Abstract

An analytical procedure is presented to evaluate the capacity required for channels used to transmit data from multiple-buffered concentrators used in data communications networks. Three message assembly procedures are compared. The parameters considered in the analysis are queuing discipline, buffer size, and computational complexity. The influence of these factors on channel capacity is examined. It is shown that the required channel capacity C for a first-come, first-served message assembly procedure satisfies C=
