The Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is widely used in various digital signal processing applications. The performance requirements for FFT in modern real-time applications has increased dramatically due to the high demand on capacity and performance of modern telecommunication systems, where FFT plays a major role. Software implementations of FFT running on a general purpose computer can no longer...

A gradual transition from electrical to optical networks is accompanying the rapid progress of telecommunication technology. The urge for enhanced transmission capacity and speed is dictating this trend. In fact, large volumes of data encoded on optical signals can be transported rapidly over long distances. Their propagation along specific routes across a communication network is ensured by a ...

Growing demand, increasing diversity of services, and advances in transmission and switching technologies are prompting telecommunication companies to rapidly expand and modernize their networks. This paper develops and tests a decomposition methodology to generate cost-effective expansion plans, with performance guarantees, for one major component of the network hierarchy-the local access netw...

Two phenomena can produce chattering: switching of input control signal and the large amplitude of this switching (switching gain). To remove the switching of input control signal, dynamic sliding mode control (DSMC) is used. In DSMC switching is removed due to the integrator which is placed before the plant. However, in DSMC the augmented system (system plus the integrator) is one dimension bi...

A telecommunication system like an ISDN network comprises a great variety of software components. It includes software for switches, the terminal equipment (like a simple telephone) but also for the management of resources and the provision of high level services like time dependent call forwarding. Software for telecommunication systems like other software must be fast, robust and easy to main...
