System Level Analysis and Performance Evaluation of Soft Switch Network in PTCL South Region
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, we present a thorough research to analyze the performance of the soft switches of PTCL (Pakistan Telecommunication Company Limited) in south region by taking real values from the operational systems and ratio of fault occurrence in soft switches. The major issues and shortcomings related to hardware of soft switches, network build up and protocols of SS (Soft Switch) are discussed. Performance characteristics of two soft switches (Pak Capital SS Vendor-A and Marston Rd SS Vendor-B) on the basis of key parameters including, System over view, System architecture, Hardware, Network built-up are analyzed. All parameters are compared with PTA (Pakistan Telecommunication Authority) standards and suggestions are provided to remove single point of failure to achieve 24x7 services available for the customers of PTCL. The conclusion drawn out of the research works, and suggestions provided will pave a path to increase the efficiency of soft switches, enrich the operation of the system, reduces the fault occurrence and complete isolation of the MGs/MSAN/MSAGs, improve the availability of the PTCL services to its customers and will enhance the image of the company for its valuable customers.

Design of Arrayed Waveguide Grating based Optical Switch for High Speed Optical Networks
This paper demonstrates the design of an Arrayed Waveguide Gratings (AWG) based optical switch. In the design both physical and network layer analysis is performed. The physical layer power and noise analysis is done to obtain Bit Error Rate (BER). This has been found that at the higher bit rates, BER is not affected with number of buffer modules. Network layer analysis is done to obtain perfor...

Traditional data envelopment analysis (DEA) models deal with measurement of relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) in which multiple-inputs consumed to produce multiple-outputs. One of the drawbacks of these models is neglecting internal processes of each system, which may have intermediate products and/or independent inputs and/or outputs. In this paper some methods which are usab...

متن کاملReliability and Performance Evaluation of Fault-aware Routing Methods for Network-on-Chip Architectures (RESEARCH NOTE)
Nowadays, faults and failures are increasing especially in complex systems such as Network-on-Chip (NoC) based Systems-on-a-Chip due to the increasing susceptibility and decreasing feature sizes. On the other hand, fault-tolerant routing algorithms have an evident effect on tolerating permanent faults and improving the reliability of a Network-on-Chip based system. This paper presents reliabili...

A fundamental problem is the use of DEA in multistep or multilevel processes such as supply chain, lack of attention to processes’ internal communications in a way that the recent studies on DEA in the context of serial processes have focused on closed systems that the outputs of one level become the inputs of the next level and none of the inputs enter the mediator process. The present study a...
