New features introduced by smart grid means that substation communication is more complex than that of traditional power grid. Due to the data requirements of the smart grid, new challenges have arisen at the network layer of OSI model with respect to the reliable and efficient exchange of data between smart grid substations. This paper aims to analyze applicability of different protocols in distributed smart grid environment. Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) protocol was tested to identify how it responds to high network traffic conditions, varying message sizes and number of receivers. Obtained transfer rates by PGM was also compared with transfer rates of conventional TCP/IP protocol when applied in multi-site smart grid environment.","PeriodicalId":156236,"journal":{"name":"2016 XI International Symposium on Telecommunications (BIHTEL)","volume":"48 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127501336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Degradation of QoS indicators can occur at any point in time, when the value of transfer channel function changes or if there is an appearance of additional noise. Therefore, for this purpose it is necessary to conduct a temporal analysis of the impact of the QoS indicator degradation on the delivery of MM (Multimedia) service in real time. Also, the phenomenon of degradation of QoS can be associated with queues, flow control or with analog-to-digital conversions that occur on the network elements. The combination of all these phenomena in the higher layers of the OSI (Open System Interconnection) reference model can be identified as packet loss, delay or jitter, and this paper examines their impact on the level of video perception by the end consumer. That perception can be identified as QoE (Quality of Experience).","PeriodicalId":156236,"journal":{"name":"2016 XI International Symposium on Telecommunications (BIHTEL)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130973030","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper is oriented to the practical realization of QKD public channels which are usually implemented as overlay point-to-point connections. We address the problem of minimizing the key material consumption by changing packet overhead. Our results show that the efficiency of communication in overlay QKD networks may increase when packets of larger sizes are used. However, this tuning directly affects the performance of overall communication. We evaluated this approach using an overlay network module which was implemented in the NS-3 simulator. The obtained results can be used for other overlay networks as well.","PeriodicalId":156236,"journal":{"name":"2016 XI International Symposium on Telecommunications (BIHTEL)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131982008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed model is tested on the several cases and the results are satisfactory. The results of the forecasting show the different effects that certain meteorological parameters have on the temporal prediction of concentrations of PM10. It can also be concluded that ANN approach is very useful in terms of the time series forecast the concentrations of PM10 particles with good forecasting results.
