Book Stochastic Modeling and Analysis of Telecom Networks

Download or read book Stochastic Modeling and Analysis of Telecom Networks written by Laurent Decreusefond and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-12-27 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book addresses the stochastic modeling of telecommunication networks, introducing the main mathematical tools for that purpose, such as Markov processes, real and spatial point processes and stochastic recursions, and presenting a wide list of results on stability, performances and comparison of systems. The authors propose a comprehensive mathematical construction of the foundations of stochastic network theory: Markov chains, continuous time Markov chains are extensively studied using an original martingale-based approach. A complete presentation of stochastic recursions from an ergodic theoretical perspective is also provided, as well as spatial point processes. Using these basic tools, stability criteria, performance measures and comparison principles are obtained for a wide class of models, from the canonical M/M/1 and G/G/1 queues to more sophisticated systems, including the current “hot topics” of spatial radio networking, OFDMA and real-time networks.

Book Fundamentals of Stochastic Networks

Download or read book Fundamentals of Stochastic Networks written by Oliver C. Ibe and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-08-24 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An interdisciplinary approach to understanding queueing and graphical networks In today's era of interdisciplinary studies and research activities, network models are becoming increasingly important in various areas where they have not regularly been used. Combining techniques from stochastic processes and graph theory to analyze the behavior of networks, Fundamentals of Stochastic Networks provides an interdisciplinary approach by including practical applications of these stochastic networks in various fields of study, from engineering and operations management to communications and the physical sciences. The author uniquely unites different types of stochastic, queueing, and graphical networks that are typically studied independently of each other. With balanced coverage, the book is organized into three succinct parts: Part I introduces basic concepts in probability and stochastic processes, with coverage on counting, Poisson, renewal, and Markov processes Part II addresses basic queueing theory, with a focus on Markovian queueing systems and also explores advanced queueing theory, queueing networks, and approximations of queueing networks Part III focuses on graphical models, presenting an introduction to graph theory along with Bayesian, Boolean, and random networks The author presents the material in a self-contained style that helps readers apply the presented methods and techniques to science and engineering applications. Numerous practical examples are also provided throughout, including all related mathematical details. Featuring basic results without heavy emphasis on proving theorems, Fundamentals of Stochastic Networks is a suitable book for courses on probability and stochastic networks, stochastic network calculus, and stochastic network optimization at the upper-undergraduate and graduate levels. The book also serves as a reference for researchers and network professionals who would like to learn more about the general principles of stochastic networks.

Book A Study of Interacting Stochastic Networks

Download or read book A Study of Interacting Stochastic Networks written by Wen Sun and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This PhD document is devoted to the analyses of large stochastic networks used to study mathematical models in communication networks and in biology. The first part consists of the analysis of three models used to evaluate the efficiency of duplication and placement algorithms in large distributed systems. These models are represented by large stochastic networks under different scaling regimes assumptions. In Chapter 2, the dynamic of the system can be described with the empirical measure associated to a multi-dimensional transient Markov process. We provide a detailed study of these processes on several fast time scales. Stochastic averaging principles with multiple time scales are investigated in particular. In Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, the interactions have unbounded jump sizes and occur within a limited random set of nodes. We develop a convenient mean field analysis in despite that the associated empirical measures do not have autonomous evolution equations. We also study the long time behavior of the corresponding limiting nonlinear jump diffusions. The second part analyzes two models used to study the variability in the polymerization phenomena occurring in a biological context. In Chapter 5, we investigate the polymerization and fragmentation processes with an assumption of critical nucleus size. A scaling analysis of these stochastic models show that the sharp phase transition and, especially the large variance, observed in the experiments can be explained by these models. In Chapter 6, we provide a functional central limit theorem in the classical (infinite dimensional) stochastic Becker-Döring model.

Book Performance Modeling of Communication Networks with Markov Chains

Download or read book Performance Modeling of Communication Networks with Markov Chains written by Jeonghoon Mo and published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers. This book was released on 2010-09-09 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 we introduce different performance models. We then introduce basic ideas of Markov chain modeling: Markov property, discrete time Markov chain (DTMC) and continuous time Markov chain (CTMC). We also discuss how to find the steady state distributions from these Markov chains and how they can be used to compute the system performance metric. The solution methodologies include a balance equation technique, limiting probability technique, and the uniformization. We try to minimize the theoretical aspects of the Markov chain so that the book is easily accessible to readers without deep mathematical backgrounds. We then introduce how to develop a Markov chain model with simple applications: a forwarding system, a cellular system blocking, slotted ALOHA, Wi-Fi model, and multichannel based LAN model. The examples cover CTMC, DTMC, birth-death process and non birth-death process. We then introduce more difficult examples in Chapter 4, which are related to wireless LAN networks: the Bianchi model and Multi-Channel MAC model with fixed duration. These models are more advanced than those introduced in Chapter 3 because they require more advanced concepts such as renewal-reward theorem and the queueing network model. We introduce these concepts in the appendix as needed so that readers can follow them without difficulty. We hope that this textbook will be helpful to students, researchers, and network practitioners who want to understand and use mathematical modeling techniques.

Book Evolutionary Dynamics of Complex Communications Networks

Download or read book Evolutionary Dynamics of Complex Communications Networks written by Vasileios Karyotis and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-10-14 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Until recently, most network design techniques employed a bottom-up approach with lower protocol layer mechanisms affecting the development of higher ones. This approach, however, has not yielded fascinating results in the case of wireless distributed networks. Addressing the emerging aspects of modern network analysis and design, Evolutionary Dynamics of Complex Communications Networks introduces and develops a top-bottom approach where elements of the higher layer can be exploited in modifying the lowest physical topology—closing the network design loop in an evolutionary fashion similar to that observed in natural processes. This book provides a complete overview of contemporary design approaches from the viewpoint of network science and complex/social network analysis. A significant part of the text focuses on the classification and analysis of various network modification mechanisms for wireless decentralized networks that exploit social features from relevant online social networks. Each chapter begins with learning objectives and introductory material and slowly builds to more detailed analysis and advanced concepts. Each chapter also identifies open issues, while by the end of the book, potential research directions are summarized for the more interested researcher or graduate student. The approach outlined in the book will help network designers and administrators increase the value of their infrastructure without requiring any significant additional investment. Topics covered include: basic network graph models and properties, cognitive methods and evolutionary computing, complex and social network analysis metrics and features, and analysis and development of the distinctive structure and features of complex networks. Considering all aspects of modern network analysis and design, the text covers the necessary material and background to make it a suitable source of reference for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and scientists
