Aggregation of network traffic and anisotropic scaling of random fields

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We discuss joint spatial-temporal scaling limits of sums Alambda,gamma (indexed by (x,y)inmathbbR+2) of large number O(lambdagamma) of independent copies of integrated input process X=X(t),tinmathbbR at time scale lambda, for any given gamma>0. We consider two classes of inputs X: (I) Poisson shot-noise with (random) pulse process, and (II) regenerative process with random pulse process and regeneration times following a heavy-tailed stationary renewal process. The above classes include several queueing and network traffic models for which joint spatial-temporal limits were previously discussed in the literature. In both cases (I) and (II) we find simple conditions on the input process in order that normalized random fields Alambda,gamma tend to an alpha-stable L'evy sheet (1<alpha<2) if gamma<gamma0, and to a fractional Brownian sheet if gamma>gamma0, for some gamma0>0. We also prove an `intermediate' limit for gamma=gamma0. Our results extend previous works Mikosch et al. (2002), Gaigalas, Kaj (2003) and other papers to more general and new input processes.
