This book addresses the stochastic modeling of telecommunicationnetworks, introducing the main mathematical tools for that purpose,such as Markov processes, real and spatial point processes andstochastic recursions, and presenting a wide list of results onstability, performances and comparison of systems.
The authors propose a comprehensive mathematical construction ofthe foundations of stochastic network theory: Markov chains,continuous time Markov chains are extensively studied using anoriginal martingale-based approach. A complete presentation ofstochastic recursions from an ergodic theoretical perspective isalso provided, as well as spatial point processes.
Using these basic tools, stability criteria, performance measuresand comparison principles are obtained for a wide class of models,from the canonical M/M/1 and G/G/1 queues to more sophisticatedsystems, including the current "hot topics" of spatialradio networking, OFDMA and real-time networks.
