Abstract

This thesis evaluates the performance of the D-channel which is part of the Basic Rate interface in an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN). A channel is a specified portion of the information-carrying capacity of the interface. The Basic Rate interface supports three channels; two B-channels and one D-channel. As ISDN user, physically connected on a passive bus, contends and resolves access for the D-channel, or signalling channel. In this thesis the D-channel and the contention resolution are modeled and simulated as a queueing system. Simulation results using the non-preemptive priority queueing discipline with deterministic and truncated exponential service times are presented. Performance is measured in terms of delay and queue length characteristics.
