We assumed that the time-axis is slotted and at the end of each slot jobs are completed either partially or fully and new jobs arrive to the system according to a Poisson process during each time slot.
It is assumed that time-axis is slotted and at the end of each slot jobs makes probabilistic complete/partial release of the VMs that they are holding and there will also be new job arrivals according to a Poisson process.
The HOL delay of user m at the beginning of time slot t (or equivalently, the end of time slot (t - 1)) can be written as W H O L, m ( t ) = t T s - τ m ( A ) ( t ), where τ m ( A ) ( t ) denotes the arrival time of the HOL packet in the queue of user m.
This paper investigates plug-building or the filtration process in a long slot where a slot constriction is placed relatively far from both the "borehole" and the end of the slot.
For example, data transmission may be finished before the end of the slot, but other data transmission cannot start until the next slot.
Then, the amount of energy A t is harvested during slot t is stored into the battery at the end of the slot.
E i is the residual energy of node i at the end of time slot τ, P EH,i is the harvested energy of node i during slot τ, I is the binary indicator function and a i (j) is the event that node i receives and transmits packets, and E TX, E RX just represent the energy consumption of data transmission and reception.
Thus at the end of each slot, the workload load of the system consists of new arriving jobs during the present slot and unfinished jobs from the previous slots.
At the end of time slot, it can decode symbol as (45).
At the end of each slot, the sensors send the gathered data to the core node.
