Towards Understanding Complex Communication Networks: Performance, Phase Transitions and Control

Abstract
Micro dynamics of large-scale communication networks is often described by a Markov process with a large number of locally interacting components. Due to astronomically high number of the Markov process states even for moderate-size networks, finding the entire micro distribution by solving the corresponding Kolmogorov equations is computationally infeasible. The paper proposes mean-field approximations for evaluating macro variables representing measurable and practically important network performance criteria without solving the corresponding Kolmogorov equations for TCP/IP networks under random flow arrivals/departures and multiservice mobile wireless cellular networks. Bifurcations of the non-linear mean-field equations are naturally associated with phase transitions and metastability.Proceedings Title
