Performance analysis using SPN of a mobile telecommunication network under heavy load
D. Dube, A. von Mayrhauser · 2002
Stochastic Petri Net (SPN) is used as a performance modeling tool for a mobile telecommunication network: two mobile switching centers (MSCs) connected to a common access tandem. This is an example high level model of the network. Even then it has millions of states making an exact analysis infeasible. A new method based on the preferred cycle heuristic substantially reduces the state space while closely approximating results.>
