Performance Modeling of Communication Networks with Markov Chains

Delve into the intricate world of communication networks with Performance Modeling of Communication Networks with Markov Chains by Jeonghoon Mo. Published by Springer International Publishing AG in 2010, this insightful paperback spans 80 pages and serves as an essential guide for anyone interested in the application of Markov chains in network performance modeling.

This book introduces the foundational concepts of Markov chain modeling, including the Markov property, discrete time Markov chains (DTMC), and continuous time Markov chains (CTMC). Mo expertly guides readers through the development of Markov chain models, showcasing practical applications in various systems such as forwarding systems, cellular system blocking, slotted ALOHA, Wi-Fi models, and multichannel-based LAN models.

Whether you are a student, researcher, or professional in the field, this book provides a comprehensive understanding of how to effectively model communication networks using Markov chains.
