A new Markov-based method for real time prediction of network transmission time delays is introduced. The method considers a Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP) neural model for the transmission network, where the number of neurons in the input layer is minimized so that the required calculations are reduced and the method can be implemented in the real-time. For this purpose, the Markov process order...

Designing wireless sensor networks should meet appropriate parameters such as quality of service (QoS) defined by different users. The variable physical conditions of the environment, processing and transmission power limitations and limited communication capabilities are the most important obstacles that influence QoS parameters such as throughput, delay, reliability and network lifetime. The ...

nowadays, congestion management is one of the major tasks accomplished by system operators to warrant the operation of transmission system within operating limits. this has resulted in unanticipated congestion interfaces in regional transmission systems. the system is, however, unable to evolve at a rate which is required to meet the quickly changing demand of competitive markets. to make the m...
