Abstract

The present paper considers problems for defining of the maximal messages traffic in a communication network with limited capacities of the separate sections and with arbitrary location of sensors and receivers on it. The specific requirements are described which emerge from the operation of the sensors and receivers on the communication network. Network flow methods are proposed for calculating the maximum possible messages flow, including such a flow of min cost, as well as of the set of critical sections of the network, which block the possibility of further increase of the messages flow. These methods take in account the specific features at generating and receiving of information by the sensors and the receivers respectively. Two numerical examples are given which practically illustrate the solving of the problems pointed out above, and show the effectiveness of the methods proposed for modelling and optimization.
