They consist of two steps: A request phase in which a station reserves the communication channel and a transmission phase in which the actual data transmission takes place. Such procedures are often applied in communication networks that are characterised by a shared communication channel with large round-trip times.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn this book, we propose queuing models for situations that require a reservation procedure and validate their applicability in the context of cable networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe offer various mathematical models to better understand the performance of these reservation procedures. The book covers four key performance models, and modifications to these: Contention trees, the repairman model, the bulk service queue, and tandem queues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe relevance of this book is not limited to reservation procedures and cable networks, and performance analysts from a variety of areas may benefit, as all models have found application in other fields as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2008-08-19\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783540693161\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-540-69317-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 254\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Berlin Heidelberg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49937972527244,"sku":"9783540693161","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783540693161.jpg?v=1779042586","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783540693161","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
