Description

By deploying time series analysis, Fourier transform, functional analysis, min-plus convolution, and fractional order systems and noise, this book proposes fractal traffic modeling and computations of delay bounds, aiming to improve the quality of service in computer communication networks.

As opposed to traditional studies of teletraffic delay bounds, the author proposes a novel fractional noise, the generalized fractional Gaussian noise (gfGn) approach, and introduces a new fractional noise, generalized Cauchy (GC) process for traffic modeling.

Researchers and graduates in computer science, applied statistics, and applied mathematics will find this book beneficial.
