Statistical Multiplexing

...to efficiently transport traffic sources that alternate between bursts of transmission activity and periods of no activity.- Kavitha Chandra, Center for Advanced Computation and Telecommunications University of Massachusetts at Lowell, Massachusetts

Statistical multiplexing is a key concept in data networks because traffic is bursty- Key Concepts in Networking, University of Washington online course

Bursty Traffic

How to Handle Bursty Traffic

How to Handle Bursty Traffic – cont‘d

// Capacity is assigned to Cells that really need Bandwidth //

A cell gets assigned CIR plus extra pool capacity shared by all cells. Unused CIR of one cell is immediately available to other cells.

The total network traffic capacity is split in multiple TDMA carriers Cascading of MF-TDMA carriers multiplies bandwidth

Microwave Example

150 Mb/s150 Mb/s

150M b/s

BH=450 Mb/s ?

BH=n x avg x g

BH=3 x 90 x 0,9

BH=243 Mb/s

BH = Backhaul Capacityn = number of linksavg = average link utilizationg = gain factor

BH=243 Mb/s (1,85:1 overbooking)

BH=20 x 90 x 0,3

BH=540 Mb/s

BH=540 Mb/s (5,5:1 overbooking)

Statistical Multiplexing – Key Message

Lesson learned: the more sites accessing the channel (n),the more gain from statistical multiplexing (g)
