Modeling and Simulation Environment for Satellite and Terrestrial Communications Networks: Proceedings of the European COST Telecommunications Symposium / Edition 1

by A. Nejat Ince

Overview

Modeling and Simulation Environment for Satellite and Terrestrial Communications Networks: Proceedings of the European COST Telecommunications Symposium will be of interest to network designers, developers, and operators.
This book is a collection of papers given at the European Cost Telecommunications Symposium. The Symposium was broken down into four sessions:

• Modelling and Simulation.
• Teletraffic Modelling.
• Communications Networks Simulation.
• Problems in Simulation.
Each session addressed a wide spectrum of subjects. The symposium covered nearly all of the important aspects of simulation modeling and tools for the design and performance evaluation of communication techniques and systems. Emerging techniques were emphasized.
Modeling and Simulation Environment for Satellite and Terrestrial Communications Networks: Proceedings of the European COST Telecommunications Symposium is a useful reference work for practicing engineers and academic researchers.
