Let a and s denote the inter arrival times and service times in a GI/GI/1 queue. Let a (n), s (n) be the r.v.s, with distributions as the estimated distributions of a and s from iid samples of a and...

Stability and continuity of polling systems (1994)

Sharma, Vinod

The stability of a polling system with exhaustive service and a finite number of users, each with infinite buffers is considered. The arrival process is more general than a Poisson process and the...

Open queueing networks in discrete time- some limit theorems (1993)

Sharma, Vinod

A finite number of nodes, each with a single server and infinite buffers, is considered in discrete time. The service may be FIFO and the service times are constant. The external arrivals and the...

A Hybrid access protocol for multiple access satelite communications network (1991)

Sharma, Vinod, Prathima, BV

A new hybrid protocol for multiple access in satellite communication is proposed. Its stability is proved under general stationary assumptions. Also, we show the continuity of the system...

Stability of multiple access communication networks (1990)

Sharma, Vinod

The problem of stability of different multiple access schemes in computer networks is discussed. The results for the main multiple access schemes -slotted ALOHA, controlled ALOHA, CSMA, CSMA/CD,...

Probabilistic modeling (1987)

Munish Goyal, Vinod Sharma, Anurag Kumar

Abstract- In this work we seek optimal transmission policies for multiaccess fading channels with AWGN, under a network layer quality of service constraint. We consider M unbuffered variable bit rate...

Paradoxical Loss of Excitation with High Intensity Pulses during Electric Field Stimulation of Single Cardiac Cells

Sharma, Vinod, Susil, Robert C., Tung, Leslie

Transmembrane potential responses of single cardiac cells stimulated at rest were studied with uniform rectangular field pulses having durations of 0.5–10 ms. Cells were enzymatically isolated from...

Spatial heterogeneity of transmembrane potential responses of single guinea-pig cardiac cells during electric field stimulation

Sharma, Vinod, Tung, Leslie

Changes in transmembrane voltage (Vm) of cardiac cells during electric field stimulation have a complex spatial- and time-dependent behaviour that differs significantly from electrical stimulation of...
