Modeling time-constrained multiple-access message transmission by generalized stochastic Petri nets

Abstract

Generalized stochastic Petri nets were used to model time-constrained message transmission over a single multiple-access channel to get the performance limits, which show the percentage of successful message transmission. These Petri net models reflect different assumptions about the laxity and length distributions of real-time messages. The results from the Petri net models are shown to agree with those from queuing system models.<>
