This book is an introduction to Markov chain modeling with applications to communication
networks. It begins with a general introduction to performance modeling in Chapter 1 where …

This textbook provides an introduction to common methods of performance modeling and
analysis of communication systems. These methods form the basis of traffic engineering …

Traffic management (TM) mechanisms such as Call Admission Control (CAC), Scheduling,
and Buffer Management (BM) play a key role in the design of multi-service wireless network …

A cellular hierarchical network with heterogeneous traffic is considered, where calls with
shorter (longer) average call-holding time are assigned to the associated lower (upper) …

With the increasing popularity of wireless communication systems, customers are expecting
the same level of service, availability, and performance from the wireless communication …

A considerable amount of efforts needs to be devoted to performance modeling and analysis

Second Edition of this now-classic text provides a current and thorough treatment of …

A new queue, referred to here as the HetSigma queue, in the Markovian framework, is
proposed in order to model nodes in modern telecommunication networks. The queue has …

We propose new strategies for call degradation and call admission in a third generation
multimedia wireless network. Our approach is based on modeling the quality-of-service …
