Abstract :
A regeneration-based approach is undertaken to derive an expression for the expected value of total service time for an arbitrary customer distribution when scheduling is performed in a distributed queuing system. The service times and the transfer delays for customers in the shared communication medium are both considered random. The theory is applied to a distributed wireless-sensor network and the interplay between the total service time and the energy consumption of each sensor is investigated.
