Estimating Message Transmission Time Over Heterogeneous Disrupted Links
Philip Ginzboorg, Valtteri Niemi, Jörg Ott · 2018
We consider fragmented message transmission through a heterogeneous chain of several independently disrupted communication links. The message is prepared for fragmentation before transmission by dividing it into blocks of constant size. In this setting, we derive an approximation for the mean and standard deviation of fragmented message transmission time when one of the links in the heterogeneous chain is much slower than the rest.
