Abstract
A method for evaluating performance of a data communication network with a receiver node arranged to initiate data transmission thereto from a plurality of transmitter nodes directly connected therewith includes applying to the data communication network a stochastic operation model arranged to model operation characteristics of the receiver node, and determining throughput or power consumption of the network based on the stochastic operation model. The operation characteristics include: a duration of a work cycle of the receiver node (T), the work cycle including an active data communication period (T) and an inactive period (T); a duration of the active data communication period (T), the active data communication period including a number of data communication events; the number of data communication events in the work cycle n; a duration of the respective data communication events (T); and amount of data successfully received at the receiver node in the work cycle (B).
