Traffic model for wireless mesh networks by statistical networks calculus

Abstract

In accordance with the characteristics of wireless mesh networks（WMN） and statistical network calculus theory,a novel traffic model for evaluating single and multinodes in WMN was proposed.The model fully illustrated the stochastic characteristic of WMN with the property that the input-output relation and sum functions of this model were bounded by a min-plus convolution function.Theoretical analysis proves that the novel traffic model correctly describes the actual situation of the WMN.
