In recent years service curves have proven a powerful and versatile model for performance
analysis of network elements, such as schedulers, links, and traffic shapers, up to entire …

Emerging applications of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) require real-time quality-of-
service (QoS) guarantees to be provided by the network. Due to the nondeterministic …

This paper establishes a link between two principal tools for the analysis of network traffic,
namely, effective bandwidth and network calculus. It is shown that a general version of …

Massive ultra-reliable and low latency communications (mURLLC) has emerged as new and
dominating 6G-standard services to support statistical quality-of-services (QoS) provisioning …

Wireless networks are expected to support a diverse range of quality of service requirements
and traffic characteristics. This paper undertakes stochastic performance analysis of a …

A fundamental problem for the delay and backlog analysis across multihop paths in wireless
networks is how to account for the random properties of the wireless channel. Since the …

ACM Sigcomm 2006 published a paper [26] which was perceived to unify the deterministic
and stochastic branches of the network calculus (abbreviated throughout as DNC and …

Traffic with self-similar and heavy-tailed characteristics has been widely reported in
communication networks, yet, the state-of-the-art of analytically predicting the delay …

The communication delay of train control services has a great impact on the track utilization
and speed profile of high-speed trains. This paper undertakes stochastic delay analysis of …

Network calculus is a theory dealing with queueing type problems encountered in computer
networks, with particu-lar focus on quality of service guarantee analysis. Queueing theory is …
