Abstract
With the rapid development of communication technology, impacts of various service characteristics on the performance of wireless networks draw numerous studies. However, few from such studies take into account the impacts of the overheads which always arise due to traffic influx. Stochastic network calculus is a newly but promising queuing theory, and its concept has proved to be a good tool for performance analysis in the field of communication networks. In this paper, we investigate the impacts of packet size and their overheads on wireless network performance. A wireless network model that comprises data channels and control channels is introduced. An optimization problem is then formulated with the objective to minimize the transmission rates under different probabilistic delay constraints in both data and control channels. Thereafter, we apply stochastic network calculus to solve the optimization problem. Finally, numerical results of minimum transmission rate, overhead arrival rate and packet loss probability are presented, wherein the impacts of packet size and their overheads are analyzed and discussed.
