Abstract

Background. The last decades were marked by a significant achievement in the field of teletraffic theory – the discovery of self-similar properties of processes occurring in modern networks. Modern telecommunication networks and information systems are complex, dynamic structures in which data flows are formed by a large number of independent sources. Studies show that traffic in such systems exhibits the property of correlation on different time scales. This means that changes in network load can affect its operation not only in the short term, but also over significant time intervals.

Objective. The purpose of the paper is to investigate how the queuing systems’ (QS) characteristics sensitivity changes in the Hurst parameter (H) under conditions of self-similar traffic. Additionally, it aims to assess the impact of the traffic correlation properties on the quality indicators of the telecommunication networks’ functioning.

Methods. The mathematical basis of the study is the use of the Weibull distribution for the incoming self-similar flow to describe the characteristics of the SMO, as well as the dynamics description of the self-similar traffic property for different values of the Hurst parameters.

Results. The influence of the traffic self-similarity property on the sensitivity of changes in service quality indicators in queuing systems, depending on the intensity of incoming traffic, the intensity of service requests, and different values of the Hurst parameters, was investigated.

Conclusions. The influence of the traffic self-similarity property on the sensitivity of changes in QS quality of service indicators is most significant with an increase in the intensity of incoming traffic, the intensity of application service, and with values of the Hurst parameter close to 1. This emphasises the importance of taking into account the self-similarity factor when determining the characteristics of similar information and communication systems.
