Abstract

In this paper a multimedia source is modeled as an arrival process defined as the superposition of heterogeneous correlated arrival processes, each of which models one monomedia source. To this purpose each monomedia source is modeled as an ON-OFF process where the transition rates are functions of the states of the other monomedia sources. Auto- and cross-correlation functions are derived for each monomedia source. The analytical model is used to develop results for single media performance in a multimedia multiplexer structure
