Traffic-Centric Modeling of Future Wireless Internet access technologies

Modeling the performance of wireless networks is essential for the success of the Future Wireless Internet. Results obtained from a previous WLAN study suggest that Traffic-Centric Modeling (TCM) is a viable option for developing useful wireless performance models. In this extended abstract, a novel TCM methodology is briefly introduced. We intend to use TCM to develop models of complex wireless systems, such as IEEE 802.16 and 3GPP LTE networks.
