The derived estimates can be used for performance evaluation and capacity planning in cases where the arrival process is not observable directly. Instead, only the departure process modified at the (last) server needs to be observed. Concerning the arrival process we begin by focusing on the normally distributed number of arrivals per interval and on autoregressive processes. Both classes can be used to model traffic in communication networks on links with a high degree of aggregation. In the case of autoregressive processes we apply the Tobit regression model in order to derive accurate estimates of all parameters of the arrival process. We then continue by generalizing the estimation procedures to correlated arrival processes by using the Buckley\u2013James Estimator. The results are presented for the single G\/ D\/1 queue but are then generalized to the more realistic scenario of sequences of queues with possibly varying bottleneck capacity. The latter especially permits the modeling of effects due to interfering cross traffic. We show how the derived estimates can be used for performance evaluation or capacity planning based on effective bandwidth theory. Finally, we demonstrate that the estimation procedures can be utilized within wireless networks by means of a detailed simulation model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0037549710385835","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,13]],"date-time":"2010-12-13T22:47:12Z","timestamp":1292280432000},"page":"1033-1047","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Reconstructing arrival processes to discrete queueing systems by inverse load transformation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"87","author":[{"given":"Stephan","family":"Heckm\u00fcller","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, TKRN, University of Hamburg, Germany."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bernd E.","family":"Wolfinger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Computer Science, TKRN, University of Hamburg, Germany."}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2010,12,13]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"bibr1-0037549710385835","first-page":"65","volume":"25","author":"Wolfinger BE","year":"1999","journal-title":"Systems Sci J"},{"key":"bibr2-0037549710385835","first-page":"35","volume-title":"The 14th International Conference on Analytical and Stochastic Modelling Techniques and Applications","author":"Heckm\u00fcller S"},{"key":"bibr3-0037549710385835","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0037549709341071"},{"key":"bibr4-0037549710385835","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0304-4076(84)90074-5"},{"key":"bibr5-0037549710385835","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/mnsc.36.5.586"},{"key":"bibr6-0037549710385835","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1287\/opre.40.3.S217"},{"key":"bibr7-0037549710385835","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/INFCOM.2001.916298"},{"key":"bibr8-0037549710385835","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0166-5316(97)00023-0"},{"key":"bibr9-0037549710385835","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1467-9868.2004.B5725.x"},{"key":"bibr10-0037549710385835","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1214\/088342304000000422"},{"key":"bibr11-0037549710385835","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1145\/1544012.1544023"},{"key":"bibr12-0037549710385835","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/CISDA.2009.5356565"},{"key":"bibr13-0037549710385835","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1109\/JSAC.2007.070505"},{"key":"bibr14-0037549710385835","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.peva.2006.05.008"},{"key":"bibr15-0037549710385835","first-page":"189","volume-title":"Proceedings of ASMTA \u201908.
