Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modeling and Analysis of Local Area Networks fills a void in the array of books on Local Area Networks (LANs) in that it reviews the state of LAN technology from a hardware and software perspective, develops a set of metrics that can be used to evaluate LANs for end applications, and investigates methodologies for evaluating LANs from these perspectives. The book discusses LAN evaluation techniques utilizing analysis, operational analysis, hardware testbeds, and simulations. Simulations will be stressed in greater detail and a tool available for evaluating LANs performance (called MALAN) is presented and the details of its structure developed.

This book was released on 2013-03-08 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In large measure the traditional concern of communications engineers has been the conveyance of voice signals. The most prominent example is the telephone network, in which the techniques used for transmission multiplex ing and switching have been designed for voice signals. However, one of the many effects of computers has been the growing volume of the sort of traffic that flows in networks composed of user terminals, processors, and peripherals. The characteristics of this data traffic and the associated perfor mance requirements are quite different from those of voice traffic. These differences, coupled with burgeoning digital technology, have engendered a whole new set of approaches to multiplexing and switching this traffic. The new techniques are the province of what has been loosely called computer communications networks. The subject of this book is the mathematical modeling and analysis of computer communications networks, that is to say, the multiplexing and switching techniques that have been developed for data traffic. The basis for many of the models that we shall consider is queueing theory, although a number of other disciplines are drawn on as well. The level at which this material is covered is that of a first-year graduate course. It is assumed that at the outset the student has had a good undergraduate course in probability and random processes of the sort that are more and more common among electrical engineering and computer science departments.

Download or read book Simulation of Local Area Networks written by Matthew N. O. Sadiku and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fast-growing area in the communications industry is the internetworking of an ever-increasing proliferation of computers, particularly via local area networks (LANs). The LAN is a resource-sharing data communications network being used by many offices to interchange information such as electronic mail, word processing, and files among computers and other devices. This unique book shows the user how to establish the performance characteristics of a LAN before putting it to use in a particular type of situation. Simulation of Local Area Networks consists of eight chapters, each with its own extensive list of references. The first chapter provides a brief review of local area networks, and the second chapter gives the analytical models of popular LANs-token-passing bus and ring networks, CSMA/CD LANs, and star networks. Chapter 3 covers general principles of simulation, and Chapter 4 discusses fundamental concepts in probability and statistics relating to simulation modeling. Materials in Chapters 3 and 4 are specifically applied in developing simulation models on token-passing LANs, CSMA/CD LANs, and star LANs in Chapters 5 through 7. The computer code in Chapters 5, 6, and 7 is divided into segments, and a detailed explanation of each segment is provided. The last chapter reviews special-purpose languages such as GPSS, SIMSCRIPT, GASP, SIMULA, SLAM, and RESQ. Helpful criteria for language selection are included. The entire code is put together in the appendixes. This book has two major advantages over existing texts. First, it uses C, a well-developed general-purpose language that is familiar to most analysts. Second, the text specifically applies the simulation principles to local area networks. No other book available shows the systems analyst how to evaluate the performance of existing or proposed systems under different kinds of conditions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Local Area Networks (LANs) play a larger role in our lives today than ever before. For example, LANs provide us with the capability to realize automated banking services, with instant credit checking and numerous other diverse access and manipulation services. Users and developers of LAN products must understand the architecture of the hardware and software mechanisms to effectively design and use such systems. Most gains in LAN productivity will come from future software developments in systems management and applications. This book provides an introduction to the technology associated with Local Area Networks, emphasizing software aspects which have been secondary considerations to hardware in most existing texts. The book also provides a review of the technology needed to realize full service software products, such as computer-aided design and manufacturing systems, large publication systems, and integrated data service networks, and includes an exhaustive review of the products available today.

Download or read book Local Area Network LAN Simulation and Analysis written by Jaime E. Salazar and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Local Area Network (LAN) technology and the processing power of many of the components that make up the network are continuously changing. This includes the transmission medium, workstations, network elements (hubs, switches, bridges, routers, etc.), application software and protocols. Usually, network growth (evolution) and maintenance are performed in an ad-hoc manner; adding a workstation here and there, and hoping there is no network degradation or hoping that changes being made to the network will fix whatever ails it. Having a good understanding of how the network currently functions and establishing guidelines for adding components to the network should prevent network degradation. As is the case with many designs and products, predicting the behavior of a system (architecture) before it is deployed is desirable because it reduces the probability of problems seen by the customer. This philosophy applies to LAN architectures too. Modeling and simulation of a network architecture before it is deployed or changed can save an organization time and money. Modeling and simulation will provide an understanding of network functionality and allows for establishing guidelines for when, how, and where changes to a network should be applied."--Author's Abstract.

This book was released on 1998-12-01 with total page 101 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research to improve the performance of the IEEE 802.11 has been ongoing since 1990. The focus of this research has investigated the use of the MAC and Physical layers for improving throughput. An adaptive MAC protocol, CATER (Code Adapts To Enhance Reliability) is based on the proposed MAC standard for wireless local area networks (WLAN)-802. 11. IEEE 802.11 uses a fixed Pseudo-Noise (PN) code for spreading the information signal, implying a fixed process gain at the receiver. When the channel degrades, IEEE 802.11 offers only retransmissions at the MAC layer to contend with the corrupted medium. However, CATER allows communicating stations to reconfigure their transceivers to use a longer PN code after a prescribed number of failed retransmissions. The longer PN code increases the process gain of the receiver and reduces the error rate. This thesis analyzes the performance of CATER as changing the factor: Start (the number of transmission before the channel is reconfigured) and Max (additional frame transmissions during reconfigure), PN code length, the number of station, and implementing Forward Error Correction (FEC). CATER provides better throughput for smaller Start and larger Max at a high bit error rate (10-3). When CATER uses a PN code length of 63, the throughput is increased by 101 percent at high bit error rate (BER). However, 802.11 is better than CATER at low BER ( 10-3).
