Multiscale Analysis for Wireless LAN Traffic Characterization
Abstract
In this survey paper, we overview the various network traffic
models, especially focusing on the multiscale analysis.
By multiscale analysis we mean wavelet-based self-similar and
multifractal analysis.
Multiscale analysis is advantageous in that it can reveal the scaling
behavior of the traffic on large time scale, at the same time
characterize small-scale irregularity.
We also discuss how we can apply this analysis technique to wireless
LAN traffic characterization.
