Jeremiah F. Hayes (Author), Thimma V. J. Ganesh Babu (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0471348457 | ISBN-13: 978-0471348450 | Publication Date: February 23, 2004 | Edition: 1

This book covers at an advanced level mathematical methods for analysis of telecommunication networks. The book concentrates on various call models used in telecommunications such as quality of service (QoS) in packet-switched Internet Protocol (IP) networks, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM). Professionals, researchers, and graduate and advanced undergraduate students of telecommunications will benefit from this invaluable guidebook.

An Instructor's Manual presenting detailed solutions to all the problems in the book is available online from the Wiley editorial department.

An Instructor Support FTP site is also available.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This new book by Hayes and Ganesh Babu brings new life to an old 'academic' topic...the book satisfies all requirements to become a landmark..." (IEEE Network, March 2005)

"This very well-written book is a good mixture of classic and advanced material…I believe that it will become the standard reference." (Computing Reviews.com, August 13, 2004)

From the Back Cover

A timely and relevant analysis of today's complex callmodels
In today's world of ever-expanding telecommunications options, here is anadvanced-level text that covers the mathematical methods used in the analysisof modern telecom networks, with emphasis on a variety of call models such asquality of service (QoS) in packet-switched Internet Protocol (IP) networks,Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), and Time Division Multiplexing (TDM). Theauthors move from basic principles to complex concepts and outline thefundamental steps toward modeling and analyzing each system. Illustrativenumerical examples are carried out using three computational tools, Excel,Matlab®, and Maple.

Refined and class tested for more than five years, Modelingand Analysis of Telecommunications Networks will benefit telecom researchers,students, and professionals alike, with thorough coverage that includes:

• Plentiful numerical examples that illustrate the material covered and utilize the tools described
• Complex concepts supported by extensive computations and detailed derivations
• Analytical work complemented by a chapter presenting mathematical foundations of simulation
• A complementary Web site with computational software that will be regularly updated with new examples and exercises
