Abstract

In this paper we considered the approximation of a queueing system model of wireless ad hoc and sensor networks. In our model we admitted an arbitrary distribution for the duration of each M states that describe the source. Following the Markov Modulated Rate Process (MMRP) as a source model, we used it to introduce a diffusion approximation for the superposition of such aggregated traffic processes. We showed that the diffusion approximation of the aggregated traffic from the Markov modulated sources can illustrate the process of data harvesting by the sensors in different states.
