Stochastic user behaviour modelling and network simulation for resource management in cooperation with mobile telecommunications and broadcast networks

The latest generations of telecommunications networks have been designed to deliver higher data rates than widely used second generation telecommunications networks, providing flexible communication capabilities that can deliver high quality video images. However, these new generations of telecommunications networks are interference limited, impairing their performance in cases of heavy traffic and high usage. This limits the services offered by a telecommunications network operator to those that the operator is confident their network can meet the demand for. One way to lift this constraint would be for the mobile telecommunications network operator to obtain the cooperation of a broadcast network operator so that during periods when the demand for the service is too high for the telecommunications network to meet, the service can be transferred to the broadcast network. In the United Kingdom the most recent telecommunications networks on the market are third generation UMTS networks while the terrestrial digital broadcast networks are DVB-T networks. This paper proposes a way for UMTS network operators to forecast the traffic associated with high demand services intended to be deployed on the UMTS network and when demand requires to transfer it to a cooperating DVB-T network. The paper aims to justify to UMTS network operators the use of a DVB-T network as a support for a UMTS network by clearly showing how using a DVB-T network to support it can increase the revenue generated by their network

Study of strategies of selection of the transmission format for the uplink in systems WCDMA

UMTS was born with the objective to improve on the limitations of the second generation mobile, being able to offer multimedia services. It was created to provide multimedia service that requires higher bit rates. UMTS appears because there were new burst‟s services. The physical layer of UMTS is based on the acces technique by WCDMA broadband code division. The WCDMA access networks provide an inherent flexibility in the third generation mobile multimedia services. The radio interface capacity optimization is done with algorithms of Radio Resources, which consider the levels of interference in the system. These algorithms are the congestion control, the admission control, the power control, the suitable transport format management and handover management. In order to be able to understand the Radio Resources Management in UMTS this project has been structured so that in the first chapter it is explained briefly what UMTS is, next, in the second chapter there is an introduction to the WCDMA access technique. In chapter 3 we were centered in the Radio Resources Management, having explained most precise. The next chapter shows the cell coverage study, and the new algorithm implemented in this project. In chapter 5, the system simulator used is explained. And before the conclusions, are the results chapter, explaining the difference of doing the new algorithm or not. Basically, this work consists on the study of the Radio Resources Management and the simulations results with the objective to evaluate the cell coverage study realized in chapter 3. In order to make this task, it had not to consider no type of environmental considerations, because this project is an theoretical work. A possible environmental study in this subject could be given, if the possible electromagnetic waves about the antennas of mobile telephony or the batteries of the terminals, the materials used in the manufacture, etc. will be.The proposed PFC is in the framework of Radio Resources Management and Quality of Service (QoS) for CDMA based radio access networks (such as UMTS). One of the fundamental facts of these systems is to provide different types of multimedia services in order to guarantee certain quality requirements in the connections. The Radio Resources Management strategies (RRM) are in charge of controlling the different radio network parameters so guaranteeing the quality required to the connections and making a use efficient of the resources available. For the case of the uplink, it is very important to determine the format of transmission of the users, i.e., the rate of transmission that the user will have at every moment. The main objective of this PFC is to propose and to evaluate different strategies of user transmision format allocation in order to optimize the trade-off between the delay and the level of interferences that is added to the system. A simulator programed in C is available. This simulator models a real WCDMA system.With this simulator is possible to analyze the power condition, which is important for our study in this project. The study of this algorithm demonstrates how the user bit rate affects in the cell. By controlling the maximum power of each user, we can know if there are cell coverage problems. The analyses show the differences of having droppings or not with the new algorithm and the delay variation

An optimum dynamic priority-based call admission control scheme for universal mobile telecommunications system

The dynamism associated with quality of service (QoS) requirement for traffic emanating from smarter end users devices founded on the internet of things (IoTs) drive, places a huge demand on modern telecommunication infrastructure. Most telecom networks, currently utilize robust call admission control (CAC) policies to ameliorate this challenge. However, the need for smarter CAC has becomes imperative owing to the sensitivity of traffic currently being supported. In this work, we developed a prioritized CAC algorithm for third Generation (3G) wireless cellular network. Based on the dynamic priority CAC (DP-CAC) model, we proposed an optimal dynamic priority CAC (ODP-CAC) scheme for Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS). We then carried out simulation under heavy traffic load while also exploiting renegotiation among different call traffic classes. Also, we introduced queuing techniques to enhance the new calls success probability while still maintaining a good handoff failure across the network. Results show that ODP-CAC provides an improved performance with regards to the probability of call drop for new calls, network load utilization and grade of service with average percentage value of 15.7%, 5.4% and 0.35% respectively

Power control for WCDMA

This project tries to introduce itself in the physical implementations that make possible the denominated third generation mobile technology. As well as to know the technology kind that makes possible, for example, a video-call in real time. During this project, the different phases passed from the election of WCDMA like the access method for UMTS will appear. Its coexistence with previous network GSM will be analyzed, where the compatibility between systems has been one of the most important aspects in the development of WCDMA, the involved standardization organisms in the process, as well as the different protocols that make the mobile communications within a network UTRAN possible. Special emphasis during the study of the great contribution that has offered WCDMA with respect to the control of power of the existing signals will be made. The future lines that are considered in the present, and other comment that already are in their last phase of development in the field of the mobile technology. UMTS through WCDMA can be summarized like a revolution of the air interface accompanied by a revolution in the network of their architecture

QoS Based Capacity Enhancement for WCDMA Network with Coding Scheme

The wide-band code division multiple access (WCDMA) based 3G and beyond cellular mobile wireless networks are expected to provide a diverse range of multimedia services to mobile users with guaranteed quality of service (QoS). To serve diverse quality of service requirements of these networks it necessitates new radio resource management strategies for effective utilization of network resources with coding schemes. Call admission control (CAC) is a significant component in wireless networks to guarantee quality of service requirements and also to enhance the network resilience. In this paper capacity enhancement for WCDMA network with convolutional coding scheme is discussed and compared with block code and without coding scheme to achieve a better balance between resource utilization and quality of service provisioning. The model of this network is valid for the real-time (RT) and non-real-time (NRT) services having different data rate. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the network using convolutional code in terms of capacity enhancement and QoS of the voice and video services.Comment: 10 Pages, VLSICS Journa
