This paper presents a new heuristic algorithm useful for long-term planning of survivable WDM networks. A multi-period model is formulated that combines network topology design and capacity expansion. The ability to determine network expansion schedules of this type becomes increasingly important to the telecommunications industry and to its customers. The solution technique consists of a Genet...

Optimization mobile radio network planning is a very complex task, as many aspects must be taken into account. Deciding upon the optimum placement for the base stations (BS’s) to achieve best services while reducing the cost is a complex task requiring vast computational resource. This paper introduces the spatial clustering to solve the Mobile Networking Planning problem. It addresses antenna ...

Network planning in wireless communication systems, which has strong impacts on the system performance, is a complex and challenging issue. This paper investigates the network planning problem under high-speed railway communication scenarios. A system model is characterised in terms of distributed antenna technology. An optimisation problem is formulated to optimise the total system cost with t...

this paper proposes a new mathematical model for designing and planning postal parcels carriage and postal networks. the objective of postal network designing is to determine the location, size and connection between the postal stations in a city, province or country. in this paper, a kind of multiple locations-allocations hub problem with limited capacity in collecting, distributing and broadc...

We represent planning as a set of loosely coupled network flow problems, where each network corresponds to one of the state variables in the planning domain. The network nodes correspond to the state variable values and the network arcs correspond to the value transitions. The planning problem is to find a path (a sequence of actions) in each network such that, when merged, they constitute a fe...

This paper describes an application of genetic algorithms to telecommunications network planning. A description is given of passive optical networks (PONs), a form of optical bre network. These networks increase the diiculty of the network planning task as their topology is more complex than that of traditional copper cable based networks. Computer tools for network planning are increasingly be...

The planning of multi-service IP networks requires the consideration of many different and also diverse issues. Since Internet technology has been developed in a rather pragmatic way (“we believe in rough consensus and running code”), various approaches and concepts exist in most areas of networking, which are relevant for network planning (e.g., types of applications, routing schemes, Quality ...

This article presents the design of a system for monitoring temperature and humidity for the prevention of forest fires using wireless sensor networks. An initial study of the causes of Forest Fires, like how to prevent them is necessary have a clear idea of how to implement a valid network design that is capable of detecting possible changes in the environment, in that way we can prevent a dis...

In this paper an approach for coupling real-time control and socio-economic issues in participatory river basin planning is presented through a case study. It relies on the use of Bayesian Networks (Bns) to describe in a probabilistic way the behaviour of farmers within an irrigation district in response to some planning actions. Bayesian Networks are coupled with classical stochastic hydrologi...
