting using the network simulator NS-3, the cars traffic simulator Veins-SUMO, and the OpenFlow SDN controller, considering elements like vehicle dispersion, radio propagation, and latency management in autonomous driving resource slicing. The evaluation platform and algorithm developed aim to optimize resource allocation and latency handling for autonomous driving services in a dynamic urban environment.

Figure 5 (c.f., [12]) offers a visual description for handling latency of autonomous vehicle service requests in different scenarios involving service slicing and a slice management algorithm. It shows that as the density of autonomous vehicles(Avs) increases, the handling latency also increases. The use of service slicing reduces the handling latency by 60%, and the SliceMan algorithm further reduces it by 90% compared to scenarios without service slicing, demonstrating the effectiveness of managing resources for service slices in improving latency.
