Performance bounds on traffic predictor models for dynamic routing

The paper studies the problem of identifying and tracking the unknown and possibly time-varying parameters /spl lambda/ (arrival rate) and 1//spl mu/ (mean holding time) of a traffic stream. Soong (see SICON/ICIE93 conf., Singapore, Sept. 1993) developed two main predictor models. It is the purpose of this paper to: (i) motivate several modifications to the models (concentrating mostly on M/M/n/n queue) to provide class of models within this category: (ii) provide several variants of the current recursive least squares estimators: and finally. (iii) evaluate via simulation studies, the performance of each individual estimation algorithm under different conditions.<
