TLDR
For buffer-aided tandem networks consisting of relay nodes and multiple channels per hop, two traffic allocation schemes are considered, namely local allocation and global allocation, and the end-to-end latency of a file transfer is investigated, providing insights for designing multi-hop mm-wave networks with lowend latency.Abstract:
For buffer-aided tandem networks consisting of relay nodes and multiple channels per hop, we consider two traffic allocation schemes, namely local allocation and global allocation, and investigate the end-to-end latency of a file transfer. We formulate the problem for generic multi-hop queuing systems and subsequently derive closed-form expressions of the end-to-end latency. We quantify the advantages of the global allocation scheme relative to its local allocation counterpart, and we conduct an asymptotic analysis on the performance gain when the number of channels in each hops increases to infinity. The traffic allocations and the analytical delay performance are validated through simulations. Furthermore, taking a specific two-hop network with millimeter-wave (mm-wave) as an example, we derive lower bounds on the average end-to-end latency, where Nakagami- $m$ fading is considered. Numerical results demonstrate that, compared with the local allocation scheme, the advantage of global allocation grows as the number of relay nodes increases, at the expense of higher complexity that linearly increases with the number of relay nodes. It is also demonstrated that a proper deployment of relay nodes in a linear mm-wave network plays an important role in reducing the average end-to-end latency, and the average latency decays as the mm-wave channels become more deterministic. These findings provide insights for designing multi-hop mm-wave networks with low end-to-end latency.read more
