New Optimization Criteria for Message-Switching Networks
Abstract
This paper presents a new class of criteria for the optimum capacity assignment in store-and-forward communication networks under a total fixed-cost constraint. Compared with conventional average-delay optimization these criteria are more sensitive to the needs of the individual user. Closed-form results are attained.
