Multipath Redundant Real-Time Transmission with the Destruction of Expired Packets in Intermediate Nodes

Abstract

The possibilities of increasing the probability of timely service and reducing the average waiting time for requests for machine-to-machine exchange in distributed computer systems are investigated. Improving the reliability, timeliness and error-free transmission in automated distributed control systems focused on intelligent and cognitive methods of data and image analysis is fundamental in their real-time operation. The effect is achieved as a result of the reserved multipath transfers of packets critical to delays, at which their replication is provided with a task for each replica of the path (route) of sequential passage of network nodes. An analytical model is proposed for estimating the probability of timely delivery and the average total waiting time in the queues of route nodes with reserved and non-reserved packet transmission. The communication nodes that make up the data transmission route are represented by single-channel queuing systems with an infinite queue. The influence of the multiplicity of redundancy (replication) of transmissions on the probability of their timely maintenance is analyzed. The condition for the success of reserved transfers is that the accumulated total waiting in the queues of nodes that make up the path for at least one of the replicas of the packet should not exceed the given maximum allowed time. The efficiency of destroying expired packets in the intermediate nodes that make up the data transmission paths is shown. The existence of an optimal redundancy multiplicity critical to the total delay in the queues of packets is shown.
