This book is concerned exclusively with discrete-time queues and
their applications to the performance modeling of communication and
computer networks. Since most modern networks operate on the basis
of time slotting, and transmit information in fixed length (packets
or cells), it thus becomes natural to model such networks in
discrete-time by associating a time slot in a physical network with
the unit time in the corresponding discrete-time model. The book
shows how, in this way, very accurate models that faithfully
reproduce the stochastic behaviour of a communication or computer
network can be constructed.
The treatment is self contained, and progresses from basic
probability theory and discrete-time queueing networks. These
latter are applied to model the performance of numerous wide area
satellite networks and local area networks, ranging in complexity
from simple Aloha schemes to the timed token protocol of the FDDI
network. The main objective of this book is to present a unified
method for modeling any network access protocol as a discrete-time
queueing network and t develop efficient solution techniques for
these models. A significant number of the models and their
solutions which are included have not previously appeared in the
open literature.
The text should prove useful to practitioners and researchers
concerned with communication and computer network performance
modeling, or anyone wanting a sound understanding of the
application of discrete-time technique to this subject area.
