Network redimensioning (medium term planning) means to determine volume of telecommunication resources, necessary to serve given traffic offered taking into account the prescribe Quality of services (QoS). Two different network redimensioning methods are considered in this paper. The aim of the research is comparison between network redimensioning method, using ITU E.600 traffic offered definit...

Introduction Voice over IP (VoIP) has been characterised as the largest change to the telecommunication industry since the introduction of the Global System for Mobile Communication (GSM) 10 years ago. This statement is partly wrong. VoIP could be deployed as an alternative way to provide telephony with very little impact on the user experience. However, VoIP is an element of the transition fro...

Peering between network providers is modeled as a set of interconnections at hub nodes. The paper employs probabilistic methods to determine the likelihood of a path between nodes, under a variety of simulated disruptions or failures of parts of a network. Reliability is measured as the probability of withstanding failure of network components such as nodes or linkages. A reliability envelope i...

This paper designs a reliability distribution network with limited capacity under partial and complete facility disruptions. To increase the reliability of the distribution network, a new mixed integer linear programing model is developed by considering multiple mitigation strategies including diversification, fortification, and transshipment. The distribution network constitutes of reliable di...

Telecommunication networks have evolved over time as a result of technological advances, and network topologies and equipment have become increasingly complex. Expert systems are being successfully applied to the management of telecommunication networks. However, applying expert systems to network design is another especially beneficial yet still not very common approach. In this paper we propo...

The MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is based on a profile of the MPLS and Pseudowire (PW) procedures as specified in the MPLS Traffic Engineering (MPLS-TE), PW, and Multi-Segment Pseudowire (MS-PW) architectures developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). The International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) has specified a Transport Network ar...

The objectives of the paper is to review the conflicting requirements and needs of existing telecommunication network testing approaches, services and equipment, in order to provide a simple but powerful solution that allows automated and standardized testing activities. We present in the paper a progressive transition from the current proprietary practices, to a distributed and fully TMN compl...

As of late there has been an immense increase of data within modern society. This is evident within the field of telecommunications. The amount of mobile data is growing fast. For a telecommunication operator, this provides means of getting more information of specific subscribers. The applications of this are many, such as segmentation for marketing purposes or detection of churners, people ab...

Global telecommunication systems are built with extensive redundancy and complex management systems to ensure robustness. Fault identi cation and management of this complexity is an open research issue with which data mining can greatly assist. This paper proposes a hybrid data mining architecture and a parallel genetic algorithm (PGA) applied to the mining of Bayesian Belief Networks (BBN) fro...
