Telecommunication systems are becoming increasingly complex. This is due to the size and heterogeneity of such systems, as well as to the complex interaction among network elements. In telecommunication system, wireless networks have witnessed tremendous development. Presently, the field of wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is an important and challenging research area. Advancements in sensor net...

In telecommunication networks, a common measure is the maximum congestion (i.e., utilisation) on edge capacity. As traffic demands are often known with a degree of uncertainty, network management techniques must take into account traffic variability. The oblivious performance of a routing is a measure of how congested the network may get, in the worst case, for one of a set of possible traffic ...

Telecommunication and network systems have become more complex in recent years. Routing and optimal path finding are some of the important network problems. Traditional routing methods are not capable to satisfy new routing demands. Swarm intelligence is a relatively new approach to problem solving which provides a basis with which it explores problem solving without providing a global model. A...

This paper introduces AntNet, a new routing algorithm for telecommunication networks. AntNet is an adaptive, distributed, mobile-agents-based algorithm which was inspired by recent work on the ant colony metaphor. We apply AntNet in a datagram network and compare it with both static and adaptive state-ofthe-art routing algorithms. We ran experiments for various paradigmatic temporal and spatial...

In the design of telecommunication networks, decisions concerning capacity installation and routing of commodities have to be taken simultaneously. Network Loading problems formalize these decisions in mathematical optimization models. Several variants of the problem exist: bifurcated or non-bifurcated routing, bidirected or unidirected capacity installation, and symmetric versus non-symmetric ...

Many efforts have been made to manage homogenous B-ISDN networks across multiple domains. However, less effort has been made for hybrid BISDN network management. The ACTS MISA(Management of Integrated SDH and ATM networks) project addresses the issue of hybrid ATM and SDH management, aiming to automate the end-to-end GBC (Global Broadband Connectivity) service in the integrated ATM and SDH netw...

Most of today's telecommunication systems are configured and controlled by central management systems. During the operation a permanent monitoring of the network takes place to detect breakdowns of nodes and links and to control necessary re-configuration tasks. Administrative procedures are done automatically by appropriate algorithms only in some cases. Communication networks are still increa...

The key requirement to routing in any telecommunication network, and especially in Internet-of-Things (IoT) networks, is scalability. Routing must route packets between any source and destination in the network without incurring unmanageable routing overhead that grows quickly with increasing network size and dynamics. Here we present an addressing scheme and a coupled network topology design s...

The growth in use of Internet-based applications in recent years has led to telecommunication networks transporting an increasingly large amount of Internet Protocol (IP)-based traffic. Proposed broadband satellite constellation networks, currently under development, will be required to transport IP traffic. A case can be made for implementing IP routing directly within the constellation networ...

The field of wireless communication networks has thus been a keen area of research in the last decade. One of the crucial parameter for efficient operation of any wireless network is the routing algorithm. Advances in electronics and telecommunication industry in the last few decades have tremendously increased the use of wireless communication systems. However the choice of the routing algorit...
