Masters Description
Title: The development of a performance analysis tool for broadband
wireless
networks.
Summary: The objective is to develop and
implement a performance analysis tool based upon an advanced statistical
technique known as large deviation theory (LDT). In particular, it is
intended to employ the recently developed theory of effective bandwidths
in order to accurately quantify resource usage. Many problems in admission
control and network resource dimensioning can be simplified with the use
of an accurate and unifying approach to resource usage.
The study concentrates on the application of this tool to traffic
engineering on broadband wireless networks. Traffic engineering is an
important requirement for supporting real-time services such as Voice over
IP (VoIP) and video streaming with quality of service (QoS) guarantees.
Traditional approaches based upon elaborate traffic models are inadequate
in the context of large multi-service networks carrying traffic of
different types. The approach here will be to use statistics not as a
means to fit traffic measurements to a model but rather as a tool to
directly measure a statistical property that is called the rate function
or entropy.
