Grooming Telecommunications Network: Optimization Replicas and Techniques

Grooming Telecommunications Networks: Optimization Models and Methods

Grooming has emerged as an active area of research within the operations research and telecommunications fields and concerns the optimization of network transmissions that span multiple distinct transmission channels, protocols, or technologies. This study explores the meaning of grooming, the technical context in which it can be applied, and example situations. A new taxonomy captures key aspe...

Telecommunications and Network Security

The CIA TRIAD The following is how to preserve the CIA triad in the telecommunications and network security domain: Confidentiality – Network Security Protocols – Network authentication services – Data Encryption Services Integrity-Firewall Services-Communications Security Management-IDS's Availability-Fault tolerance for data availability, such as backups and redundant disk systems-Acceptable ...

A Real Option Approach to Telecommunications Network Optimization

We optimize network flow by minimizing network blocking and/or delay and by modeling network routing possibilities as real options. The uncertainties in the network are driven by stochastic point-to-point demands and we consider correlations among them in a general network structure. We derive an analytical approximation for the blocking/delay probabilities and solve the optimal network flows b...

Combinatorial Optimization in Telecommunications

Combinatorial optimization problems are abundant in the telecommunications industry. In this paper, we present four real-world telecommunications applications where combinatorial optimization plays a major role. The first problem concerns the optimal location of modem pools for an internet service provider. The second problem deals with the optimal routing of permanent virtual circuits for a fr...
