bursty

The main reason for doing this is to insulate the information bits from bursty noise.

But much data traffic, such as browsing web sites, is bursty and highly variable.

At home, the service was very bursty.

For one thing, terminal traffic is bursty.

"When it's shown, people overlap the petals just so, and it creates a bursty kind of pattern," she added.

For example, the traditional telephone network is too noisy and inefficient for bursty data communication.

Traffic quantity is then a superposition of packet trains, which generates substantial bursty behavior.

In packet based data communication services, the communication is bursty and the traffic load rapidly changing.

"It's a very bursty job," he added.

DCA also handles bursty cell traffic and utilizes the cellular radio resources more efficiently.

In this use, the two firms are exploiting the fact that most computer networks are used in an irregular or "bursty" fashion.

Also USB endpoint activity tends to be bursty.

Deep space communications are limited by the thermal noise of the receiver which is more of a continuous nature than a bursty nature.

DCA is a better way not only for handling bursty cell traffic but also in efficiently utilising the cellular radio resources.

Bursts may also result from bursty signalling, cell cycle effects or movement of chromatin to and from transcription factories.

Drop-tail queues have a tendency to penalise bursty flows, and to cause global synchronisation between flows.

VBR has real-time and non-real-time variants, and serves for "bursty" traffic.

Implementations of the token bucket and leaky bucket as a meter do, however, allow output traffic flows to have bursty characteristics.

This also helps to quantify the audibility of bursty noise, ticks and pops that might go undetected with a slow rms measurement.

GPRS is optimized for "bursty" data communication services, such as wireless internet/intranet, and multimedia services.

However, the Poisson traffic model is memoryless, which means that is does not reflect the bursty nature of packet data, also known as the long-range dependency.

Another attempt at providing a bursty traffic model is found in Jain and Routhier's Packet Trains model.

In an asynchronous circuit, the switching times of the nodes are not correlated in this manner, so the current draw tends to be more uniform and less bursty.

Davies' key insight came with the realization that computer network traffic was inherently "bursty" with periods of silence, compared with relatively constant telephone traffic.

Simple over-provisioning is a highly inefficient solution, both in absolute terms (since unused connections generate no revenue) and due to the highly bursty nature of Internet traffic.
