Radio access network planning and optimization of hybrid cellular and broadcasting systems

Design of DAB/DVB Based Multimedia Radio Networks for Mixed Broadcasting and Personal Services

| The introduction of personal services besides conventional broadcasting in DAB/DVB networks imposes new demands on the network architecture. The term \per-sonal service" means that some portion of the digital broadcasting bandwidth is reserved for transmitting information that is intended to only a limited number of users, or to only a single receiver. Examples for such services are the distr...

HSDRAN: Hierarchical Software-Defined Radio Access Network for Distributed Optimization

The drastic growth of mobile traffic greatly challenges the capacity of mobile infrastructures. Dense deployment of low-power small cells helps alleviate the congestion in the radio access network, yet it also introduces large complexity for network management. Software-defined radio access network has been proposed to tackle the added complexity. However, existing software-defined solutions re...

A Cluster-Based Hybrid broadcasting mechanism for Quantum Systems with Power Management and delay Constraint in the MAC sub-layer

Optimal design of supply chain network under uncertainty environment using hybrid analytical and simulation modeling approach

Models that aim to optimize the design of supply chain networks have gained more interest in the supply chain literature. Mixed-integer linear programming and discrete-event simulation are widely used for such an optimization problem. We present a hybrid approach to support decisions for supply chain network design using a combination of analytical and discrete-event simulation models. The prop...

A Novel Hybrid Whale Optimization Algorithm to Solve a Production-Distribution Network Problem Considering Carbon Emissions

Nowadays, there is a great deal of attention for regulations of carbon emissions to enforce the decision-makers of production and distribution networks to redesign their systems satisfactorily. The literature has seen a rapid interest in developing novel metaheuristics to solve this problem as a complicated optimization problem. Such difficulties motivate us to address a production-distribution...
