The fitting procedure follows the method detailed in Clauset et al. 1. This vignette gives examples of the fitting procedure. The Moby Dick dataset contains the frequency of unique words in the the novel Moby Dick by Herman Melville. The data set can be downloaded...

Field Evaluation of a 4G “True-IP” network

This article presents field evaluation results of an IP-based architecture for heterogeneous environments, covering UMTS-like TD-CDMA (Time Division-Code Division Multiple Access) wireless access technology, wireless and wired LANs, that has been developed under the aegis of the IST Moby Dick project. The architecture treats all transmission capabilities as basic physical and data-link layers, ...

The Moby Dick Project: a Mobile Heterogeneous All-ip Architecture

This paper presents the current stage of an IP-based architecture for heterogeneous environments, covering UMTS-like W-CDMA wireless access technology, wireless and wired LANs, that is being developed under the aegis of the IST Moby Dick project. This architecture treats all transmission capabilities as basic physical and data-link layers, and attempts to replace all higher-level tasks by IP-ba...
