This model does not account for packet loss and the consequent retransmission. However, it computes distributions of the number of packets of each type in the trunk buffer and the corresponding memory requirements, which can be used to estimate the probability of packet loss for a given buffer size. The model uses closed queuing analysis with simple approximations to account for the constraints imposed by window flow control. Some results derived from the model are presented and compared with those obtained through simulation. The analytical model can deal with the buffer sizing problem for high-speed trunks which can carry thousands of virtual circuits. It is demonstrated that with proper system sizing and management, network resources can be efficiently utilized.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":191242,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, - Spanning the Universe.","volume":"157 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115912270","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These models are implemented in hardware using computer control. The effect of fading is demonstrated using speech as the test signal. For the Rayleigh fading model, it is found that, when the automatic gain control (AGC) of the receiver is off, the received signal fades as in real-life transmission. When the AGC is on, the effect of fading is not noticeable most of the times but the noise level goes up when fading occurs, as expected. When the fading is severe, it is found that AGC cannot totally compensate for the fading; this is also expected. Other models are tested in a similar manner and yield expected results.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":191242,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, - Spanning the Universe.","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114981085","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Circuit- and packet-switched traffic, both voice and data, share the network resources using a movable boundary scheme. The problem is to determine how two different kinds of traffic should be routed in a single network. It appears impossible to develop the optimum algorithm which finds the global optimum routes. This is because the objective function adopted, a weighted sum of blocking probability and time delay, is not convex with respect to the flows. Hence, a simple algorithm which can find a good solution is proposed. Using the algorithm, case studies have been carried out to check whether voice and data take the same paths, or whether they have their own set of paths. The numerical results indicate that voice and data should take the same paths to realize tolerable performance of blocking probability and time delay.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":191242,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Conference on Communications, - Spanning the Universe.","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116486505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 34 Mb/s laboratory breadboard was used to evaluate the performance of each detector. The best performance was obtained with the PFDs derived from the polar phase detector.
