Abstract & Overview
We construct and investigate a mathematical model for joint servicing of real-time multiservice traffic in access networks with a hierarchical topology. The model takes into account how the arrival of claims in each flow depends on the number of users that form this flow of claims and that are being serviced. We define quality indicators for joint servicing of claims through the values of stationary probabilities in the model. We obtain relations between them that simplify their estimation. We develop an algorithm for calculating the characteristics of the model based on an implementation of the convolution algorithm. We propose a procedure for estimating the transmission rate of connecting lines in the access network needed to service incoming traffic with a given quality. We also give numerical examples that illustrate the characteristic features of implementing the developed computational procedures.
