This technique uses the wiring of the low-voltage grid in order to offer to the users the telecommunications services, such as Internet. In this paper, the B-PLC planning process is sub-divided into two parts, which are the Generalized Base Station Placement (GBSP) and the PLC Channel Allocation Problem (P-CAP). This paper focuses on GBSP that is formulated as multi-objective combinatorial optimization and solved by the means of metaheuristics. Two optimization approaches are used to solve it: the classical approach based on single-objective optimization and the modern approach based on multi-objective optimization. Their performances are evaluated and compared with each other.","PeriodicalId":393914,"journal":{"name":"2007 Second International Conference on Access Networks & Workshops","volume":"240 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115831180","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}

However, by developing the optimization strategies based only on the PSD constraints (masks) we can tremendously reduce the computation complexity compared to the methods only based on the total power restriction. In this paper we introduce a mask-based spectrum balancing (MSB) algorithm and demonstrate the near optimum performance of this optimization approach. Furthermore, we show that besides standards compliance, PSD restriction is also needed to ensure the convergence of iterative spectrum balancing methods, which use dual decomposition optimization.","PeriodicalId":393914,"journal":{"name":"2007 Second International Conference on Access Networks & Workshops","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130799540","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}

While Asymmetric DSL (ADSL) technology continues to see the predominate share of access lines, Very high speed DSL (VDSL) has been in development for several years and has yet to overtake ADSL in the marketplace. While the increase in broadband communication demand has certainly fueled the growth of DSL, the deployment of the management protocol defined by the DSL Forum in Technical Report 69 (TR-69) offers the greatest potential for further increasing the speed by which deployments take place. With so much broadband communication technology available worldwide, are there other factors that should be considered to elongate DSL's hold on broadband into the future? We will attempt to consider the technology and the future of DSL by examining some of the historical advances that have led to DSL's existing success.","PeriodicalId":393914,"journal":{"name":"2007 Second International Conference on Access Networks & Workshops","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115172551","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}

TCP being an end-to-end protocol has performance problems as its behaviour depends on the end-to-end path characteristics which are likely to be affected by a vertical handoff. We propose a set of enhancements to the TCP sender algorithm that leverage on explicit cross-layer information regarding the change in the access link delay and bandwidth. We apply our enhanced algorithms and carry out a systematic study comparing the performance of the regular TCP to the performance of the enhanced TCP algorithms in various handoff scenarios between access networks having widely different bandwidth and delay characteristics. Our experiments show that with cross-layer notifications TCP performance can be improved significantly in most vertical handoff scenarios.","PeriodicalId":393914,"journal":{"name":"2007 Second International Conference on Access Networks & Workshops","volume":"67 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117034012","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}

In such a system, best-effort packets of variable size can render it impossible to guarantee QoS of the isochronous traffic. We propose a dynamic packet fragmentation method to integrate isochronous and best-effort traffic, in particular, fragmentation with fixed size or variable size frames.
