Using Markov Chains to Model the Error Behavior of Data Communications Channels

Abstract

This report is intended to present a description of the work performed for a project to model data communications error patterns using Markov Models. It details a method for arriving at a final Markov model starting from a collection of channel error statistics, presents a rough Markov Model for a Meteor Burst Channel and lastly presents a theoretical model for a channel that presents a non-specific, 'N-Bits in error over M-Percent' channel error pattern. Bit-Error-Rate Models, Markov Models, Data Communications.
