| Abstract: | This paper presents a moment matching approach for constructing an equivalent model of an ATM cell arrival process based on inter-cell arrival time measurement. As compared to a renowned parameter-matching technique proposed by Heffes and Lucatoni, the advantage of this approach is that the matching parameters are more easily obtained in real traffic situation. This approach has been tested on an MMBP[Poisson] process, and results show that only the first four moments are required to capture the key characteristics in this process. |
