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 …

Call admission control schemes: A review - IEEE Communications Magazine Page 1
ABSTRACT Over the last few years, a substantial number of call admission control (CAC) …

Provides a modern mathematical approach to the design of communication networks for
graduate students, blending control, optimization, and stochastic network theories. A broad …

An increasing number of high performance internetworking protocol routers, LAN and
asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switches use a switched backplane based on a crossbar …

Providing performance guarantees is one of the most important issues for future
telecommunication networks. This book describes theoretical developments in performance …

We present two types of stability problems: 1) conditions for queueing networks that render
bounded queue lengths and bounded delay for customers, and 2) conditions for queueing …

We analyze 20 large sets of actual variable-bit-rate (VBR) video data, generated by a variety
of different codecs and representing a wide range of different scenes. Performing extensive …

Network calculus is a theory dealing with queuing systems found in computer networks. Its
focus is on performance guarantees. Central to the theory is the use of alternate algebras …

This paper presents a personal view of work to date on e ective bandwidths, emphasising
the unifying role of the concept: as a summary of the statistical characteristics of sources …

We propose a quality-of-service (QoS) driven power and rate adaptation scheme over
wireless links in mobile wireless networks. Specifically, our proposed scheme aims at …
