Abstract :
Queue inferencing is the estimation of the waiting times from the transactional information of a queue, i.e., from the busy periods and service times. There are similarities between queue inferencing and decoding over a timing channel in a packet communication link. We analyze the timing channel achievable rates in the queue inferencing setting for continuous time queues with vacations and for discrete time queues.
