A stochastic network calculus for service performance in wireless mesh networks

In this paper, we develop a performance analysis framework for wireless mesh network(WMN) based on stochastic network calculus(SNC). Consider that WMN has the characteristic of traffic self-similarity, we use Fractional Brownian Motion(FBM) model to describe the input traffic as a self-similar input process, and we derive statistical traffic envelope and statistical service curve. Then we provide some performance bounds for output, backlog, and delay in WMN.
