Aim: To practice the application of mathematical methods and models based on probability theory for performance evaluation of telecommunication and data communication systems. This includes both telephone exchanges and networks, as well as computer systems and networks. Furthermore, to introduce principles of optimisation as a tool in solving planning and decision problems for these systems
Contents: Introduction. Man-machine systems: Structure, strategy and user requirements. The modelling process. Basic traffic process. Basic traffic concepts.
The stochastic elements of the traffic process: Time distributions and arrival processes. Birth and Death processes. Concept of statistical equilibrium.
Telephone systems: Loss systems with full availability. Erlang, Engset and Pascal traffic. Integrated service systems with multi-rate traffic. Limited availability and overflow theory. Switching networks.
Data systems: The Erlang delay system. Machine repair model. Multi-dimensional delay systems. Queueing models for computer systems. Queueing networks.
Traffic measurements. Dimensioning principles. Moe's principle. Network planning. In connection with the exercises numerical problems will be solved on computers, and there are excursions to various telecommunication systems.
