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

A resource management architecture for future mobile communications systems

This paper presents an overview of a hierarchical Resource Management architecture for future mobile communications systems. The architecture is designed to be generic and can therefore be adopted for a range of Radio Access Methodologies. In particular it provides a mechanism for radio resource management across airinterfaces such as those being defined for use with UMTS. Given the move towards packet-switched technologies both in the Core Network and the Radio Access Network [1], the architecture embraces the concept of statistical QoS applied to individual flows in the form of a commitment level.

Advanced mobile network monitoring and automated optimization methods

The operation of mobile networks is a complex task with the networks serving a large amount of subscribers with both voice and data services, containing extensive sets of elements, generating extensive amounts of measurement data and being controlled by a large amount of parameters. The objective of this thesis was to ease the operation of mobile networks by introducing advanced monitoring and automated optimization methods. In the monitoring domain the thesis introduced visualization and anomaly detection methods that were applied to detect intrusions, mal-functioning network elements and cluster network elements to do parameter optimization on network-element-cluster level. A key component in the monitoring methods was the Self-Organizing Map. In the automated optimization domain several rule-based Wideband CDMA radio access parameter optimization methods were introduced. The methods tackled automated optimization in areas such as admission control, handover control and mobile base station cell size setting. The results from test usage of the monitoring methods indicated good performance and simulations indicated that the automated optimization methods enable significant improvements in mobile network performance. The presented methods constitute promising feature candidates for the mobile network management system.reviewe

The new enhancement of UMTS: HSDPA and HSUPA

During the last two decades, the world of the mobile communications grew a lot, as a consequence of the increasing necessity of people to communicate. Now, the mobile communications still need to improve for satisfies the user demands. The new enhancement of UMTS in concrete HSDPA and HSUPA is one of these improvements that the society needs. HSDPA and HSUPA which together are called HSPA, give to the users higher data rates in downlink and uplink. The higher data rates permit to the operators give more different types of services and at the same time with better quality. As a result, people can do several new applications with their mobile terminals like applications that before a computer and internet connection were required, now it is possible to do directly with the mobile terminal. This thesis consists in study these new technologies denominated HSDPA and HSUPA and thus know better the last tendencies in the mobile communications. Also it has a roughly idea about the future tendencies

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

Optimal Radio Access Technology Selection on Heterogeneous Networks

[EN] The joint management of radio resources in heterogeneous networks is considered to improve their capacity. We propose joint schemes for admission control and access technology selection with vertical handoffs. Optimal policies are found for wireless networks that support two access techniques and cover the same geographical area. In addition, the system under study also supports heterogeneous traffic of two types: streaming and elastic. We explore the optimization of different functions expressed in terms of blocking probabilities and throughput. An exhaustive numerical analysis allows us to characterize the optimal admission policies according to the arrival type and system state. Based on this characterization, heuristic policies are designed and their performance is compared to the one obtained by previously proposed schemes. This analysis is also done when constraints, expressed in terms of blocking probability bounds, are added. An extension of the previous system that includes vertical handoffs, in order to evaluate their impact on the system performance, is also studied. For the four types of vertical handoffs considered, we determine and characterize the optimal policies according to the arrival type, system state and vertical handoff action. Since it is not computationally feasible to calculate the optimal policies online, new heuristic policies with vertical handoffs are design and evaluated. It is found that the heuristic policies scale with the system size without requiring any adjustment, their performance is very close to the one obtained by the optimal policies and they are simple to implement, and, therefore, can be used online. In addition, we find that the heuristic policies are insensitive to the service time of the voice sessions and the elastic flow sizes beyond the mean. Finally, in order to take into account the cost of performing vertical handoffs, a new optimization problem is formulated that relates the costs of voice and data blocking with the costs of vertical handoffs.This work was supported by the Spanish Government and the European Commission through projects TIN2010- 21378-C02-02 and TIN2008-06739-C04-02.Pacheco Páramo, DF.; Pla, V.; Casares Giner, V.; Martínez Bauset, J.
