Abstract:

In the two years 1989-1991 the environment of Poland's telecommunications was fundamentally transformed. This dissertation is an exploratory case study addressing four principal aspects of that country's changing telecommunications: (1) telecommunication regime or the structure of rules in which telecommunication systems function; (2) telecommunication services, defined as the means and methods of communicating from a distance by processing and relaying an electro-magnetic signal (categorized into telephone, mobile, data-messaging, information, data-carrier, and entertainment); (3) telecommunication equipment, or markets for switching, transmission and terminal equipment; and (4) telecommunication subscribers, or principal characteristics of the customer-base in the residential, professional, rural and urban market segments. Each aspect is examined for the purpose of capturing the on-going change. The dissertation identifies the principal agents of change and maps the new conditions onto the models developed by Cowhey and Aronson. Institutional pluralism, market competition, shortage alleviation and market restructuring have transformed Poland's telecommunication environment from the scarcity model to a version of the boutique model.

Abstract:

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.
Several factors affect the development of telecommunications policy in a country. These include government intervention, geography, alliances, and economic stability. By studying different countries, and comparing these factors and the rates of growth of each state, one can further understand the different levels of telecommunications development. This thesis will explore telecommunications policy, its success and failures, in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, where telecommunications has become a major source of jobs and economy due to foreign investments. Analysis of telecommunications policies, regulatory bodies, and agreements will be studied and compared to each country's rate of growth in the past 10 years. This thesis will provide recommendations for the successful implementation of regulatory policies in the named developing Caribbean nations. By examining the policies in these nations, this thesis will determine the effectiveness of the country's telecommunications policy. Additionally, the thesis will explore the influence of specific actors, such as corruption, nonenforcement of regulatory laws, lack of developed accounting and auditing systems, and the limitation of the government in developing policy.

Abstract:

Prior research on statewide educational telecommunications has focused on cataloging initiatives in various states, describing activities in individual states, or in exploring telecommunications policy from a planning-level perspective. In these studies, it is recognized that policies and implementation behaviors vary across individual states; however, a theoretical basis for how and why policy and implementation models differ among states has not been provided. Research also suggests that many states are moving toward the adoption of successful models from other states, and that there is a need for policy research to assist states in developing policies. This dissertation attempts to apply the systems perspective in organization theory (Thompson 1967; Mintzberg 1983) and concepts from political feasibility analysis (Meltsner 1972; Webber 1986) to qualitative data on educational telecommunications systems in three western states: Oregon, Colorado, and Utah. The research will provide descriptions of activities that can be referred to by state policy makers in evaluating the feasibility of adopting another state's planning model, and in developing their own policies. The research also will contribute to the growing literature on state policies and implementation models for distance education. The three states represent models of educational telecommunications systems prevalent in the U.S., and each differs in the level of statewide planning, governance, finance, and delivery of educational telecommunication represented by its model. Interviews with policy makers and practitioners in each state, combined with documentary evidence and prior research, provide descriptions of organizational responses to statewide policy and planning for distance education. Conclusions indicate that state policies are lagging behind technological change, and that variations in policy and planning among states result from constraints and contingencies imposed on institutions by contextual variables peculiar to each state. States that engage in careful planning for statewide telecommunications, taking into account the political culture, organizational behaviors, and historical relationships between higher education and state government, will have the greatest success in developing and implementing policies.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis analyses narratives associated with the development of public policy in telecommunications from the advent of telegraphy to Australia in 1854 to the end of 2000, with particular emphasis on concepts of universal service. The history of public policy development in telecommunications universal service obligations is analysed to gain an understanding of how different narratives are used to frame policy within particular material contexts. The study demonstrates that narratives in telecommunication development reflect national public policy agendas. In addition the thesis analyses how policy narratives are used to underwrite and legitimise assumptions, values and statements that influence the agendas and expectations of diverse social actors and interpretive communities. Furthermore, the thesis examines the interaction between policy narratives and the barriers and opportunities created by dynamic material environments such as economic, legislative and technological arenas. The study analyses five narratives that influence telecommunication policy and the agendas and expectations of diverse social actors and interpretive communities. National development, technocratic, rights, competition and charity narratives are used to frame different approaches to telecommunication policy, with particular reference to universal service. The study demonstrates how national development and competition narratives compete to dominate policy. Furthermore, diverse technocratic narratives provide scientific reinforcement to underwrite and legitimise the dominant narrative as well as discredit alternative perspectives. In addition, social rights and charity narratives respectively provide moral support to underwrite and legitimise national development and competition policy narratives. A key focus of this study is a narrative analysis of more than a thousand submissions to an independent inquiry in 2000 into telecommunication service levels with particular reference to universal service. The Telecommunications Service Inquiry was a forum that provided examples of the narratives analysed in this study from a cross-section of the Australian community. Submissions came from diverse social actors and institutions that included governments and state bodies, the telecommunication industry, unions, the farming industry, other business groups, community groups and individuals. The research demonstrates that changes in material environments and social expectations of universal service produce tensions within dominant narratives that require greater support from secondary narratives to provide scientific and moral legitimacy. Furthermore the research indicates that, in part, universal service policy functions to stabilise and legitimise the dominant policy narrative. However, the diverse social expectations associated with universal service produce continuing tensions within the dominant narrative that keep the policy in a state of flux. Consequently, government and industry policy makers find telecommunications policy a problematic area to reconcile with expectations of universal service.

Abstract:

This study explores how governments use knowledge to inform telecommunications policy-making and policy-implementation in regional development. It focuses on epistemological aspects and assumptions made within the parameters of Enlightenment thinking or the Newtonian paradigm, also known as the classical scientit1c paradigm. It argues that lmowledge formed within this paradigm, usually generated at a distance, has been individ,uated, detached, segmented and abstracted. 'Individuation' focuses on individuals and things rather than communities and processes. 'Detachment' separates the subjective mind from the objective environment to produce reliable information. 'Segmentation' produces validity of information by parsing the objective environment from its social and historical context. 'Abstraction' allows objectivity and systematisation of information. When used to inform policy, such knowledge creates a narrow 'standardising gaze' that 'disciplines' communities to conform to dominant social behaviour and beliefs. Case studies are used to demonstrate that the two major models of development, as products ofthis paradigm, employ this gaze rendering replicability difficult ifnot impossible. These models are the top-down and bottom-up approach that are epitomised by the Silicon Valley model and telecentre moveluent respectively. How this gaze inhibits/facilitates development in policy implementation is then examined in the Goldfields Esperance region in Western Australia. An holistic approach using cotnplex adaptive systems is used to understand the multidisciplinary aspects involved in development. This is combined with action research, a reflexive methodology. Action research has the ability to access local knowledge to provide data and evaluation in situ rather than on a post hoc basis. The findings demonstrate that complex systems analysis and action research provide a modus operandi that: a) recognises the interplay of various factors (such as power relations, economic cycle, social and political institutions) at different levels of the system; b) recognises time, context and path-dependence of regional development; c) provides a filter that minimises the 'standardising gaze' and d) gives an access to knowledge and insight to local issues, which can facilitate policy implementation of development that is sympathetic to regional communities.

Abstract:

Turkey is considering privatizing its telecommunications system. Any developing country must analyze whether its economic, social, and institutional environment is appropriate for the privatization of a utility. The purposes of this study are (1) to establish a model to assist policy makers, (2) to analyze whether Turkey meets the prerequisites for telecommunications privatization, and (3) to provide Turkish leaders pragmatic policy alternatives pertaining to privatization of the Turkish Telecommunications system.High inflation rate, weakness of the private sector and the lack of regulatory regime are the major impediments facing Turkey's privatization efforts. Turkey might consider several options including (1) not privatizing at all, (2) retaining public ownership of the network operations while privatizing only the physical equipment market, or (3) following the British privatization model.

Abstract:

This thesis defends the importance of a standardized designation for the principle of technological neutrality pertaining to the Next-Generation Network (NGN) migration within a competition regime. Renaming this as the principle of techno-economic neutrality would clearly demarcate its role as promoter of inter-technological competition as well as justify the necessity of grouping the three regulatory principles of technological neutrality, competition neutrality, and network neutrality followed by their integration into the World Trade Organisation (WTO) Reference Paper. The first part introduces the theoretical foundations to better define what it is and what it is not; the principle of techno-economic neutrality supports neither a total state non-intervention nor a progress reduced to a technical progress. The second part describes the parameters of the unanimous definition of the regulatory principle of techno-economic neutrality for the information and communication sectors considering competition and convergence. The triplets of neutrality would offer two guaranties: a regulatory burden balanced between the different suppliers of substitutable services and the emergence of an information and communication society protective of democratic values.

Full text

Abstract:

On December 11, 2001, the People's Republic of China officially joined the World Trade Organisation (WTO). More than 15 years after it had announced the resumption of its status as a contracting party, the country that had since then become one of the largest telecommunication market in the world, would finally abide by a set of internationally defined norms and rules. In the course of the WTO accession, its telecommunication sector has undergone an extensive reform process, introducing competition and the foundation of a legislative framework. Yet, China's telecommunication commitments have been notably weaker than those negotiated in other service sectors. The restructuring of the telecommunications sector - which started along the lines of global liberalisation programmes - could have been buttressed by the accession to the WTO. It was however shaped and blocked by diverse interests emanating from the fragmented Chinese political structure and resulted in an environment fraught with substantive regulatory issues. This thesis seeks to answer two inter-related questions: why did the government fail to reform in-depth the telecommunication sector and what mediated the impact the WTO accession process had on the sector's reform. It argues that the Chinese government's failure to create a regulatory regime to implement a policy of telecommunication liberalisation represents essentially a problem of institutional change. The thesis demonstrates that the bargaining approach to policy-making in the telecommunication sector has allowed, and even facilitated, the first stage of reforms but that it is ill-suited for participation in a supranational framework.

Abstract:

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Sloan School of Management, Technology, Management, and Policy Program, 2001.
Includes bibliographical references (leaves [149]-158).
This thesis hypothesized that extensive telecommunications liberalization would not increase the penetration rate of the fixed telephone service better than other, less competition-oriented, policy alternatives. The hypothesis was validated in the case of Thailand and the Philippines. However, for the cellular mobile telephone and Internet services, extensive telecommunications liberalization could increase the penetration rates better than other, less competition-oriented, policy alternatives. Thus, the thesis demonstrates that past research has not paid sufficient attention to this issue and has assumed that the more extensive reform could lead to the faster and the better telecommunications development of all telecommunication services. The thesis suggested that less-developed countries (LDCs) should realize that they do not have to fully implement liberalization reforms, but should instead specifically tailor their telecommunications reform policies to their own pace and needs. This study found that extensive liberalization reforms or extensive opening of the market does not necessarily increase penetration rates of services better than other less competition-oriented policy alternatives under the following conditions: Assuming that the services have not yet reached their saturation levels based on the S-curve,
(cont.) 1. Users perceive the service as a necessity; and 2. the government perceives the service as a basic necessity; and 3. the government strictly commits and implements purposeful policies with the intention of increasing penetration rates of the services through the distribution of service provision authority. Or, 4. If the liberalization is implemented after the saturation level of the service is reached. The thesis results have the policy implication that liberalization can be a useful and effective alternative to lead to higher penetration rates, when and only if, the country and its people understand its goals, effects and implications and, more importantly, when the government provides the policy framework for universal service for the benefits of its people so that the liberalization can lead to self-sustainable development.

Full text

Abstract:

This thesis analysed the existing power structures and control of telecommunications in Australia. The analysis of telecommunications legislation and policy revealed that existing legislation regulates the marketplace. It also limits and protects the ownership, provision and maintenance of telecommunications facilities in Australia to three carriers - Telecom, OTC and Aussat. A trend toward government inquiries was identified fu~ther centralising control over the Australian telecommunications system. It was further identified that government inquiries restrict the remaining stakeholders' access to policy formation. Policy restates legislative content and therefore reinforces marketplace control to the three carriers. In this thesis, power theories were applied in the analysis of relationships between telecommunications stakeholders. This analysis revealed that the three carriers use monopolistic and authoritative forms of power to dominate the marketplace while remaining stakeholders e.g. general public, excluding the A.T.E.A., fail to realise or use their collective power. Findings from both legislative and policy analyses and power theory analysis supported the hypothesis of this thesis - Australia's telecommunications legislation and carrier industry strategy contributes to their domination over remaining stakeholders. Research into overseas systems of telecommunications control revealed alternative models to the existing.Australian model. Based on overseas systems, an alternative publicly regulated, privately owned model has been developed to encourage further discussion.

Abstract:

This dissertation analyzes global telecommunications liberalization in the context of the transition to an economy and society based on the production, use and exchange of information. It examines the role of the ITU and the WTO in that process and addresses the question of the extent to which globalization and telecommunications liberalization can contribute to development in an increasingly unequal world. It also studies in detail the shift in the institutional regime of telecommunications in Venezuela, whose Telecommunications Bill is analyzed in light of the regulatory principles outlined in the Reference Paper and Venezuela's commitments under the Fourth Protocol to the General Agreement on Trade in Services (GATS). We provide recommendations aimed at adapting the regulatory framework that is currently being discussed to new global market realities without ignoring Venezuela's development concerns and regulatory capabilities.

Full text

Abstract:

This project examines the engagement of Canadian arts and culture organizations with telecommunication policy at two Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) hearings held in 2009. The thesis argues that during the Broadcasting in New Media hearing arts organizations added a new set of issues to their historically content-centric advocacy concerns and began engaging with policy that regulates carriage. At the second hearing, the Review of the Internet Traffic Management Practices of Internet Service Providers, these groups in their comments and presentations to the regulator directly address the design, implementation and technical functioning of telecommunication technologies. The thesis proposes a typology of Canadian arts and culture organizations and gives an account of their history of communication and cultural policy advocacy. Using a Science and Technology Studies and Actor-Network Theory oriented definition of technology the project shows that the participation by these groups in formal policy-making forums on internet governance issues is supplemented by other productive modes of engagement with information and communication technologies (ICTs). This thesis gives examples of these organizations integrating ICTs in their work and argues that such practices effectively produce and re-define the internet. Canadian arts and culture organizations would gain from adopting an understanding of ICTs that reflects their mutually constitutive and co-productive relationship. The thesis concludes that to become more empowered in both their practices and in policy decision-making arts and culture organizations should define telecommunication infrastructure as a material agent and participant.
Ce projet examine l'engagement d'organismes culturels Canadiens avec les politiques de télécommunication lors de deux audiences publiques au Conseil de la Radiodiffusion et des Télécommunications Canadiennes (CRTC) en 2009. Le mémoire argumente que durant l'audience sur La Radiodiffusion Canadienne par les Nouveaux Médias ces organismes ont ajouté de nouvelles problématiques aux intérêts, historiquement centrés sur le contenu, qu'ils défendent et ont commencé à plaidoyer les politiques qui gèrent le transport des données. Lors de la seconde audience, l'Examen des Pratiques de Gestion du Trafic Internet des Fournisseurs de Services Internet, ces organismes ont adressé directement le design, l'implémentation et le fonctionnement technique des technologies de la télécommunication dans leurs commentaires et présentations au Conseil. Le mémoire propose une typologie des organismes culturels Canadiens et résume leurs antécédents en défense des politiques culturelles et des communications. En utilisant une définition de la technologie orientée par les Études des Sciences et Technologies ainsi que de la théorie de l'acteur-réseau le projet démontre que la participation de ces groupes aux forums officiels d'élaboration des politiques de gouvernance internet est complétée par d'autres modes productifs d'interaction avec les technologies d'information et de communication (TIC). À l'aide d'exemples d'intégration des TIC par ces organismes dans leur travail le mémoire fait valoir que de telles pratiques produisent et contribuent à la redéfinition de l'internet. Les organismes culturels du Canada gagneraient à adopter une définition des TIC qui reflète leur relation mutuellement constitutive et co-productive. Le mémoire conclut que les infrastructures de télécommunication doivent être comprises comme étant des acteurs matériels et des participants afin de renforcer et responsabiliser les pratiques et la défense de politiques de ces organismes.

Abstract:

A little over 10 years ago the Mexican government privatized Telefonos de Mexico, S.A. (Telmex), the telecommunications monopoly that had dominated the market since 1948 and had become a government-owned company in 1976. This thesis focuses on the company's privatization and on the regulatory framework that resulted, analyzing the achievement of the objectives set with the purpose of liberalizing the market and opening it to competition and foreign investors.
The main issues addressed are the regulatory framework of Mexican telecommunications, the players involved, interconnection of their networks, foreign investment in Mexican telecommunications, licensing of radio frequencies, rate regulation, universal service obligations, and the international scenario in liberalization of trade in telecommunication services and the relating international instruments, insofar as they relate to the Mexican experience.

Abstract:

This thesis analyses the current regulatory regimes in the European Union---in particular Germany---and the United States governing the authorization of global mobile personal communications by satellite (GMPCS).
Current satellite licensing regimes fail to take into account the international character of satellite telecommunications. The reliance on a national public interest standard does not properly address the interests of the community of states, industry and consumers and is not suitable to meet the aspirations of international space law. The international harmonization of frequencies and international standardization are indispensable for the introduction of these new services. The establishment of an international communications regulator with the power to adopt binding decisions if required is the most suitable way to address these problems. However, the development of an international public interest standard with clear policy objectives will be hard to achieve.
With regard to the different aspects of ground segment licensing, a gradual approach is the best way to balance the different interests and concerns in this field. The International Telecommunications Union GMPCS MoU and the development of European regulations show a feasible way to achieve a regulatory regime that facilitates the introduction of these new services. Lighter regulations, possibly the introduction of one stop shopping procedures, mutual recognition of licenses and the introduction of general authorizations are measures that can and should be taken at the international level. The interdependence of earth and space segment licensing may lead to the understanding that some aspects of earth segment licensing should also be regulated at international level.
The question will be whether States, industry and users are able to reconcile their interests and the sometimes opposing trends of international cooperation and international competition for the benefit of "all mankind".

Abstract:

This masters thesis analyzes telecommunications policies in Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay, and relates these to the ongoing economic integration of these countries within MERCOSUR. To this end, a survey of the telecommunications sector in each of the MERCOSUR countries, depicting the main features of their respective regulatory framework, competition policy, and universal service goals is provided in Part II. Part III briefly describes the GATS/BTA framework and comments on MERCOSUR countries' commitments towards market liberalization. In Part IV, MERCOSUR's legal and institutional framework, along with the common initiatives that have been taken with respect to the telecommunications sector, are considered. By way of conclusion, Part V proposes further reflections on theoretical approaches aimed at framing telecommunications normativity in consideration of its dynamic interaction with globalization and integration in the context of MERCOSUR.

Abstract:

The digitalization of communication technologies, with the Internet as a catalyst, has radically altered the business models and industrial structures of the media and telecommunication industries. These technological and industrial developments have driven regulatory reform in the communication sectors towards regulatory convergence. However, silo regulatory models, that distinctly govern the media and telecommunication sectors, continue to be enacted in many countries globally, including Indonesia. This study focuses on efforts taken to regulate industrial convergence in the Indonesian media, telecommunication and Internet sectors, which to date has not been thoroughly studied. It examines a series of policies proposed by the Indonesian executive and legislature between the period of 2009 and 2015, including the Telematics Convergence Bill, the amendment of the Broadcasting Law and Ministerial Regulations on digital TV migration. Following a qualitative research tradition, this research conducted interpretive policy analysis. Primary data was gathered from semi-structured interviews with figures of regulatory bodies and relevant policy documents related to the Indonesian media, telecommunication and Internet sectors. Meanwhile, secondary data was gathered from academic and empirical literature. This research poses questions: What problems or issues of industrial convergence are considered as critical in the proposed policies? How are these problems or issues going to be regulated? What problems or issues have been overlooked? How do the proposed policies address the issues of public interest, competition, media diversity and universal services as the main regulatory concerns related to industrial convergence? Finally, what factors have inhibited the policy process of the proposed policies? The findings suggest the policies that have been proposed to respond to industrial convergence in Indonesian tend to target the emerging new players and protect the existing incumbents. Through licensing mechanisms, new business opportunities, such as multiplexing business, have been won by mostly incumbents. Emerging new players are positioned in policy so as to further economically benefit the incumbents. With these policy directions, the status quo in the Indonesian media and telecommunication industries is sustained. With a lack of concern about cross-industry (vertical) expansions, we are witnessing increased ownership concentration in the Indonesian media, telecommunication and Internet sectors. In addition, there is a lack of commitment from both the government and the parliament to establish a single independent regulatory agency governing the Indonesian communication sectors. While the parliament opts to maintain the currently segmented regulatory bodies, the government aims to gain even more control over the Indonesian communication sectors through the Ministry of Communication and Informatics. In summary, the findings of this study confirm that bureaucratic and political factors have been the main obstacles to regulatory reform towards regulatory convergence in Indonesia.

Abstract:

Commercialization of space activities particularly harnessing satellites for telecommunication in the 1970's is perhaps the most dynamic development of the twentieth century comparable only to the industrial revolution of the seventeenth century. The possibilities of civilian applications of satellite technology confined to its military use until the recent past has raised urgent questions of policy and regulations both nationally and internationally.
The main objective of the thesis is to review the development of satellite telecommunication with particular reference to India. The thesis assesses the present access status and the regulatory regime, analyzes general challenges of deregulation including concerns of national security, fair competition, equal opportunity for service providers and manufacturers and above all consumer protection. It examines the how the Canadian CRTC and American FCC are addressing the current challenge posed by rapid technological developments and consequent convergence of telecommunications and broadcasting as well as lessons India could learn from the Canadian and American experiences. Finally suggestions are made for a possible logical direction for India's future telecom policy, in particular and the commercialization of space activities, in general.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Title: Working Capital Management in Telecommunication sector: A case study of VGC telecoms Author: Gbenga Segun Akinwande Supervisor: Anders Hederstierna Department: School of Management, Blekinge Institute of Technology Course: Master’s thesis in business administration, 15 credits (ECTS). Background and Problem Discussion: The efficient management of working capital is very vital for a business survival. This is premised on the fact having too much working capital signifies inefficiency, whereas too little cash at hand signifies that the survival of business is shaky. Purpose: The purpose of this research is to study the working capital management in the small and medium scale businesses, using VGC Telecoms Company as a case study, so as to establish factors influencing working capital performance; examine how cash management, inventory management and trade credit management affects working capital management; company effectiveness in converting working capital to ready money; how working capital management impacts on the problem of slow development and to offer recommendations on possible ways of improving working capital management Method: Literatures bordering on different areas of working capital management were reviewed. Thus, this research employed qualitative and quantitative analysis; and semi- structured questions were drafted based on the issues raised from the review of various literatures. In addition, materials from journal articles, textbooks, working papers and industry practitioners are put into consideration. The use of internet and e-mails to send out questions were explored where appropriate. Analysis on the company’s financial statement was carried out in order to verify my findings. Theory: In this research, the theory section looks at various concepts that come up when analyzing the consequences of working capital management for company value and the factors that influence a company’s working capital management performance. I have therefore chosen the most common concept for the theory section. I have also tried to create a theoretical understanding for the company’s sensitivity to a workable WCM policy Analysis: In the analysis of the research findings, I employed qualitative approach to the data analysis whereby the impacts of the poor WCM on the company were discussed in depth. Conclusion: The findings corroborate the postulation of Weston et al that a company’s investment in working capital is a substantial percentage of its total investment. In case of VGC Telecoms, it is as high as 65 percent. An inefficient and ineffective management of this investment will result in slow pace of development and ultimately to the business failure. The performances of the company in the different spheres of working capital management were scored as follows:- • Cash management – 65.4 percent • Inventory management - 78.6 percent • Trade credit management and financing decisions - 60.0 percent This is an average performance of 68 percent. That is, the company’s performance is above average. This is a good performance. The financial statements as interpreted reinforce the validity of this result. The liquidity ratios are high; the collection period is short; and the cash cycle is not quite expansive. This makes it possible to sustain sufficient cash flow for the smooth running of the business. The management of working capital impacts on liquidity, investment portfolio and profitability. All these three factors are decisive in the growth or failure of a business. Hence, good performances in working capital management affects these decisive factors favourably and thus, contribute to growth and success of the business.

Abstract:

A dissertation submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science (Computer Science) Department of Computer Science, Faculty of Science and Agriculture, University of Zuluand, 2007.
With the rapid development of new applications, comes the drive to modify the current Internet to accommodate real-time multimedia applications. The current Internet uses a single queue per output port to buffer packets destined for that port. This often causes congestion leading to packet loss and delay. Real-time applications are delay and Joss sensitive. Therefore, there is a need to develop a buffer management system that will effectively accommodate both real-time and non-real-time applications. In an attempt to efficiently allocate and manage output buffers of a router in the fixture Internet, in this research we have developed a buffer management scheme known as Dynamic Threshold Buffer Allocation Scheme (DTBAS). This scheme uses complete sharing with virtual partitioning. Pre-emption (i.e. removal of queued packets) is used to minimise congestion of high priority packets. Dynamic thresholds are used to determine the start and end of pre-emption. To further alleviate the congestion of high priority (real-time) packets, high priority OUT-packets are randomly dropped during the pre-emption period. To add some fairness to the scheme, low priority (non-real-time) packets are assigned a minimum buffer volume. Simulation was conducted to evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme. The scheme was also compared with the Complete Sharing and Complete Partitioning schemes. It was found that DTBAS had the lowest average packet loss rate for real-time applications compared to other schemes. It was also found that DTBAS efficiently utilises its buffer space.
