A comprehensive study in
efficient multi-rate teletraffic loss models used for designing,
performance analysis, and optimization of systems and networks
Efficient Multirate Teletraffic Loss Models Beyond Erlang is
an easy-to-read book filled with numerous efficient teletraffic loss
models. Presented in three sections—Teletraffic Models of Random Input,
Teletraffic Models of Quasi-Random Input, and Teletraffic Models of
Batched Poisson Input—it covers everything that a professional
experienced with optimization and dimensioning of telecom networks could
ever need to know.
This unique book provides a detailed
explanation on how efficient multirate teletraffic loss models are
extracted and applied, and guides readers through almost all network
technologies and services. Starting from the basics, it steadily
increases in difficulty to keep the book self-contained and to provide a
better understanding to those who might be new to the subject. It
includes detailed explanations of the complex teletraffic models—many of
which were developed by the authors. Tutorial examples, several backed
by supplementary software, are accompanied by intermediate results and
figures. Additionally, end-of-chapter applications describe the
applicability of the models to modern network technologies, updating the
incorporated teletraffic models of commercial packages/tools.
- Uses
the classic EMLM (Erlang Multirate Loss Model) as its base to present a
comprehensive range of teletraffic models through detailed explanation
and numerical examples
- Filled with the authors’ own original teletraffic models—making for a wholly unique learning experience
- Offers a clear, self-contained presentation with a beginning, middle, and end
- Starts with simple models, then moves to more complex models, before finishing with complicated ones
- Supplemented by an accompanying website with computer implementation of the most important models
Directed primarily at telecommunication engineers, Efficient Multirate Teletraffic Loss Models Beyond Erlang is
also useful for telecom operators or managers on the higher and average
levels, as well a Ph.D. students, researchers, and modelers.
