Abstract

Quasi Simultaneous-Multiple Births and Deaths (QBD-M) Processes are used to model many of the traffic, service and related problems in modern communication systems. Their importance is on the increase due to the great strides that are taking place in telecommunication systems and networks. This paper presents the overview of the Spectral Expansion (SE) for the steady state solution of QBD-M processes and applications in future Internet engineering.
