Solutions for IPv6-based mobility in the EU project MobyDick

Proceedings of the WTC 2002, 18th World Telecommunications Congress, Paris, France, 22 -27 September, 2002.Mobile Internet technology is moving towards a packet-based or, more precisely, IPv6-based network. Current solutions on Mobile IPv6 and other related QoS and AAA matters do not offer the security and quality users have come to take for granted. The EU IST project Moby Dick has taken on the challenge of providing a solution that integrates QoS, mobility and AAA in a heterogeneous access environment. This paper focuses on the mobility part of the project, describes and justifies the handover approach taken, shows how QoS-aware and secure handover is achieved, and introduces the project's paging concept. It shows that a transition to a fully integrated IP-RAN and IP-Backbone has become a distinct option for the future.Publicad

STUDI INTEGRASI JARINGAN MULTIMEDIA B-ISDN/ATM DENGAN UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunication System)

Perkembangan implementasi dari komunikasi multimedia mengarah pada struktur jaringan kabel yang sudah ada, namun tidak memungkinkan untuk dapat dipakai di sembarang tempat karena ketiadaan perangkat yang portable. UMTS sebagai sistem telekomunikasi generasi ketiga dipersiapkan untuk dapat mendukung komunikasi data dan multimedia serta dapat mendukung bermacam-macam layanan yang ditawarkan oleh jaringan tetap yang ada saat ini termasuk dengan jaringan B-ISDN. UMTS mempertimbangkan layanan laju data radio sebesar 144 Kbps sampai 2 Mbps untuk mendukung berbagai macam layanan data multimedia dimana jenis dari akses radio tersebut akan menjangkau dari sambungan dengan laju bit yang konstan maupun yang variabel, akses paket yang berorientasi koneksi sampai akses paket yang tak terkoneksi pada band frekuensi 2 GHz. Integrasi yang dilakukan menggunakan fasilitas infrastruktur jaringan yang sudah ada yang berbasiskan pada ATM transport dan integrasi dengan konsep IN serta mendukung pemakaian antarmuka radio serta mengadopsi IP (Internet Protocol) switching dan aplikasi protokol yang dapat digunakan untuk interaksi antara entitas yang menyilang dari antarmuka yang digunakan untuk aplikasi protokol manajemen UMTS adalah bebas, antara lain SNMP, CNIP dan CORBA. Dengan mobilitas, laju bit dan band frekuensi yang besar serta fleksibilitas yang dipunyai UMTS maka proses integrasi dengan jaringan multimedia B-ISDN/ATM dapat dimungkinkan dengan kualitas layanan yang identik dengan jaringan yang sudah ada

Analisis Performansi Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Yang Disebabkan Oleh Wideband Effect Loss Pada Jaringan UMTS

Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is the forthcoming global mobile network for packet data. This network uses the Wideband Code Division MultIPle Access (WCDMA) air interface. Contrary to other Radio Networks like GPRS, most of UMTS applications will be end-to-end applications and as a result the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) will be used. In a wireless environment that used radio channel, mobile users can make the performance of system decrease. The influence of multIPath (Rayleigh fading) was calculated by MatLab software. The result from MatLab trace used in NS-2 environment to looking for the performance of UMTS system that used HSDSCH channel. The result of simulation have done, the performance of UMTS system HSDSCH channel that influence with radius user from node B, the number of user in cell, the moving of users, shadowing, multIPath, and Rayleigh fading. The best performance result was received if the radius of users is near from node B (±300m), moreless if radius users from node B is far, so the performance will be decrease

Simulasi Pengaruh Shadowing dan Rayleigh Fading terhadap Performansi TCP Reno pada Jaringan UMTS

Intisari---Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) merupakan perkembangan global teknologi mobile network untuk packet data. Sistem UMTS ini menggunakan Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) sebagai air-interfacenya. Seperti komunikasi radio network lainnya, misalnya GPRS, maka sebagian besar aplikasi dari UMTS bersifat end-to-end application yang menggunakan Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Pada jaringan yang menggunakan kanal radio, perubahan kondisi kanal, pergerakan user dapat mempengaruhi kinerja sistem. Pengaruh shadowing, multipath (Rayleigh fading) inilah yang disebut sebagai wideband effect loss. Wideband effect loss ini dihitung menggunakan software MatLab. Hasil dari file trace perhitungan pengaruh wideband effect loss ini kemudian dijadikan input pada NS-2 Simulator untuk dihitung performansi jaringan UMTS yang menggunakan HSDSCH. Hasil dari uji kinerja sistem UMTS yang dipengaruhi oleh wideband effect loss sangat dipengaruhi oleh jarak user terhadap node B, jumlah user pada cell, kecepatan pergerakan user, shadowing, multipath, dan Rayleigh fading. Performansi sistem UMTS yang paling baik diperoleh bila jarak user terhadap node B dekat (±300m) sedangkan semakin jauh jarak user terhadap node B maka performansi sistem akan semakin menurun. Kata Kunci---TCP, multipath, wideband effect loss, throughput, HSDSCH, UMTS.   Abstract---Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) is the forthcoming global mobile network for packet data.

Wireless communications in the new millennium and third generation wireless networks

At the end of the 20 century, and at the beginning of this one, wireless communications are making large advances. The new technologies are on the way to provide a high-speed, high-quality information exchange between handheld terminals, and information repositories. The so called 2,5 generation networks, using the techniques like the HSCSD1, GPRS2, EDGE3, and the 3r generation wireless systems will help the wireless world to reach those goals. In this thesis I will start from the first and second-generation wireless networks, and then look into the 2,5 generation and 3rd generation wireless communications more in detail. The latest advances in the wireless world are the main focus of this paper although a short history of wireless communications is also given. The various aspects related to 3rd generation systems will be explored in this thesis, for example the air interface discussions, its time scale, its elements like the mobile equipment, software and security, USLM4, services that will be offered, etc. In addition, the technical factors and key technologies that are likely to shape the wireless network environment of the future will be explored. This part is expected to help us to see beyond the 3rd generation

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

Self-optimizing Uplink Outer Loop Power Control for WCDMA Network

The increasing demands for high data rates, drives the efforts for more efficient usage of the finite natural radio spectrum resources. Existing wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA) uplink outer loop power control has difficulty to answer to the new load on air interface. The main reason is that the maximum allowed noise rise per single user is fixed value. In worst case uplink load can be so high that all services, including conversational service, could be blocked. In this paper investigation has been performed to present correlation of main system parameters, used by uplink outer loop power control, to uplink load. Simulation has been created and executed to present difference in current implementation of uplink outer loop power control against proposed changes. Proposed solution is self-optimizing uplink outer loop power control in a way that maximum allowed noise rise per single user would be dynamically changed based on current uplink load on cell
