Insensitive Traffic Models for Communication Networks

Traffic Models for Wireless Communication Networks

In this paper, we introduce a deterministic fluid model and two stochastic traffic models for wireless networks. The setting is a highway with multiple entrances and exits. Vehicles are classified as calling or non-calling, depending on whether they have calls in progress. The deterministic model ignores the behavior of individual vehicles and treats them as a continuous fluid, whereas the stoc...

Insensitive Traffic Splitting in Data Networks

Bonald et al. have studied insensitivity in data networks assuming a fixed route for each flow class. If capacity allocation and routing are balanced and the capacity of a given class is shared equally between the flows, the network state distribution and flow level performance are insensitive to any detailed traffic characteristics except the traffic loads. In this paper, we consider optimal i...

An Insensitive Product Form for Discrete-Time Communication Networks

Discrete-time communication networks are studied as due to digital transmissions. Simultaneous multiple transmission requests and completions as well as blocking are hereby involved. Scheduling times and packet lengths are allowed to have a general discrete distribution. A discrete-time product form result is obtained for the steady-state busy source distribution. Particularly, this form is sho...

Traffic Models in Broadband Networks

0163-6804/97/$10.00 © 1997 IEEE he need for telecommunication networks capable of providing diverse and emerging communication services such as data, voice, and video, motivated the standardization of broadband networks. The need for a flexible design that can accommodate future services and advances in technology led International Consultative Committee for Telephone and Telegraph (CCITT) to a...
