This book is devoted to the generalization and systematization of the models and methods to study the cyclic polling systems and their application to design and optimize the broadband wireless networks. New polling models adequately describing the performance of the broadband wireless Wi-Fi and Wi-MAX networks with PCF are presented. We provide the definition and classification of polling systems. Much attention is given to methods for analysis and optimization of the polling systems. In addition to classical polling models, we consider the reservation schemes to poll the queues, models...
