Most Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) research is based on a single channel. Nonetheless, multi-channel is an approach that can increase network capacity by transmitting traffic on different channels in an interference area. Channel assignment and channel switching, however, are two main challenges when the common communication channel is no longer available using the multi-channel scheme. We pr...

This dissertation investigates various areas of IP network planning for realtime services. These areas are traffic characterization, capacity assignment, robust network dimensioning, and network planning tool development. In regards to traffic characterization, various clients of realtime services are tested in different situations and their traffic is characterized using known models. Motivate...

Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have received a great deal of attention in overcoming traffic-associated problems by implementing online traffic management, which inevitably depends on the accurate dynamic traffic demand. Dynamic Traffic Demand is a fundamental input for simulation-based Dynamic Traffic Assignment (DTA) models to describe and predict traffic conditions on the network o...

In transportation modeling, after defining a road network and its origin-destination (OD) matrix, the next important question is how to assign traffic among OD-pairs. Nowadays, advanced traveler information systems (ATIS) make it possible realize user equilibrium solution. Simultaneously, with advent of Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems (C-ITS), solve assignment problem in system optimu...

Explosive growth of mobile users accesses large multimedia files (such as, high definition audio, video, images, etc.) over the Internet. Therefore, the bandwidth demand for mobile Internet access is increasing exponentially. To answer users demand, Carrier Aggregation is proposed in LTE-A. In Carrier Aggregation, multi bands are used and the bands have supported different ranges. Therefore mob...

Abstract. This paper looks at five mechanisms by which traffic-controlled intersections can interact within a longrange traffic forecast and explores the computational implications of each. These mechanisms apply to networks that can adapt to changing travel behaviors over a long period of time. One mechanism relates to user-optimal equilibrium traffic assignment, which is a prerequisite for th...
