We consider a polling system which consists of a number of queues attended by a single server. The server switches from one queue to another following a fixed cyclic order. Such a system finds a wide variety of applications ...

In this paper, we formalize the intuition that the Leaky Bucket (LB) smooths traffic. By sample path comparisons we show that the interdeparture times of the traffic through a LB are more even than the interarrival times ...

The Distributed Network Simulation Testbed is a research tool designed to aid users in the modeling and performance analysis of communication protocols. The testbed can be used to model communication networks consisting ...

In this paper, we provide an accurate analysis of the performance of coherent dense wavelength-division multiple-access (WDMA) schemes introduced for use in high-capacity optical networks. In our analysis, the effects of ...

This dissertation considers an important issue in high-speed networks - the understanding of the interaction between the network and the bursty traffic it handles. The first part of the dissertation analyzes the leaky ...

Schemes for quantization and fusion in multi-sensor systems used for discriminating between two sequences of dependent observations are introduced and analyzed. The observation sequences of each sensor under the two ...

This thesis concerns the use of optical fiber in a multi-user communication networks. specifically, it considers the use of code-division multiple access (CDMA) techniques that permit many users to share a single optical ...

In this paper we provide an accurate analysis of the performance of a random-carrier (RC) code-division multiple-access (CDMA) scheme recently introduced for use in high-capacity optical networks. According to this scheme ...

Multi-media integration of broadband services in a broadband satellite network is considered. Voice, data, video teleconferencing, and television with broad range of service (bit) rates are multiplexed through a broadband ...

The effects of multimedia data such as voice, audio, video, still-image, text, and graphics on high speed networks need to be identified for the purpose of developing efficient multimedia network designs and implementations. ...
