Calculation of Blocking Probabilities and Dimensioning of Multicast Networks

摘要

This thesis is a study on mathematical models for calculating blocking211u001eprobabilities and dimensioning of multicast networks. Multicasting is a bandwidth 211u001esaving transmission technique designed for group applications such as video 211u001econferencing. The transmission reaches many different end-users without a 211u001eseparate connection required for each user. Due to this characteristic, 211u001econventional blocking probability analysis of loss networks has to be modified. 211u001eThe study derives a new algorithm for calculating blocking probabilities in 211u001edynamic multicast networks.
