Our choice was for the real network traces exploitation techniques, mainly because compared to other techniques this technique is very adapted to the real modeling. Although this technique is most convenient, it has many disadvantages. From this context, was born the aim of this work which consists in the creation of a new method which can investigate on mobile network traces based on Data Mining. These new methods permit us to investigate on data GPRS network traces and extract a very significant population for the study, modeling and planning existent and new network.","PeriodicalId":208094,"journal":{"name":"2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"78 9","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120926098","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, for example, is the case when orthogonal frequency division multiplexing is employed for data communications. Since the power available at the source and relay is limited, we study optimal power allocation strategies at the source and relay in order to maximize the overall source-destination capacity. Depending on the availability of the channel state information at both the source and relay or only at the relay, power allocation is performed at both the source and relay or only at the relay. Considering different setups for the problem, various optimization problems are formulated and solved. Some properties of the optimal solution are also proved.","PeriodicalId":208094,"journal":{"name":"2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130718078","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 problem is a multicriteria optimization problem in nature and our goal in this paper is to explore the application of NSGA-II, an evolutionary algorithm for multiobjective optimization, for determining the optimal distribution of traffic demands over the network. The problem is first formulated as a multiobjective constrained optimization problem which is NP-hard. Then, a hybrid heuristic algorithm based on of linear programming and NSGA-II is developed for approximating the optimal Pareto front. We compare the performance of the proposed heuristic using a 10-node problem adopted from the literature with the exact solutions generated using a lexicographic Chebyshev method.","PeriodicalId":208094,"journal":{"name":"2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"58 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132758097","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}

Based on the derivation of effective signal-to-ratio (SNR) at the receiver taking into account channel estimation error, we obtain closed-form expressions for error and outage probabilities in high SNR regime. Such closed form solutions are highly desirable because they allow for rapid and efficient evaluation of system performance.

The channel is usually modeled as a normalized fading coefficient with additive Gaussian noise. Optimal detection of the received signal is designed based on a decision rule, e.g., Maximum Likelihood (ML), assuming the receiver knows the noise statistics and fading correlation of the channel. This paper briefly deals with analysis on bit error rate (BER) of a wireless optical signal passing through a lognormally distributed fading channel, when perfect knowledge of channel state information (CSI) at the receiver side is available. Two approaches will be presented to provide closed-form expressions for BER. One uses Gauss-Hermite quadrature approximation and the other one is based on power series. While numerical analysis shows a very small approximation error when the Gauss-Hermite approach is considered, the power series approach does not uses any approximation.","PeriodicalId":208094,"journal":{"name":"2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133093207","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}

Both primary and cognitive links are subject to delay-QoS constraints. The achievable throughput subject to a given delay-QoS constraint can be quantified as the effective capacity of a link. We consider a system in which the primary user transmits with a constant power and utilizes an adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) scheme subject to its required bit error rate (BER). A link (power and rate) adaptation scheme is proposed for the interfering cognitive radio to maximize its effective capacity, while a minimum required effective capacity for the primary user is provisioned. A BER performance requirement and a power constraint are also considered for the cognitive radio. The resulting problem is then cast as a nonlinear discrete optimization problem for which a fast and efficient suboptimum solution is presented. Comparisons with the scheduled (non-interfering) adaptive cognitive transmission demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed interfering transmission scheme.","PeriodicalId":208094,"journal":{"name":"2010 17th International Conference on Telecommunications","volume":"136 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133388490","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}
