ANALYSIS OF EXISTING SIMULATION METHODS AND A NEW APPROACHTO CONVERGENT COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS FORMALIZATION

In this article, the need for a formalized description of convergent communication systems is shown to ensure the possibility of their adequate simulation from general position and to provide under-standing of their functioning processes, as well as development trends. An analysis of existing theoretical approaches to the communication systems simulation is performed, as a result of which has proved that their use is difficult for the problem being solved. A matrix approach to the description of convergent communication systems is proposed, within the framework of which two new concepts are introduced: Significant Components of Technologies and Influencing Factors, and a new type of mathematical operations is described. In addition, a theorem on the closure of an algebraic ring for the introduced mathematical operations and objects of a matrix type is presented. It is shown that the proposed approach allows to describe processes in a convergent network from general position.
