Del, Monte Sara. « Diffusione della banda larga : fattori di sviluppo e regolazione ». Doctoral thesis, Universita degli studi di Salerno, 2014. http://hdl.handle.net/10556/1865.
Texte intégralLa banda larga è un fattore fondamentale per lo sviluppo della società dell’informazione. Nei paesi sviluppati si assiste ad una rapida crescita della larga banda, ma mentre il numero di nuovi sottoscrittori alla banda larga fissa si è quasi arrestato, quello relativo alla banda larga mobile sta crescendo molto rapidamente. In questo lavoro, utilizzando un panel di dati relativi ai 27 Stati membri dell’Unione europea, ha analizzato i fattori che determinano la diffusione della banda larga fissa e quelli che determinano la diffusione della banda larga mobile. Per quanto riguarda le variabili utilizzate per individuare i fattori che influenzano la diffusione della banda larga fissa, l’analisi econometrica mostra che il livello di prodotto pro-capite ha un impatto positivo, statisticamente significativo e quantitativamente rilevante sulla diffusione del servizio, mentre non risulta significativo il livello di istruzione. La quota di mercato dell’incumbent, usata come proxy della politica del unbundling del local loop, non è mai risultata significativa, a conferma la non elevata efficacia della concorrenza intramodale sulla diffusione della larga banda fissa. Invece, la variabile DSL che rappresenta la percentuale linee DSL sul totale delle linee a banda larga fissa attive, quali una proxy della concorrenza fra piattaforme, è invece risultata sempre significativa. Per quanto riguarda la variabile prezzo, i nostri risultati relativamente al prezzo del servizio di larga banda fissa sono conformi a molti lavori empirici che non trovano un’associazione negativa fra il prezzo e la diffusione della banda larga fissa. Per quanto riguarda la diffusione della banda larga mobile, le stime ottenute evidenziano la significatività di due variabili non considerate in molti lavori: la penetrazione della telefonia cellulare e la copertura 3G del territorio. Quindi, non è tanto la densità della popolazione, come a volte si sostiene, ad influire sulla diffusione della larga banda mobile quanto la copertura del territorio con tecnologie adeguate. La copertura con tecnologie adeguate – fattore che dipende dalle politiche seguite – è quindi una variabile molto più importante della densità della popolazione per quanto riguarda la diffusione della banda larga mobile. Infine, la non significatività del prezzo del servizio di banda larga fissa evidenzia che i due servizi di larga banda appartengono a due mercati differenti. Da questi risultati si può concludere in primo luogo che i due servizi a banda larga fissa e banda larga mobile si trovano in mercati differenti, in secondo luogo che la concorrenza fra piattaforme è più efficace della concorrenza politica all’interno della piattaforma per la diffusione della larga banda fissa. Infine, in particolare per quanto riguarda la banda larga mobile i risultati ottenuti indicano l’esigenza di attuare politiche a favore dell’educazione e politiche che incentivino gli investimenti nelle reti 4G e che possono incrementare la diffusione.

Texte intégralThis thesis introduces a class of epidemic diffusion models specifically tailored to the description and analysis of ICT technologies, by defining a dynamic potential market that depends on the network size of the number of individuals who have already adopted. Compared to traditional “stand alone” products, ICT technologies have peculiar characteristics and different adoption behaviours that can be explained by network effects and externalities. After an overview of the state of the art of the literature on the diffusion of innovations and on networks (chapter 1), the theoretical work is presented (chapter 2). Here, we carry out a systematic functional study leading to the construction of a class of new models, to their parameterization and analysis in comparative statics, and finally simulation. The basic Bass model, which assumes a fixed potential market, is taken as a reference for comparisons, beside being the backbone of our class of models. From the simulations, it emerges that our class of models is able to describe the network effects (and externalities) and their role in shaping the diffusion of such technologies. In chapter 3, we test the capability of this class of models to explain empirically, with market data, the historical ICT diffusion paths, trying to derive useful implications for the policy-maker (for example, in the realm of contemporary digital agendas). This chapter features the NLS econometric estimation of the previous models, taking as a reference the real diffusion paths of broadband technologies in selected EU countries: in particular, we focus on the ITU time series of fixed broadband subscriptions of the "five big" European countries. The econometric estimates confirm that our class of models provides an original analytical and empirical instrument for capturing and stylizing the network phenomena that dominate the diffusion paths of the main telecommunications and media markets, such as fixed broadband. As such, it also enables a series of future policy evaluation exercises.

Texte intégralIn resonance region, the radar scattering response of any object can be modelled by poles of resonance. The mapping of these poles in the complex plane gives useful information for the discrimination of a radar target, as its general shape, its characteristic dimension and its constitution. This thesis presents several studies such as: an analysis of the resonant behaviour of targets with the quality factor, a procedure for selecting the poles that actually contribute to the scattering response, the determination of characteristic dimensions of targets with the resonance poles, the characterisation of dielectric targets, etc

Texte intégralAs part of this thesis several studies will be presented. The first presentes the problem of preservation of information in a Brillouin amplification process. The second focuses on the achievement of a Brillouin amplifier with a broad bandwidth. The last part concerns the achievement of Brillouin lasers of high coherence. An experimental study of the transition between Brillouin generator and Brillouin amplifier in a state of saturation is performed. It highlights the transfer of energy from the generator to the probe. We have proven that even in a regime of powerful generator, the spectral qualities of the probe are preserved when the resonance is reached. The qualities of the Brillouin amplifier lead us in a second part to try to increase its bandwidth as narrow band gain is a limitation for many applications, especially in the field of telecommunications. We explore the possibility of working with a large-band pump to achieve broad band amplification. We prove a bandwidth above 10 GHz. We demonstrate a monomode laser, with a spectral width below one kHz, stable in frequency and intensity, in which the threshold is reached by commercial DFB laser diodes. The set-up is compact, robust and cost effective. The cavity can also be used separately, ie without pump assigned, to applications of spectral narrowing or filtering. Finally, the application of the device to spectral characterization of coherent lasers is proved and discussed

Texte intégralThe actual trend in the IT (Information Technology) market is to create a new environment that will enable end-users to access a variety of services (TV/Radio programs, Internet, Multimedia applications, Games. . . ), wherever they are, whenever they want and whatever terminal they use. The heterogeneous networks basically come from three worlds: the Telecommunication world, the Broadcasting world and the Internet world. This cross-industry synergy is jointly driven by the tremendous growing interest to Internet services and the planned adoption of the Digital SwitchOver (DSO) in UHF, enabling broadband terrestrial digital broadcasting infrastructures (e. G. DVB-T). To this end, we propose a broadband wireless metropolitan area network architecture that utilises the DVB-T stream in regenerative configurations for creating a multi-service capable infrastructure in the UHF/VHF band. Within this mixed context, an important issue arises concerning the management of resources between IP and DTV services. Towards this, we present an approach based on an interactive Dynamic Bandwidth Management System, with prediction functionalities and using adaptive filtering techniques for optimal provisioning of IP and Digital TV services

Texte intégralThis work is concerned with the characterisation of the sea bottom by means of a constant beamwidth wideband sonar. The originality of this work is: firstly, the development of an experimental wideband sonar system which transmits linear chirp signal (20-140 kHz). Secondly, modelization, identification and classification methods adapted to the bottom backscattering signals have been developed. In the first part, backscattered signals from 5 types of bottoms have been analyzed by the ambiguity function. The performances of the wideband ambiguity function and the narrow band ambiguity function are compared for the chirp signal, and the relationship with the time-frequency representations is presented. In the second part, la distribution of the bottom backscattered energy is analyzed in the time-frequency plane which permits to consider the acoustic diffusion phenomena. In order to improve the comprehension of the Wigner time-frequency representation, we propose an original time-frequency representation adapted to chirp. The comparison with other Cohen's class representations shows the improvement given by our method. At last, in the third part, a rough surface backscattering model is developed. We have shown that the statistical average of the impulse response is a convolution between the impulse response of a plane and the probability density function of the roughness. A roughness estimation method is therefore proposed. This model is well adapted to sand, gravel, and pebbles bottoms. For the silt bottom, a volume backscattering model is developed. In each situation, the results of the estimation are compared with the geotechnical analysis
Denis, Benoît. « Exploitation des capacites de radiolocalisation des transmissions ultra-large bande dans les reseaux sans-fil ». Rennes, INSA, 2005. https://tel.archives-ouvertes.fr/tel-00508437.
Texte intégralMany recent applications rely on the capability of communication means in delivering location information. Hence, the properties of the Ultra Wideband (UWB) radio technology can be exploited: resolution, fine temporal precision enabling Time Of Flight estimation and synchronization. . . The proposed work addresses the UWB localization problem in wireless networks, emphasizing multipath diversity, modern network embodiments (ad hoc), or the a priori knowledge. The errors affecting times (or time differences) of arrival are modelled. These errors can be independent of the physical layer or can result from severe propagation conditions. The detection performance of low-complexity UWB receivers is also evaluated. Then, we recommend the use of positioning or tracking techniques adapted to non-line of sight situations. Finally, some experimental results obtained in the lower band are provided and allow us to illustrate some of the discussed points
Sakr, Georges. « Etude par cathodoluminescence de la diffusion et du confinement des excitons dans des hétérostructures ZnO/ZnMgO et diamant 12C/13C ». Thesis, Versailles-St Quentin en Yvelines, 2015. http://www.theses.fr/2015VERS011V/document.
Texte intégralThis work focuses on the determination of the carrier diffusion length in two wide bandgap semiconductors: the ternary alloy ZnMgO and diamond. This determination has been achieved by using of ZnMgO/ZnO/ZnMgO and 13C/12C/13C heterostructures containing ZnO or 12C collecting wells. Their transverse section was scanned by CL spectroscopy with a nanometer scale resolution in excitation. The effective excess carrier diffusion length is deduced from the evolution of the well emission intensity with the distance between the excitation impact and the well.In ZnMgO, the value at 300 K is 55 nm, obtained from a cleaved cross section. It is close to the bulk material diffusion and is attributed to a mixed diffusion of excitons/free carriers. A decrease of down to 8 nm is observed in the thinnest portions of cross sections shaped by focused ion beam (FIB). This effect is attributed to non-radiative surface recombinations. These thin slabs appear of great interest to enhance the spatial resolution of CL images.In diamond, the exciton diffusion at 20 K exhibits a slight dependence on the incident electron energy. This indicates that the exciton diffusion length is around 15 µm in 13C bulk diamond. The values decrease down to 3.3 µm at 118 K.Finally, we highlighted the formation of polyexcitons in diamond by increasing the electron-hole pairs density either by the excitation power, or by the spatial confinement of excitons in thin 12C wells

Texte intégralThis work carried out in the framework of research undertaken at the LAMI (Laboratoire d'Acoustique de Métrologie et d'Instrumentation) proposes a method of real time optimization of the directivity diagram of wide band circular and linear acoustic antennas. The effectiveness of a filtering method associated with each sensor is shown after highlighting the variation of the directivity diagram of the acoustic antennas with the frequency. The characteristics of these filters (frequency and phase response) are given by minimizing the least mean squares error between the real and the desired diagrams over the whole interval of the acoustic wave frequencies and angles. These filters are approximated thereafter by Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters and then described in VHDL language for the implementation in a FPGA circuit. After the presentation of various types of hardware architectures with their performances in terms of processing time and devices resources used, we present in this work some experimental results which show the effects of directivity diagram compensation over a frequency band of three octaves

Texte intégralPower amplifier is one of the most critical element within radiocommunications systems. The PA is their main source of nonlinearities and it has a great contribution on the emitter's power consumption. Running the PA with highest power efficiency is thus as crucial as having it linear for a good communication quality. However these two specifications of the PA are antagonistic and PA manifacturers need to find a compromise between linearity and power efficiency. Digital Predistortion (DPD) and Crest factor Reduction techniques are intended to improve power efficiency while preserving linearity or inversely. Linearization of wideband RF power amplifiers using Digital Predistortion is the focus of this thesis. Three DPD issues are investigated in these works. The first issue deals with multiband linearization where signals with various waveforms located at different frequency bands are amplified. The second objective of this thesis is to study a concurrent DPD/CFR systems based on an automatic estimation of the necessary CFR gain. The last part of this dissertation deals with PA linearization under antenna load variations. Indeed, the impedance of antenna may vary because of electromagnetic objects that are present in its vicinity. Those impedance variations may instigate signal reflections toward the PA, that modify some of its main specifications (linearity, delivered power and efficiency). Our goal in this field is to preserve DPD linearization performances under antenna load mismatch

Texte intégralDue to market demand and technical progresses, a new generation of optical components requires much more sophisticated structures with a great number of layers. These complex structures enable to achieve severe optical performances but, at the same time, enhance light scattering processes. For these reasons, it is essential to develop a metrological tool which provides an accurate quantification of the spectral and angular behavior of scattering losses, with sufficient angular and spectral resolution. In order to face this issue, new investigations were performed during this PhD thesis and led to the development of the new scatterometer SALSA (Spectral and Angular Light Scattering characterization Apparatus). The use of both a broad-band source and a tunable filter allows to accurately select the illumination wavelength and the spectral bandwidth on the whole spectral range of CCD detectivity. Set-up SALSA allows us to perform the measurements of scattering losses on a wide spectral range (400-1000 nm), with high dynamics (>8 decades), high accuracy and low detectivity (a few 10-8 sr-1). Moreover, with set-up SALSA we are able to measure the transmission of interferential filters on the same spectral range, with high accuracy (1%) and a high dynamic (>10 decades, which is a unique performance)

Texte intégralThe thesis makes an in-depth study of one of the classical problems in RF circuit design,the problem of impedance matching. Matching problem addresses the issue of transmitting the maximum available power from a source to a load within a frequency band. Antennas are one of the classical devices in which impedance matching plays an important role. The design of a matching circuit for a given load primarily amounts to find a lossless scattering matrix which when chained to the load minimize the reflection of power in the total system.In this work, both the theoretical aspects of the broadband matching problem and thepractical applicability of the developed approaches are given due importance. Part I of the thesis covers two different yet closely related approaches to the matching problem. These are based on the classical approaches developed by Helton and Fano-Youla to study the broadband matching problems. The framework established in the first approach entails in finding the best H infinity approximation to an L infinity function, Փ via Nehari's theory. This amounts to reduce the problem to a generalized eigen value problem based on an operator defined on H2, the Hankel operator, HՓ. The realizability of a given gain is provided by the constraint, operator norm of HՓ less than or equal to one. The second approach formulates the matching problem as a convex optimisation problem where in further flexibility is provided to the gain profiles compared to the previous approach. It is based on two rich theories, namely Fano-Youla matching theory and analytic interpolation. The realizabilty of a given gain is based on the Fano-Youla de-embedding conditions which reduces to the positivity of a classical matrix in analytic interpolation theory, the Pick matrix. The concavity of the concerned Pick matrix allows finding the solution to the problem by means of implementing a non-linear semi-definite programming problem. Most importantly, we estimate sharp lower bounds to the matching criterion for finite degree matching circuits and furnish circuits attaining those bounds.Part II of the thesis aims at realizing the matching circuits as ladder networks consisting of inductors and capacitors and discusses some important realizability constraints as well. Matching circuits are designed for several mismatched antennas, testing the robustness of the developed approach. The theory developed in the first part of the thesis provides an efficient way of comparing the matching criterion obtained to the theoretical limits

Texte intégralBusiness- and mission-critical communications are communications between professional users either from the public safety sector or operating critical infrastructures. Owing to special coverage, priority access, reliability and resilience requirements, as well as additional services for professional users, these communications are conveyed by Professional Mobile Radio (PMR) networks. Driven by the demand growth, significant changes are taking place in the PMR industry. The existing PMR technologies are indeed not well suited to provide high data rates mobile services like video and photo transfers; hence, the adoption of commercial technologies for mission-critical communications is gaining strong momentum. On the other hand, the next generation cellular networks are envisioned to support a large variety of applications and services with heterogeneous performance requirements, i.e., enhanced Mobile BroadBand (eMBB), massive Machine-Type Communications (mMTC) and Ultra-Reliable Low Latency Communications (URLLC). Recently, mission-critical communications have been classified in a URLLC use case family, characterized by the need to a higher priority over other communications in the networks.In this context, we focus on enhancing the coverage of wireless networks providing group communications, the main service allowed by PMR networks, taking advantage of the current technologies (e.g. Multimedia Broadcast/Multicast Service), to meet the mission-critical communications needs. First, we evaluate the performance of unicast and multicast transmission techniques, i.e., the Multicast/Broadcast Single Frequency Network (MBSFN) and Single-Cell Point-To-Multipoint (SC-PTM), in terms of radio quality, system spectral efficiency and cell coverage, assuming static MBSFN configurations. Then, we introduce an analytical model to derive an approximate closed-form formula of the Signal to Interference plus Noise Ratio (SINR) in a MBSFN network.Furthermore, we propose a simple repetition scheme without request, as an alternative to Hybrid Automatic Repeat re-Quest (HARQ), in the aim of improving the network coverage in presence of group communications. By considering the wireless channel characteristics, as well as the service delay constraints, we show that our proposed scheme provides significant gains over traditional repetition schemes.Finally, we assess the trade-off in the cluster’s size of serving cells which arises between network coverage and capacity in multi-point transmissions. We formulate an optimization problem to maintain an acceptable system blocking probability, while maximizing the average SINR of the multicast group users. For group calls, a dynamic cluster of cells is selected based on the minimization of a submodular function that takes into account the traffic in every cell through some weights and the average SINR achieved by the group users. Traffic weights are then optimized using a Nelder-Mead simplex method with the objective of tracking a blocking probability threshold. Results show the importance of dynamic clustering in improving system capacity and coverage

Texte intégralA criação e o desenvolvimento de uma rede de Internet de banda larga de escala nacional têm merecido a atenção dos poderes públicos um pouco por todo o mundo. A banda larga tem sido alvo de vários planos nacionais promotores da sua expansão baseados na ideia de que esta será um fator de desenvolvimento e coesão social, promotor da Sociedade da Informação. Assim, definiu-se como objetivo do presente trabalho a identificação dos fatores que poderão facilitar/potenciar a adoção da banda larga. Para isso foram usados dados relativos a 30 países da OCDE, durante o período que vai desde 1998 a 2007. Foi dado um maior destaque ao papel que a regulação económica e a concorrência no mercado podem ter. Os indicadores de regulação usados neste estudo foram recolhidos a partir de uma base de dados disponibilizada pela OCDE (RETC). A utilização desta base de dados já foi seguida por autores como Fiorio e Florio (2010) para o estudo do mercado da energia. As principais conclusões retiradas deste estudo são as de que variáveis socioeconómicas tais como o rendimento ou a percentagem de população em zonas urbanas são fatores positivamente relacionados com o nível de adoção de banda larga. Quanto à regulação, pode afirmar-se que a utilização de políticas que promovam a concorrência no mercado das telecomunicações pode ser uma boa medida para fomentar a adoção da banda larga. Finalmente, uma infraestrutura de telefone fixo mais desenvolvida parece facilitar a adesão à banda larga pelos consumidores nos diferentes países em análise. A maioria dos resultados atrás enunciados foi validada quando se introduziu no modelo a variável dependente desfasada. Para além de se ter demonstrado a presença de um efeito de difusão (o número de assinantes de banda larga futuro é influenciado pelos assinantes de banda larga no ano atual), revalidou-se também a evidência de que as infraestruturas de telefone fixo, o PIB per capita e a quota de mercado atingida pelas novas empresas de telecomunicações são fatores positivamente relacionados com a adesão à banda larga, para os diferentes países estudados.
The creation and development of a broadband Internet network nationwide have earned the attention of governments all over the world. The broadband infrastructure has been the target of several national plans with the aim to expand it, that idea is based in the fact that this will be a factor of development and social cohesion, promoting the Information Society. Thus, the study objective is the identification of factors that may facilitate / enhance the broadband adoption. For that, it was used a dataset from 30 OECD countries during the period from 1998 to 2007. It was given a greater highlight to the role of economic regulation and competition in the market. The indicators used in this work were collected on an OECD database (ECTR). This database was already used by other authors such as Fiorio e Florio (2010) but for the case of energy market. The main conclusions of this work are that the socioeconomic variables such as income or percentage of urban population have a positive relationship with the level of broadband adoption. It can be stated, about regulation, that the use of policies that promote competition in the telecommunication market can be a good measure to promote the broadband adoption. Finally, a fixed telephone infrastructure may facilitate more developed broadband adoption by consumers in different countries under review. Most of the results listed above were validated with the introduction of a lagged variable in the basic model. In addition it was demonstrated the presence of a diffusion effect (the number of broadband users in the future depends on the broadband users in the current year), it was also revalidated the evidence that fixed infrastructure, gross domestic product per capita and market share achieved by the new telecommunications companies are factors positively related to broadband adoption, for the different countries studied.
