We analyze 20 large sets of actual variable-bit-rate (VBR) video data, generated by a variety
of different codecs and representing a wide range of different scenes. Performing extensive …

In this paper, we show how to utilize the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm for
efficient and numerical stable parameter estimation of the batch Markovian arrival process …

There is much experimental evidence that network traffic processes exhibit ubiquitous
properties of self-similarity and long-range dependence, ie, of correlations over a wide …

The authors examine the transport and storage of video compressed with a variable bit rate
(VBR). They focus primarily on networked video, although they also briefly consider other …

In networks that support quality of service, an admission control algorithm determines
whether or not a new traffic flow can be admitted to the network such that all users will …

Queueing analysis is a vital tool used in the evaluation of system performance. Applications
of queueing analysis cover a wide spectrum from bank automated teller machines to …

Next generation wireless code division multiple access (CDMA) networks are required to
support packet multimedia traffic. This paper addresses the connection admission control …

This paper proposes a parameter fitting procedure using Markov Modulated Poisson
Processes (MMPPs) that leads to accurate estimates of queuing behavior for network traffic …

Heterogeneous network traffic possesses diverse statistical properties which include
complex temporal correlation and non-Gaussian distributions. A challenge to modeling …

Variable bit rate (VBR) compressed video is expected to become one of the major loading
factors in high-speed packet networks such as ATM-based B-ISDN. However, recent …
