Among various architectures and technologies of FTTB, home run active Ethernet FTTB is an interesting technology. An important design issue related to FTTB deployments is the high level of CAPEX. In order to justify the FTTB deployments, service providers and network planners require a tool to assist them in selecting an optimized deployment strategy and network design. Lack of modeling tools to perform high level FTTB network planning is the main motivation behind this work. A configurable and customizable techno-economic model, which assist network planners and decision makers to have a high-level insight of Ethernet FTTB deployment is presented in this paper. The model captures both the technical and economical aspects of the Ethernet FTTB networks and provides key business performance indicators. The results of a case study for an Ethernet FTTB deployment in Athens (Greece) are presented.","PeriodicalId":241330,"journal":{"name":"2008 6th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing","volume":"95 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126246437","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}

Currently, all-optical wavelength-conversion can quite efficiently be performed by means of SOA. In this approach however, a significant shortcoming is the high sensitivity of error-performance to the relative polarization of optical-signals, which imposes rigid tuning requirements. To make conversion insensitive to random fluctuations of polarization, we employ a standard outband-FEC method, in combination with a novel inband-FEC method. The latter, called ldquoFOCUSrdquo, is best suited for combating burst-form errors. This particular property of ldquoFOCUSrdquo matches the error-distribution generated by the associated outband-FEC code, when the two are combined in serial-concatenation. We demonstrate the corrective-power of this FEC-concatenation scheme in protecting a 10 Gb/s lightwave-channel, which undergoes wavelength-conversion by means of an all-optical, SOA-based Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) switch. In this experiment, the MZI switch was purposely misadjusted, in order to increase the polarization sensitivity. We show error-free 10 Gb/s wavelength-conversion and no need for polarization-control before the converter.","PeriodicalId":241330,"journal":{"name":"2008 6th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133403574","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}

Size reduction is provided using of both LTCC (low temperature cofired ceramic) multilayer technology and system solutions. The filter design is based on transversal and recursive principles which provide easy and flexible design procedure. Characteristics of the filter are not worse then ones of standard resonator filters. The filter can be considered both as a transversal filter and as lumped-element equivalent circuit of a ring resonator with perturbations. Such configuration of the filter provides combination of low insertion loss in passband with high rejection characteristics. As an example, 5 GHz LTCC filter for wireless front-end systems was produced and successfully tested.","PeriodicalId":241330,"journal":{"name":"2008 6th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing","volume":"154 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134095071","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}

Before nodes participate in multi-hops communication, they must be assigned an IP address. Fast assignment, uniqueness, conflicts solving and reuse ability of the IP addresses in MANETs are the main topics of the auto-configuration process. The Logical Hierarchical Addressing protocol (LHA) is designed to achieve fast address assignment and less protocol overhead. The contribution of this paper is to evaluate the performance of the LHA algorithm by developing an analytical model based on the actual number of hops required to obtain an IP address. The proposed analytical model is designed to predict the latency and signalling overhead. The numerical results show that the LHA protocol reduces the latency by 50% and overhead traffic to obtain an IP address by 75% compared to the Token-based protocol.","PeriodicalId":241330,"journal":{"name":"2008 6th International Symposium on Communication Systems, Networks and Digital Signal Processing","volume":"807 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123290115","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}
