Abstract
The goal of this chapter is to demonstrate the usefulness of analytical and numerical methods of stochastic control theory in the design, analysis and control of telecommunication networks. The emphasis will be concentrated on the heavy traffic approach for queueing type systems in which there is little idle time and the queue length processes can be approximated by reected diffusion processes under suitable scaling. Three principal problems are considered: the multiplexer system, controlled admission in multiserver systems such as ISDN, and the polling or scheduling problem.
