Abstract
It has been known that the cell loss ratio (CLR) characteristics of the multiplexed traffic depend on the arrangement of I-picture starting times of individual variable bit rate (VBR) MPEG video sources. In this paper, we propose a simple yet accurate traffic model for the multiplexed VBR MPEG video to calculate the CLR at an ATM multiplexer when the arrangement of the I-picture starting times of individual sources is given. In the proposed model, in order to represent the arrangement of the I-picture starting times, each picture type (I-, P-, or B-picture) of individual source is modeled by the arrival rate histogram, and the multiplexed video traffic is modeled by the convolution of the arrival rate histograms of the pictures that comprise the multiplexed traffic. Using the proposed traffic model, we propose an analytical method to calculate the CLR of the multiplexed VBR MPEG video at an ATM multiplexer. Simulation results show that the proposed method can calculate the CLR more precisely and efficiently than other existing methods.
