Evaluation of traffic parameters of multidimensional traffic of a combined link using a tabular method

In many communication systems, two or more traffic links are merged together to form a common trunk line. Usually, a Markovian technique is used to determine the different traffic parameters of aforementioned combined trunk line. But the technique does not hold good and also the Markov chain takes a complex shape for a network where offered traffics are more than two different types. In this paper, we propose a tabular method instead of a Markovian technique for calculating various traffic parameters of a network with multimedia traffic, applicable in mobile cellular networks. It is found in this work that the proposed tabular method overcomes the complexities of the Markovian approach and yields similar results.
