This course aims to provide students with an understanding of probability and queueing models and their analyses, simulation and numerical algorithms, and their use in modelling of practical present and future telecommunications traffic and networking applications. An important focus is how such models can lead to cost effective provision of telecommunications services. This course also aims to stimulate students’ appreciation in the potential to make research contributions in this area and to provide preparation for research degrees in telecommunications applications of probability models and queueing theory.
