Communication Networks--The center of the information revolution High performance networks are revolutionizing our lives in ways we cannot yet fully perceive. Meet your evolving needs with this in-depth presentation of emerging technologies used to build high speed, high performance communication networks. Authoritatively written, it explains how the converging telephone, data, and CATV technologies are combined into high performance networks, and how to plan, manage, and control these networks. An essential guide for networking professionals This book is well suited for a variety of networking needs. It enables network specialists and system administrators to make informed decisions for implementing and maintaining their companies' networks. It supplies network hardware and software developers with the tools to develop networking solutions, and it provides students in electrical engineering, computer science, operations research, and industry courses with a substantial introduction to networking principles. Features Explains the principles of network design and operation, and their implementation in state-of-the-art technologies such as Internet, high speed LANs and WANs, ISDN, ATM, BISDN, and SONET. Combines the perspectives of the communications engineer, the computer scientist and the economist to provide a system-level understanding of the core networking principles and technologies. Presents essential tools for analyzing, designing, and managing high performance networks. Provides unique coverage of economic issues including cost recovery and pricing schemes. Includes up-to-date coverage of delays, losses, admission control, routing, flow control, switching, networkplanning, pricing, and billing.read more

QoS in ATM: theory and practice
TL;DR: This work considers joint traffic management of variable and available bit rate (VBR, ABR) services for ATM networks and proposes a flow control mechanism based on measurement of the current queue length and bandwidth availability to adjust an explicit bound on the source transmission rates.

Resource management in power‐controlled cellular wireless systems
TL;DR: The feasibility issue in a power-controlled system is highlighted, which enables us to push the system toward high efficiency, and prevent the system from collapsing at the same time.

Networked control systems: a perspective from chaos
Guofeng Zhang,Tongwen Chen +1 more
TL;DR: A nonlinear system aiming at reducing the signal transmission rate in a networked control system is constructed by adding nonlinear constraints to a linear feedback control system, which exhibits very interesting dynamical behaviors.

Stability in Competition
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that if the purveyor of an article gradually increases his price while his rivals keep theirs fixed, the diminution in volume of his sales will in general take place continuously rather than in the abrupt way which has tacitly been assumed.
