Social Network Analysis (SNA) is a set of research procedures for identifying group of people who share common structures in systems based on the relations among actors. Grounded in graph and system theories, this approach has proven to be powerful measures for studying networks in various industries like Telecommunication, banking, physics and social world, including on the web. Since Telecomm...

Synchronization plays an important role in telecommunication systems, integrated circuits, and automation systems. Formerly, the masterslave synchronization strategy was used in the great majority of cases due to its reliability and simplicity. Recently, with the wireless networks development, and with the increase of the operation frequency of integrated circuits, the decentralized clock distr...

A new type of broadband access system is proposed for providing high-quality, bandwidth-upon-demand telecommunication services to the home and office. Communication terminals attach to the network via short radio links, and users can roam freely within a house or building unencumbered by the availability of wired “telecommunications outlets.” Basic service is extended through small, high-capaci...

One of the principal phases in the design process of the information systems is the performance evaluation of these systems. Queuing networks and Markov chains are commonly used for performance and reliability evaluation of computer, communication, and systems manufacturing. In the context of this work, this phase of analysis is based on a mathematical modelling and resolution in terms of Marko...

The dimensioning of telecommunication networks that carry elastic traffic requires the fulfillment of two conflicting goals: maximizing the total network throughput and providing fairness to all flows. Fairness in telecommunication network design is usually provided using the so-called max-min fairness (MMF) approach. However, this approach maximizes the performance of the worst (most expensive...

Global telecommunication networks and services are among the enterprises having the highest volumes of real-time data. A voice network may complete more than 250 million calls per day. Each is described by one or more events, yielding a total of tens of gigabytes of data daily. Wireless, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), frame relay, Internet Protocol (IP) networks and higher-level services on ...

The introduction of SONET technology opens o p portunities for survivable network architectures, such as selfhealing rings, which can improve telecommunication reliability. This paper presents an algorithm for routing fiber around a ring in a network, when the network nodes, links, connectivity, and which offices are to be placed on that ring together are known. The algorithm aids automated sur...
