Abstract
Reviewed were the mathematical methods that are used to investigate the polling systems which found wide application in modeling and design of various transport and industrial processes. Emphasis was made on the models of polling systems used to investigate the wireless broadband networks. The polling systems were classified; presented were stochastic models and methods of investigating discrete-time and continuous-time systems, systems with cyclic, periodic, and random queue polling, as well as the methods of their optimization.Keywords
