Abstract

An on-off process is a 0-1 process ξt in which consecutive 0-periods T0,n alternate with 1-periods T1,n(n=1,2,). The on and off time sequences are independent, each consisting of i.i.d. r.v.s. By the superposed flow, we mean the process Zt=Σ=1Nrξt, where r>0 and ξt1,,ξtN are independent on-off flows. The process ξt is not Markovian; however, with the age component ηt, the process wt=(ξt,ηt) is a piecewise deterministic Markov process. In this paper we study the buffer content process for which the tail of its steady-state distribution Ψ(b) fulfills inequality Ce\gammabΨ(b)C+e\gammab,where\gamma > 0$ is the solution of some basic nonlinear system of equations.
