Philips Research, Volume 10 Editor-in-Chief Dr. Frank Toolenaar Philips Research Laboratories Eindhoven The Netherlands
Scope to the ‘Philips Research Book Series’ As one of the largest private sector research establishments in the world, Philips Research is shaping the future with technology inventions that meet peoples’ needs and desires in the digital age. While the ultimate user benefits of these inventions end up on the high-street shelves, the often pioneering scientific and technological basis usually remains less visible. This ‘Philips Research Book Series’ has been set up as a way for Philips researchers to contribute to the scientific community by publishing their comprehensive results and theories in book form.

Foreword
Reservation procedures constitute the core of many popular data transmission protocols. They consist of two steps: A request phase in which a station reserves the communication channel and a transmission phase in which the actual data transmission takes place. Such procedures are often applied in communication networks that are characterised by a shared communication channel with large round-trip times. In this book, we propose queueing models for situations that require a reservation procedure and validate their applicability in the context of cable networks. We offer two approaches to better understand the performance of these reservation procedures, both based on mathematical modelling. The first, decompositional, approach proposes separate models for the request and the datatransmissio
