A number of models are being developed for the traffic, service and queuing in the emerging telecommunication networks. The task is rather difficult because the traffic is bursty and correlated. These models include the compound Poisson process (CPP), the Markov modulated Poisson process (MMPP) and self-similar traffic models such as the Fractional Brownian Motion (FBM). The CPP and the ∑K k=1 ...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new concept for telecommunication development. The IoT and things determinations are considering in accordance the ITU-T recommendations. The Ubiquitous sensor Network (USN) is one of the general IoT components. The traffic models for such network should be studied well. The USN traffic models study results for image applications are considered in this paper. T...

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 Internet traffic stemming from overlay-based applications, e.g., Peer-to-Peer applications, increases rapidly with the increase of available bandwidth of end-nodes. For today's Telecommunication Service Providers (telco) and Internet Service Providers (ISP) the issue arising is: how to control and manage network traffic stemming from overlay-based applications. As the structure of overlays ...

Traffic models are at the heart of any performance evaluation of telecommunication networks. An accurate estimation of network performance is critical for the success of broadband networks, which need to guarantee acceptable quality of service (QoS) to the users. A good traffic model should be accurate enough to capture the statistical characteristics of actual traffic, and at the same time sho...

The data traffic in wireless networks for the third generation (3G) mobile telecommunication systems should take into account a variety of services (voice, data, video) and environments (e.g.: private, outdoors, indoors) as well as the user mobility behavior. A good evaluation of measures of performance can help a system designer to make its strategic decisions concerning cell size and the numb...

Customer segmentation is one of the most important purposes of the customer base analysis for telecommunication companies. Since companies accumulate very large amount of data on costumer behavior, segmentation is typically achieved by profiling and clustering traffic behavior jointly with demographic data and contracts characteristics. Unfortunately most algorithms and models applied for segme...

Wireless networks are becoming more and more popular and traffic over the networks is growing rapidly. Because the network infrastructure is expanding at a quick pace, especially the wireless Internet growth , both in size and in the types of applications, the performance issue and dimensioning issue of networks are becoming more critical. New wireless data applications are emerging over mobile...

Telecommunications are strategic assets for the design and operation of train control systems based on automatic train protection to prevent errors due to the human factor. The ERTMS/ETCS train control system developed in Europe is considered a world-wide de facto standard. It utilizes a dedicated telecommunication network based on the GSM-R system. This approach is not economically sustainable...
