In this article, we present a new queuing network model for the analysis of a portion of a radio access network (RAN) comprising macro cell base stations (BSs) and small cell BSs offering “streaming” and “elastic” services. Streaming services require a ...

In queueing networks, product-form solutions are of fundamental importance to efficiently compute performance metrics in complex models of computer systems. The product-form property entails that the steady-state probabilities of the joint stochastic ...
