Stability of Wireless Networks for Mode S Radar

Abstract

Stability issues in a connectionless, one-hop queueing system featuring servers with overlapping service regions (e.g., a Mode Select (Mode S) radar communications network or part of an Aeronautical Telecommunications Network (ATN) network) are considered, and a stabilizing policy is determined in closed-loop form. The cases of queues at the sources (aircraft) and queues at the servers (base stations) are considered separately. Stabilization of the system with exponential service times and Poisson arrival rates is equivalent to the solvability of a linear program, and if the system can be stabilized, a stabilizing open loop routing policy can be expressed in terms of the coefficients of the solution to the linear program. The authors solve the linear program for the case of a single class of packets.
