Abstract
Quality of Service (QoS) is of extreme importance in accommodating the increasingly diverse range of services and types of traffic in present day communication networks and delay is one of the most important QoS metrics. This paper presents a new approach for constraining queueing delay in a buffer to a specified level as the arrival rate changes with time. A discrete-time control algorithm is presented that operates on a buffer (queue) which incorporates a moveable threshold. An algorithm is developed that controls the delay by dynamically adjusting the threshold which, in turn, controls the arrival rate. The feasibility of the system is examined using both theoretical analysis and simulation.
