Subject Description

On completion of this subject, the students should; understand the principles of queuing theory; be able to use queuing theory models to analyse the traffic performance of circuit-switched and packet-switched telecommunications and computer-communication networks.

The content includes; Review of basic queuing models: M/M/1, M/M/2, M/M/· and M/M/n/n. Queuing theory models: M/G/1 queue, GI/1 queue, Discrete-time queuing models. Network Models: Equivalent random method, Erlang fixed- point methods. Packet switched networks: Kleinrock independence assumption, capacity assignment and flow assignment, end to end delays, flow control, Networks of queues. Local Area networks: Random access models, Poling models. Advanced communications networks: Modelling of B-ISDN networks.

Assessment
