This paper studies modeling approach of MPEG-4 VBR video traffic based on multifractal
multiplicative model. Multiscale analysis reveals that the multiplier distribution is different in …

In this paper we propose a framework to classify and compare existing video traffic models.
The classification is performed according to the statistics which the models intend to fit: first …

Recently, a number of empirical studies have demonstrated the existence of long-range
dependence (LRD) or self-similarity in VBR video traffic. Since previous LRD models cannot …

To guarantee quality of service (QoS) in future integrated service networks, traffic sources
must be characterized to capture the traffic characteristics relevant to network performance …

Presents a view to the mathematical background of self-similarity with its different definitions
and its relation to long-range dependence (LRD). Comparison between short-range …

Recently it has been reported that variable bit rate (VBR) video traffic exhibits long-range
dependence (LRD). Various processes have been proposed for modeling traffic with LRD …

In this chapter we present an overview of resource management in multi-service networks.
The starting point is a network consisting of a set of nodes, interconnected by links according …

We clarify in a consistent mathematical way the relationship between the well-known long-
range dependence and self-similarity in its different appearances namely the exact second …

Humans perceive sounds and images differently and therefore different priorities should be
used regarding transport of sounds and images [29]. The ear can be modelled and …

The convergence of communication services into a single network technology is a trend long
expected, for reasons from economy of scale to flexibility and resource optimization. Since …
