With this behavior, they are said to associate with self-similar property, by which they can no longer be expressed as Poisson distribution, but following power law distribution such as Pareto. Bursty traffic has a direct impact on network performance. Thus, if the self-similar property can be captured at earlier stage before submission to network, a specific mechanism could be applied at a sender node such that a more regulated traffic could be obtained. As a result, deterministic network performance could be attained, and thus allowing QoS guarantees be granted to users. However, this can only be effectively done with support of a source traffic analysis. Hence, the objectives of this paper are two folds: first is to identify the reason for burstiness, and second is to determine if the self-similar property can be removed from the source traffic. By executing these two, a traffic analysis shall be produced. Video traces of Jurassic Park and Soccer were simulated in a Bluetooth ad hoc network environment and were checked against a set of criteria for self-similarity. It was found that, in the first place, self-similar behavior is indeed associated with bursty traffic. Secondly, the number of packets produced from SAR segmentation protocol is the reason for the heavy-tailed distribution of the source traffic. Finally, the SAR protocol was found unable to eliminate the self-similar property from a bursty traffic flow. ©2007 IEEE. date: 2007 publisher: IEEE Computer Society official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-58149186106&doi=10.1109%2fATNAC.2007.4665291&partnerID=40&md5=3d26e024c5ccd7e89f4362c163136781 id_number: 10.1109/ATNAC.2007.4665291 full_text_status: none publication: 2007 Australasian Telecommunication Networks and Applications Conference, ATNAC 2007 place_of_pub: Christchurch pagerange: 129-133 refereed: TRUE isbn: 1424415578; 9781424415571 citation: Hasbullah, H. and Sulaiman, S. and Said, A.Md.
