Optimization in telecommunication networks

Optimization in Telecommunication Networks

Network design and network synthesis have been the classical optimization problems in telecommunication for a long time. In the recent past, there have been many technological developments such as digitization of information, optical networks, internet, and wireless networks. These developments have led to a series of new optimization problems. This manuscript gives an overview of the developme...

Particle Swarm Optimization for Multi-constrained Routing in Telecommunication Networks

By our analysis, the QoS routing is the optimization problem under the satisfaction of multiple QoS constraints. The Particles Swarm Optimization (PSO) is an optimization algorithm which has been applied to finding shortest path in the network. However, it might fall into local optimal solution, and is not able to solve the routing based on multiple constraints. To tackle this problem, we propo...

A Survey of Ant Colony Optimization Algorithms for Telecommunication Networks

Optical and ad-hoc networks which fulfill the communications requirements of complex applications must meet the Quality of Service (QoS) demanded by these applications, such as transmission delay. These demands are hard to satisfy in the presence of unpredictable behavior in the environment such as interference, traffic congestion, etc. Algorithms based on Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) offer an...

Alarms correlation in telecommunication networks

Nowadays telecommunication systems are growing more and more complex, generating huge amount of alarms that cannot be effectively managed by human operators. The problematic is to detect in real-time significant combinations of alarms that describe an issue. In this article, we present a powerful heuristic algorithm that constructs alarm patterns dependency graphs. More precisely, it is able to...
