Effective Bandwidths for a Class of Non Markovian Fluid Sources

摘要

This paper proves the existence of and explicitly determines effective bandwidths for a class of non Markovian fluid source models, featuring multiple data-transmission rates and ar- bitrary distributions for the times these rates are sustained. The investigated models cover considerably more traffic pro- files than the usual Markovian counterparts and have re- duced state-space requirements. The effective bandwidth, as a function of the asymptotic loss probability decay rate, is implicitly derivable by the requirement that the spectral radius of an appropriate nonnegative matrix be equal to unity.
