Effective-bandwidth admission region with a voice delay gate

Assume independent stationary Compound Poisson process inputs, preemptive-resume priority for voice, first come first served within each class, capacity $C$, a shared buffer of $B$ units of work, packet sizes bounded by $s_{\max }<B$, and voice delay gate $D>0$. Write $B_0=B-s_{\max }$ and $K=CD$. For $n_v,n_d$ flows with per-flow effective bandwidths $a_v,a_d$, the continuous-time exponential workload bound givesprovided $n_v{a}_v({\theta }_T)+n_d{a}_d({\theta }_T)\le C$ and $n_v{a}_v({\theta }_V)\le C$. To prove this, couple with the unthinned infinite-buffer aggregate and voice queues driven by the same offered packets. Dropping work reduces both the total and voice workloads under this service discipline. A buffer-fit failure implies total workload greater than $B_0$, and a voice-gate failure implies voice workload at least $K$. Apply the two bounds and a union bound; Poisson arrivals see time averages converts stationary prearrival probabilities to offered-packet loss fractions. For target losses ${\ell }_d,{\ell }_v$, choose $0<{\eta }_B<\min ({\ell }_d,{\ell }_v)$ and ${\eta }_V={\ell }_v-{\eta }_B$, then setThe two effective bandwidth constraints, together with strict aggregate mean-load stability, define a sufficient integer admission region. Voice loss includes the shared-buffer term, even though data packets have lower service priority.
