Many services that in the past were only offered by operators are now held by third parties through the cloud, which has caused a shift towards new business models at the expense of a more traditional market. Furthermore, these economic changes have conducted to socio-cultural transformations with great impact on the user’s behaviors. In this paper a cloud platform for the measurement and evaluation of the Quality of Experience (QoE) is presented. The platform is based in a model (QoXphere) that ensures the user satisfaction in terms of Quality of Service (QoS) and the provider economic benefits, as demanded in current market situation. In addition, the proposed cloud architecture intends to help in the advance of the work item recently opened in ITU-T to establish an ITU recognition procedure of testing laboratories with competence in ITU-T Recommendations by providing a unified cloud environment in which to validate them.","PeriodicalId":394466,"journal":{"name":"J.

Meanwhile, FSO communication has been regard as an attractive solution to bridging the gap between the wireless communications and optical fiber communications. However, a significant performance degradation in FSO communication system due to the atmospheric turbulence impairs the transmission performance improvement. FSO system employing the spatial diversity technique can be used to mitigate the effect of turbulence and improve the transmission performance. In this paper, a novel analytical approach is presented to evaluate the transmission performance of OFDM-FSO system with diversity reception considering effect of channel correlation.Adetailed mathematical model for OFDM-FSO system over turbulent channel modeled by correlated Log-normal distribution is provided. Then, We derive the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), bit error ratio (BER) and outage probability expressions taking into account the diversity combining schemes (i.e. MRC, EGC), effects of atmospheric turbulence, channel correlation and aperture size of receiver lens.

Terminals generally adopt flat rate tariff and the traffic is increasing rapidly. To solve this problem, new technology developments and new spectrum resource allocations and assignments are intensively executed. However in quite near future, traffic will overcome this action.This paper proposes the traffic offloading to microcells and give numerical guideline of offloading ratio that minimize the total radio base station cost under the existing spectrum resource allotment. First, offload guideline is derived based on the Japanese congested area case study in Shibuya ward, and this guideline is translated and generalized to global circumstances. Using the guideline, the required offloading year is calculated for the high population cities or wards in the world. From the results of the analyses, it is shown that the traffic offloading to microcell is necessary in near future. This result is valuable and inevitable to minimize increasing spectrum allotment to the existing mobile service. To monitor the offload ratio, it is better to analyze social bigdata and the carrier’s bigdata. In the final part, example of Draft Question for ITU-R is proposed.","PeriodicalId":394466,"journal":{"name":"J.
