Source modelling, queueing analysis, and bandwidth allocation for VBR MPEG-2 video traffic in ATM networks

The authors propose a mini-source based discrete-time Markov modulated deterministic process (D-MMDP) to model the macro-frame smoothed VER MPEG-2 traffic. It is shown that such a modelling technique is sufficiently accurate and implies the involved queueing analysis for relevant system performance measures. It also provides a simple and accurate solution to the bandwidth allocation problem for VBR MPEG-2 video traffic
