Transport networks serving as backhaul for rural 3G femtocells have been specified in previous deliverables generated in TUCAN3G. These networks are initially planned based on the expected traffic generated to/from several rural access nodes, and the transport network planning ensures that all links offer a high enough capacity to bear the expected maximum throughput. However, the static situat...

This paper reviews key challenges in designing a transport network for 5G systems. Then it outlines how optics can contribute in solving some of them and which features the optical transport network shall be provided with. OCIS codes: (060.4256) Networks, network optimization; (060.2330) Fiber optics communications

Network optimization strategies are core ingredients of radio access network planning for second and third generation mobile systems like GSM and UMTS. We present a combined approach for network topology optimization of the UMTS terrestrial radio access network (UTRAN) which considers the logical network structure as well as transport network aspects. We focus on including Point-to-Multipoint (...

undoubtedly, sampling design is an important issue in monitoring of a water distribution network (wdn). the aim of the current paper which focuses on the localization of samplings, is to present a practical method for optimization of the position and number of the pressure measurements. this method works based on the assumption of some leakages in a network and searching for them by nodal press...

Bedload transport is an essential component of river dynamics and estimation of its rate is important to many aspects of river management. In this study, measured bedload by Helley- Smith sampler was used to estimate the bedload transport of Kurau River in Malaysia. An artificial neural network, genetic programming and a combination of genetic programming and a neural network were used to estim...
