Description

For the first time the problems of voice
services self-similarity are discussed systematically and in detail with
specific examples and illustrations.
Self-Similar Processes in Telecommunications considers the
self-similar (fractal and multifractal) models of telecommunication traffic
and efficiency based on the assumption that its traffic has fractal or
multifractal properties (is self-similar).  The theoretical aspects of
the most well-known traffic models demonstrating self-similar properties are
discussed in detail and the comparative analysis of the different models’
efficiency for self-similar traffic is presented.
This book demonstrates how to use self-similar processes for designing new
telecommunications systems and optimizing existing networks so as to achieve
maximum efficiency and serviceability. The approach is rooted in theory,
describing the algorithms (the logical arithmetical or computational
procedures that define how a task is performed) for modeling these
self-similar processes. However, the language and ideas are essentially
accessible for those who have a general knowledge of the subject area and the
advice is highly practical: all models, problems and solutions are illustrated
throughout using numerous real-world examples.

Adopts a detailed, theoretical, yet broad-based and practical
mathematical approach for designing and operating numerous types of
telecommunications systems and networks so as to achieve maximum efficiency
Places the subject in context, describing the current algorithms that
make up the fractal or self-similar processes while pointing to the future
development of the technology
Offers a comparative analysis of the different types of self-similar
process usage within the context of local area networks, wide area networks
and in the modeling of video traffic and mobile communications networks
Describes how mathematical models are used as a basis for building
numerous types of network, including voice, audio, data, video, multimedia
services and IP (Internet Protocol) telephony
The book will appeal to the wide range of specialists dealing with the
design and exploitation of telecommunication systems. It will be useful for
the post-graduate students, lecturers and researchers connected with
communication networks disciplines.
