Abstract (sommario):
Parallel and distributed simulation is recognized as a viable method for the modeling of complex dynamic systems. The main benefits of using a parallel versus a sequential technique in solving these problems are decreasing execution time and distributing the memory used in the simulation over a number of processors.
Parallel simulation techniques have successfully been applied to the modeling of cellular communication services. They focus on defining efficient models for simulation, on the study of protocols or on the performance analysis of resource allocation algorithms. In this thesis, we continue the research in this domain by defining a model focusing on simulation accuracy. We will also test the limits on the size of the application model that can be simulated. Two channel allocation techniques are implemented. The first is based on fixed channel allocation and the second on a technique known as channel segregation. The latter technique requires that interference data be computed. For this purpose, we describe a brute force interference calculation algorithm. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)

Blankenship, T. Keith III. "Design and Implementation of a Pilot Signal Scanning Receiver for CDMA Personal Communication Services Systems". Thesis, Virginia Tech, 1998. http://hdl.handle.net/10919/36682.

Testo completo
Abstract (sommario):
In cellular and personal communications services (PCS) systems based on code division multiple access (CDMA), a pilot signal is used on the forward link for synchronization, coherent detection, soft handoff, maintaining orthogonality between base stations, and, in the future, position location. It is critical that the percentage of power allocated to the pilot signal transmitted by each base station be fixed properly to ensure the ability of the CDMA network to support subscriber demand.

This thesis reports on the design and implementation of a prototype receiver for measuring pilot signals in CDMA PCS systems. Since the pseudonoise (PN) signal of the pilot channel is a priori information, the receiver searches for pilot signals by digitally correlating the received signal with this known, locally generated pilot signal. By systematically changing the phase of this locally generated pilot signal, the receiver scans the received signal to identify all possible signs of pilot signal activity. Large values of correlation indicate the presence of a pilot signal at the particular phase of the locally generated pilot signal. The receiver can also detect multipath components of the pilot signal transmitted from a given base station.

One issue associated with this receiver is its ability to keep the signal power within the dynamic range of the analog-to-digital (A/D) converter at its input. This necessitated the design of an automatic gain control (AGC) mechanism, which is digitally implemented in this receiver.

Simulation studies were undertaken to assist in the design and implementation of the pilot signal scanning receiver. These simulations were used to quantify how various non-idealities related to the radio frequency (RF) front-end and A/D converter adversely affect the ability of the digital signal processing algorithms to detect and measure pilot signals.

Because the period of the pilot signal is relatively long, methods were developed to keep the receiver's update period as small as possible without compromising its detection ability. Furthermore, the high sampling rate required strains the ability of the digital logic to produce outputs at a rate commensurate with real-time operation. This thesis presents techniques that allow the pilot signal scanning receiver to achieve real-time operation. These techniques involve the judicious use of partial correlations and windowing the received signal to decrease the transfer rate from the A/D converter to the digital signal processor. This thesis provides a comprehensive discussion of these and other issues associated with the actual hardware implementation of the pilot signal scanning receiver.

Abstract (sommario):
Mobile commerce, due to its inherent characteristics of mobility and reachability in enhancing personalized services provides an excellent means for life insurers to exploit such avenue in their service offerings. The objective of this study was to determine whether mobile commerce can be used to improve the services of life insurance post-sale activities. This objective was achieved with the relevant literature and empirical study. To accomplish the objective of this treatise, a triangulated research approach was selected and a multiple-case study consisting of four cases was conducted. The four cases selected comprised of leading insurers with large market share in the life insurance market in South-Africa. The primary data were collected through questionnaire and face-to-face interviews with selected respondents. The main finding shows that the respondents had a positive view about mobile commerce and its application in their companies. This was demonstrated by 80 percent of respondents who agreed that mobile commerce was more of an opportunity rather than a challenge or even a threat for the life insurance market. The results also indicate that customer relationship management, mobile messaging services and field service automation functions were used by all the insurers; although minor discrepancies were observed due to the efficiency of each firms IT infrastructure. The Internet was found to assist in the collection of more precise data, to increase service performing abilities. Some of the major obstacles that were found to hinder the deployment of mobile commerce in the industry were security concerns, low and infrequent internet usage and performance by supporting industries. Cumbersome and inefficient legacy systems were declared as the greatest technological weakness particularly by respondents from case 1 and 2. Conversely, hardware and network infrastructure, lack of software packages, lack of technical expertise and the fear of disintermediation was rated low in hindering the deployment of mobile commerce. However, according to the findings the key benefits derived from engaging in increased mobile commerce activities include enhancing customer contact and service, more transparency and speed of claims management, increasing client retention and policy extension rates hence increasing overall company profit.

Abstract (sommario):
The advent of personal communication systems within the last decade has depended upon the utilization of advanced digital schemes for source and channel coding and for modulation. The inherent digital nature of the communications processing has allowed the convenient incorporation of cryptographic techniques to implement security in these communications systems. There are various security requirements, of both the service provider and the mobile subscriber, which may be provided for in a personal communications system. Such security provisions include the privacy of user data, the authentication of communicating parties, the provision for data integrity, and the provision for both location confidentiality and party anonymity. This thesis is concerned with an investigation of the private-key and public-key cryptographic techniques pertinent to the security requirements of personal communication systems and an analysis of the security provisions of Second-Generation personal communication systems is presented. Particular attention has been paid to the properties of the cryptographic protocols which have been employed in current Second-Generation systems. It has been found that certain security-related protocols implemented in the Second-Generation systems have specific weaknesses. A theoretical evaluation of these protocols has been performed using formal analysis techniques and certain assumptions made during the development of the systems are shown to contribute to the security weaknesses. Various attack scenarios which exploit these protocol weaknesses are presented. The Fiat-Sharmir zero-knowledge cryptosystem is presented as an example of how asymmetric algorithm cryptography may be employed as part of an improved security solution. Various modifications to this cryptosystem have been evaluated and their critical parameters are shown to be capable of being optimized to suit a particular applications. The implementation of such a system using current smart card technology has been evaluated.

Abstract (sommario):

The traditional way of increasing capacity in a wirelesscommunication system has been cell splitting and fixedchannel-allocation based on prediction tools. However, theplanning complexity increases rapidly with the number of cellsand the method is not suitable for the large temporal andspatial traffic variations expected in the future. A lot ofresearch has therefore been performed regarding adaptivechannel allocation, where a channel can be used anywhere aslong as the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) is acceptable. Acommon opinion is that these solutions must be decentralizedsince a centralized one would be overly complex.

In this thesis, we study the locally centralizedbunch conceptfor radio resource management (RRM) in aManhattan environment and show that it can give a very highcapacity both for outdoor users and for indoor users covered byoutdoor base stations. We show how measurement limitations anderrors affect the performance and wepropose methods to handlethese problems, e.g. averaging of measured values, robustchannel selection algorithms, and increased SIR margins. Wealso study the computational and signaling complexities andshow that they can be reduced by splitting large bunches, usingsparse matrix calculations, and by using a simplified admissionalgorithm. However, a reduction of the complexity often means areduction of the system capacity.

The measurements needed for RRM can also be used to find amobile terminal's geographical position. We propose and studysome simple yet accurate methods for this purpose. We alsostudy if position information can enhance RRM as is oftensuggested in the literature. In the studied scenario, thisinformation seems to be of limited use. One possible use is toestimate the mobile user's speed, to assist handover decisions.Another use is to find the location of user hotspots in anarea, which is beneficial for system planning.

Our results show that the bunch concept is a promisingcandidate for radio resource management in future wirelesssystems. We believe that the complexity is manageable and themain price we have to pay for high capacity is frequentreallocation of connections.

Abstract (sommario):
Since about the turn of the decade, several proposals have come forth for personal communication services implemented by means of multiple satellite systems. These satellite systems are similar to current terrestrial cellular technologies, which are still relatively new and have numerous technical problems associated with them. As a result, these satellite systems will also experience some of the similar problems. Two of such problems are the issue of multipath and interference. These problems may result in significant link degradation and affect overall capacity. To overcome this problem, adaptive antenna arrays on handheld terminals are proposed. This technique is believed to be better than omni-directional antennas which radiate in all directions. Adaptive antenna arrays have the ability to adapt to the changing environment and null out the interference. The LMS algorithm was investigated and used in the simulation of the adaptive array. The performance of the LMS array was discussed in detail. In the case of a multipath, an alternate approach was proposed where a diversity combiner is used to phase shift the multipath and combine the Signal of Interest and multipaths constructively.

Abstract (sommario):
L’apparition du SMS, il y a déjà plusieurs années, a egendré des logiques d’adoption

différentes. Dès son premier usage, le SMS était vu par les compagnies de téléphonie mobile

comme un moyen de transmission d’informations utiles pour les adultes – l’évolution de la

Bourse, des informations sur la météo (Ling, 2001). Par son passage à l’adoption par les

jeunes dans les années 1995 et 1997 et jusqu’aujourd’hui, le SMS devient un phénomène qui

suscite des représentations diverses et des discours assez contradictoires, même virulents par

rapport à son appropriation par les jeunes. Si, dans l’espace francophone et anglophone, le

sujet du “langage SMS” est bien connu, constituant une figure récurrente des discours des

mass-médias et des enseignants qui sortent en évidence les effets négatifs sur les compétences

orthographiques des élèves, ailleurs, et notamment en Roumanie, les discours des massmédias

constatent l’existence du phénomène, sans mettre en évidence les aspects négatifs, s’il

en existe. Un autre registre est celui de l’espace soi-disant virtuel, où des sites Internet relèvent les divers usages du SMS dans le monde3, dans le cadre des diverses industries (le politique4, les

services publics5, le divertissement6). Hors de ces présences qui attestent l’explosion de la

communication par l’intermédiaire du SMS, il existe aussi, par exemple, des concours de

poésie par SMS: leur enjeu est de voir comment la créativité individuelle peut être compactée

en 160 caractères, en résultant un possible mélange entre le hai-ku et cette technologie de

dernière génération. Le SMS, dont on décriera l’évolution plus tard, dépasse ainsi ses

fonctions primaires de communication et de socialisation, en devenant un milieu de créativité

et d’innovation artistique.La vie quotidienne est aussi un domaine où le SMS est très visible et qui détermine la création d’une représentation collective qui attribuerait le SMS aux jeunes à part d’autre type de public. Constamment, autour de soi, on peut voir des jeunes utilisant le téléphone mobile pour envoyer des messages. La scène déjà évoquée, issue de mes observations

ethnographiques, en est particulièrement illustrative. Toutes ces contextes donnent une présence active de l’usage du SMS. A chaque

contexte, un discours spécifique. Cette diversité contextuelle et discursive incontestable a

constitué une première raison d’approfondir le sujet du SMS. Alors, la question fondamentale surgit :comment peut-on traiter d’un tel sujet ?Quelle est la « bonne » voie interprétative ?Nous nous proposons de relier deux aspects, la

communication et les usages, ce qui nous semble essentiel pour la construction de l’objet du

SMS. Il s’agit donc d’étudier les discours caractéristiques de la culture des jeunes, sur le plan des pratiques comme des représentations, en mettant un accent particulier sur leur façon de

construire des stratégies pour surmonter les contraintes imposées par l’objet technique (le

SMS présente en fait des caractéristiques linguistiques liées aux spécificités du support

technique) mais aussi sur leur façon de « se mettre en scène » dans les SMS. Nous verrons

ainsi en quoi il y a une prise en compte des règles du groupe de pairs dans la culture

adolescente, en même temps qu’une élaboration de stratégies de distanciation. C’est la

démarche spécifique à l’anthropologie de la communication. On pourrait aborder le SMS en mobilisant les approches de réseau, dans des termes de fonctionnabilité du réseau, de rôles de chaque acteur qui y participe et du principe du pouvoir qui leur serait intrinsèque (Latour 1991) :le message reçu par le jeune légitime la bonne

fonctionnalité du réseau, dont les autres jeunes font partie, ainsi que leurs positions à

l’intérieur du réseau social. Le fait d’avoir partagé le SMS est un signe de pouvoir symbolique

envers les autres. Ces approches omettent cependant un aspect que nous considérons comme

important, à savoir le caractère ludique, que ce soit le ludique intrinsèque du message

(exprimé par un contenu amusant, une blague, un ragot, etc.) ou le ludique extérieur du

message (exprimé par l’acte d’envoyer un message, qui surmonte l’ennui temporel).

J’argumenterai que le ludique est le facteur qui explique le grand succès du SMS et de sa

consolidation auprès des jeunes.

Par rapport à la constitution de l’anthropologie comme discipline, les études

anthropologiques de nouvelles technologies informationnelles et communicationnelles

(NTIC) sont apparues très récemment, au cours des années 1990 du dernier siècle. S’agissant

d’un groupe assez réduit de chercheurs qui, en plus, ne connaissaient pas les travaux de leurs

pairs, les études initiales étaient plutôt descriptives et empiriques ;le SMS y était présenté en tant qu’une réalité « exotique ». Son « exotisme » a penché sur le discours anthropologique assez longtemps, jusqu’à la fin des années 1990, quand l’anthropologie fait son bilan et elle découvre que la période des études descriptives doit finir et commencer l’étape de

problématisation. Ainsi, les anthropologues se ciblent sur le rapport entre le nouveau et

l’ancien dans la communication médiatisée par NTIC, commencent à rechercher dans le passé

des usages similaires, pour construire une théorie des nouveaux modèles communicationnels.

L’anthropologie de la communication du fin des années 1990 et le début des 20008

s’éloigne de la sociologie par sa démarche diachronique et comparative. L’usage est remplacé

par le concepte de la pratique (ce qui impliquait une interprétation des usages dans leur

dynamique). Par la suite, la perspective synchronique laisse la place à une démarche

diachronique, les anthropologues décrivant la façon dont les pratiques communicationnelles

d’un certain médium prennent des nouvelles significations, en fonction de contexte et des

individus. Si la sociologie réalisait des comparaisons entre les usages des divers NTIC dans le même contexte temporel, l’anthropologie de la communication emploie la méthode

comparatiste au niveau diachronique aussi. L’ancien et le nouveau dans la communication

médiatisée par NTIC constituent la cible scientifique des anthropologues. Cette focalisation est importante aussi pour la spécialisation de l’objet de la recherche ;son évolution poursuit le schème suivant en anthropologie de la communication :NTIC → type d’objet électronique (téléphone mobile, ordinateur, tam-tam etc) → une fonctionnalité de l’objet technologique qui connaît des développement surprenants (SMS, vidéo-appel, MMS, chat, Instant Messenger,Facebook, MySpace etc). On passe de la « computer mediated communication » aux pratiques communicationnelles spécifiques à chaque fonctionnalité, de singulier au pluriel.

Il n’est resté que peu de temps jusqu’à ce que l’objet technologique devienne sujet des

interrogations dans la culture matérielle. De date très récente, dans l’espace anglo-saxon9 et

francophone10, ces études mettent dans le centre de leur analyse la relation entre l’individu et

l’objet technologique, donc la consommation. Les rapports entre les deux instances de la

relation décrivent deux directions de l’action :l’incorporation de l’objet (l’objet agit sur

l’individu) et l’excorporation de l’objet (l’individu agit sur l’objet). Cette relation est vue dans ces concrétisations en divers lieux du monde, les anthropologues présentant une localisation des pratiques et des représentations d’un certain objet technologique. La culture matérielle reprend la dimension synchronique d’un objet technologique (les usages en divers contextes)dans le cadre plus large diachronique, segmenté en fonction des étapes d’appropriation :

l’adoption, la création de l’utilité, la consolidation des usages. Cette trajectoire de l’objet décrit une démarche paradigmatique, dont chaque étape est construite par les pratiques et les représentations créées par les usagers. Le processus d’appropriation est donc le cadre

théorique plus large dans lequel les anthropologues intègrent les conceptes de la sociologie et de l’anthropologie communicationnelle. Influencée par la sémiotique, la culture matérielle décrit, donc, les significations complexes de la relation entre l’individu et l’objet technologique (que nous allons décrire en détail dans le premier chapitre de la thèse). On comprend assez facilement pourquoi le téléphone mobile est un objet technologique soumis au processus d’appropriation, mais pourrait-on dire que le SMS est un objet de consommation ?

Gérald Gaglio ainsi l’interprète :« Ce tour d'horizon a permis d'identifier les étapes de la

diffusion d'une nouvelle pratique sociale liée à un support technique, le SMS. Elle apparaît

suite à une ruse qui consiste à contourner le coût de l'appel téléphonique et profite d'un effet

de réseau. Elle s'enrichit de la création d'un univers de sens puis interpelle par l'action d'une "

minorité active " constituée par les adolescents. Elle sort enfin de son contexte de création

puisqu'elle est appropriée par d'autres populations qui élargissent les types de contenus

transmis. »11

Dominique Desjeux partage la même opinion quand elle compare la diffusion du SMS

en Chine, France et Pologne: « In the field of telephony, mobile or fixed, and more generally

in that of electronic information technologies, SMS is an interesting example of the spread of

an innovation because it has occurred without the need for any special marketing action. Its

spread has been spontaneous except in Poland where the later arrival of SMS meant that it

was immediately associated with uses of mobile phones. Hence, its success is linked to

invisible uses and associations that existed potentially in society before the expansion of

SMS. It is interesting to review these in order to understand at least partially the logic

underlying the spread of future innovations. Hence the purpose of this article is to show the

invisible uses that have been gradually revealed by surveys on SMS practices, especially

qualitative ones and mostly on a micro-social scale, carried out in France (partly under my

direction) by Catherine Lejealle (2003), in Poland by Malgorzata Kamieniczna (2004) and in

China by Anne Sophie Boisard (2004). Another aim is to show the shared or singular

practices of the three cultures analysed. The social uses of SMS in the world fit into a

dynamic that is constantly evolving among users, from the youngest to the oldest, and are

based on a written expression that constantly invents new codes or forms of the written

language. »12

Les deux chercheurs se situent en continuité avec notre grille d’analyse ;tous les deux

reconnaissent l’émergence du SMS dans des pays différents, dans le cadre des sous-cultures

délimitées par l’âge. G. Gaglio et D. Desjeux voient dans la pratique du SMS un exemple de

détournement du préscrit, déterminé par la capacité des usagers d’innover. Influencés par la

thèorie de Norbert Alter sur l’innovation ordinaire13, les deux anthropologues, à la suite d’une

démarche comparative entre plusieurs espaces, considèrent que le SMS est un objet de

consommation. Ses développements différents, les pratiques changeantes, expression d’une

créativité individuelle et collective, font que le SMS accomplisse « les conditions » pour être

considéré un objet soumis au processus complexe de la consommation.

12

Cette façon d’aborder le SMS est celle que nous suivrons aussi ;quand même,

l’explication de l’émergence du SMS ne nous suffit pas. Considérer l’explosion du SMS

comme ayant ses racines que dans la capacité créative des usagers (les innovateurs ordinaires)

nous semble une explication un peu aride, qui laisse à coté les conditions du contexte qui ont

fait que le détournement se réalise. Et, en plus, en quoi consiste-t-elle, cette capacité créative ?

Suffit-il de le nommer pour expliquer tout un phénomène ?Quels sont donc les ressorts

intérieurs du passage de « manières de faire » aux « arts de faire »14 ?

Abstract (sommario):
The growth of Personal Communications, the keyword of the 90s, has already the signs of a technological revolution. The foundations of this revolution are currently set through the standardization of the Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), a communication system with synergistic terrestrial and satellite segments. The main characteristic of the UMTS radio interface, is the provision of ISDN services. Services with higher than voice data rates require more spectrum, thus techniques that utilize spectrum as efficiently as possible are currently at the forefront of the research community interests. Two of the most spectrally efficient multiple access technologies, namely. Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) and Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) concentrate the efforts of the European telecommunity. This thesis addresses problems and. proposes solutions for CDMA systems that must comply with the UMTS requirements. Prompted by Viterbi's call for further extending the potential of CDMA through signal processing at the receiving end, we propose new Minimum Mean Square Error receiver architectures. MMSE detection schemes offer significant advantages compared to the conventional correlation based receivers as they are NEar FAr Resistant (NEFAR) over a wide range of interfering power levels. The NEFAR characteristic of these detectors reduces considerably the requirements of the power control loops currently found in commercial CDMA systems. MMSE detectors are also found, to have significant performance gains over other well established interference cancellation techniques like the decorrelating detector, especially in heavily loaded system conditions. The implementation architecture of MMSE receivers can be either Multiple-Input Multiple Output (MIMO) or Single-Input Single-Output. The later offers not only complexity that is comparable to the conventional detector, but also has the inherent advantage of employing adaptive algorithms which can be used to provide both the dispreading and the interference cancellation function, without the knowledge of the codes of interfering users. Furthermore, in multipath fading channels, adaptive MMSE detectors can exploit the multipath diversity acting as RAKE combiners. The later ability is distinctive to MMSE based receivers, and it is achieved in an autonomous fashion, without the knowledge of the multipath intensity profile. The communicator achieves its performance objectives by the synergy of the signal processor and the channel decoder. According to the propositions of this thesis, the form of the signal processor needs to be changed, in order to exploit the horizons of spread spectrum signaling. However, maximum likelihood channel decoding algorithms need not change. It is the way that these algorithms are utilized that needs to be revis ed. In this respect, we identify three major utilization scenarios and an attempt is made to quantify which of the three best matches the requirements of a UMTS oriented CDMA radio interface. Based on our findings, channel coding can be used as a mapping technique from the information bit to a more ''intelligent" chip, matching the ''intelligence" of the signal processor.

Abstract (sommario):
A novel flexible channel allocation scheme is proposed which is applicable to medium altitude, high diversity satellite personal communication systems with an interconnected ground control segment. The scheme is built upon the establishment of several temporal master-slave network hierarchies in distinct areas of the Earth, whereby the control of radio resources in each area is granted to a single network entity, the master, located at one of the network's fixed earth station sites. The master station is entrusted with the radio resource management functionality equivalent to a base station controller in GSM, whereas the slaves, which consist of all FES sites which control satellites that have a current connectivity with the master's area, share the functionality of a GSM base transceiver station with the satellites under their control. The master maintains a table of all channel allocations within its control area in real-time, its objective is to maximise the number of channels which can be provided in its area, in response to channel requests by users, subject to known interference criteria. It can achieve this by optimising the existing and future channel allocations through the use of predictive satellite coverage, spotbeam gain models and genetic algorithms. Radio resource related signalling between master and slave stations is performed through a dedicated terrestrial fibre-optic network which interconnects the FES sites, based upon GSM interface specifications which are adapted to account for the increased propagation delays and signalling load associated with the regional network. The potential capacity gain which is available through a centralised optimisation approach over a fixed channel allocation scheme is determined through simulation. The instantaneous capacity of each scheme is highly dependent on the traffic distribution and the positions of the satellites, which causes an analytical approach to be too restrictive or simplistic. The capacity gain estimation is performed over a time period for which several samples are taken and a powerful adapted genetic algorithm is applied to the NP complete problem to determine the maximum capacity. The flexible dynamic system, entitled the hybrid-centralised DCA scheme, is shown to have a raw capacity potential in excess of the FCA scheme under the traffic distribution scenario adopted.

Abstract (sommario):
Recent advances in both satellite and terrestrial mobile communications technologies are now leading to the realisation of the dream of the global personal communications within a few years. Satellite systems, as a complement to terrestrial cellular systems, are introduced into the future Personal Communication Networks (S-PCN) to provide global coverage and to allow global roaming. The inter-working and the integration between the satellite and the terrestrial cellular systems (e.g. GSM system) are the key issues in developing the network architecture and designing the control functions and signalling protocols of satellite systems. This thesis focuses on the design of a satellite signalling control system. The coverage and link properties of ICO10 and LE066 satellite constellations, the representatives of low earth orbit (LEO) and medium earth orbit (MEO) satellite systems, are considered. A satellite specific network architecture is proposed to accommodate the requirements of satellite dynamics and resource control function. The physical layer of satellite signalling links are designed to cope with the specific features of LEO or MEO satellite air-interfaces. In order to overcome problems specific to LEO or MEO satellite systems and to provide call set-up control function, three important signalling protocols are proposed for the S-PCNs. The priority based fast access scheme is designed for the satellite random access channel allowing low access delay for the call set-up related access packets, even when the channel load is high. The satellite diversity based paging approach is proposed to optimize the paging performance. The modified selective re-transmission (M-SRT) and Go-Back-N (M-GBN) protocols are proposed to cope with the transaction type transmission on the dedicated control channel. Simulation results have shown siginficant improvement of the M-SRT and M-GBN protocols in call setup delay. Two protocols are also compared in the aspects of implementation complexity and call set-up performance. Finally, the integration scenarios between satellite and GSM system have been examined for S-PCN in the call handling related functions and associated signalling protocols. The GSM higher layer signalling protocols are tailored to provide the call control related functions. The optimum integration scenario is derived under the criterion of minimum modifications to the GSM higher layer signalling protocols and minimum complexities of the control functions.

Abstract (sommario):
This thesis presents generic traffic models which can be used for integrated voice and data traffic for networks with various characteristics. The main focus is on the impact of buffering voice and data packets having various traffic loads and analyzing the effects of mobility issues on system performance. Analytical models for single and multi-channel systems are developed and their solution techniques for finite and infinite queuing capacities are presented. For single server systems a new product form solution approach is only provided for the static stations. For more complex systems, when multi-server systems and mobile stations are considered, it may not be possible to find a product form solution because the increased number of transitions makes the solution intractable. Therefore, Kolmogorov equations are used effectively to find the solutions for the finite queuing capacities. On the other hand, Spectral Expansion is used for systems with in- finite queuing capacities. The results obtained are validated using a discrete-event simulation (DES) tool. In integrated voice and data wireless networks, the most important consideration is to utilize the resources in an efficient way and maintain the required quality of service (QoS). Because of the increasing demand in using wireless networks for multiple services, efficient Buffer Management (BM) analysis, Call Admission Control (CAC) techniques and also threshold analysis in order to find the minimum and maximum values for the system resources (i.e. buffer and channel capacities) are required for integrating different services such as voice and data in order to provide the expected QoS to users. Unlike traditional networks, it is possible to take advantage of a single network for multiple services in the current wireless networks (WLAN, EDGE, 3G, HSDPA, HSPA, LTE). The integration of services prevents the need for many overlaying networks, which makes network management difficult. Service requirements are different for voice and data traffic. While voice packets are delay-sensitive, data packets cannot tolerate blocking (i.e. being dropped). In order to provide high QoS at all times, it is important to consider the trade-off between voice and data traffic. Current wireless network systems are indeed getting faster and faster. Therefore, it may be possible to queue voice calls. In addition, channel reservation is widely accepted as the only way to provide acceptable QoS for Wide Area Networks (WANs) as different characteristics of services are integrated. In this thesis, firstly, we developed a performance model of a cell for WLAN and cellular network systems where the impact of buffering voice packet is considered for integrated voice and data services. Following this, service and buffer management analysis is carried out to minimize the cost of data packets over voice packets and therefore prevent data packets to be lost. Furthermore, the effect of handoff arrival is included. Algorithms to determine the buffer thresholds for voice packets and the overall capacity are developed. Traffic constraints and mobility issues are integrated and a generic traffic model is proposed. The proposed generic model can be applied to all networks using different policies and algorithms. The results obtained from this study clearly show that it is possible to queue voice packets with a small portion of buffering. This reduces the blocking probability and hence allows for better operation of both traffic services. Moreover, apart from the prioritization of traffic classes, it is also important to optimize the buffering scheme for the overall system performance. Furthermore, this work points out that channel reservation, which is commonly used, is not the only way to provide acceptable QoS for integrated service networks. Different analytical solution techniques are used in order to obtain results which are validated using discrete-event simulation techniques. This study sheds a light to better understand the trade-off between different types of services to provide high QoS for wireless networks. Hence, the proposed models in this study can be considered as part of a generic model in the design and development of future wireless systems and therefore can be modified to support not only voice and data services but also video applications over several networks.

Abstract (sommario):
This thesis is concerned with provision of multimedia services in cellular mobile/personal communication systems. It is a recognised fact that the success of mobile radio systems, in keeping a competitive edge with fixed telecommunication systems, depends on their capability to support as many services as possible and with comparative quality to that offered by the fixed networks. The first generation cellular systems (analogue) and second generation mobile communication systems (digital) were all designed primarily to support telephony services. Now there are worldwide standards activities in ETSI and ITU working towards a third generation system (digital) which aims to support services of up to 2Mbps. ETSI and ITU systems are called Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS) and Future Public Land Mobile Telecommunication System (FPLMTS), which has recently been named International Mobile Telecommunications for year 2000 at 2000 MHz or (IMT-2000) respectively. These systems are to operate, in allocated WARC'92 frequency bands between 1.885 GHz to 2.5 GHz. This thesis is aimed at an evaluation of possible potentials offered by the second generation systems, particularly GSM, and to propose new protocols for supporting data services whilst at the same time increasing spectral efficiency of the system and keeping intact the offered quality of telephony services. It must be emphasised that, the support of low bit rate data services, if not carefully incorporated, could result in inefficient use of the scarce radio spectrum. Therefore, major concern in this work is with accommodation of the low bit rate data services. Higher bit rate services (higher than voice codec rates) can be accommodated differently. Possible solutions are also proposed. This thesis is structured in a way that, hopefully, provides a logical approach to the problem and eventually to the proposed solutions. The introduction chapter starts with a brief account of the services envisaged for the third generation systems. To be able to evaluate the capability and suitability of already existing multiple access protocols and multiple access schemes, in chapter 2, a list of performance criteria is derived. As a result of these comparisons, TDMA as an access scheme and the GSM system were selected for further evaluation. In chapter 3, all the relevant aspect of the GSM system, for this research, are presented. Chapter 4, deals mainly with all of the characteristics of speech; discusses and tabulates all the possible parameters which can affect the speech quality, and that are essential to be taken account of when designing a telephony communication system. As a result of this, a model for speech is derived and adopted for further analysis. In chapter 5 all the currently proposed reservation-based multiple access protocols, suitable for statistical multiplexing of voice and data services are critically discussed. A new and generic mathematical technique, based on queuing theory, is derived and promising protocols such as PRMA and PRMA++ (candidate access protocols for the third generation mobile system) are evaluated. Detailed analysis of the PRMA protocol leads to new modifications which greatly enhances all of the statistics of PRMA and its derivatives. In chapter 5, it is also shown that PRMA increases system capacity at the cost of service quality. The present TDMA access protocol used in GSM was realised to be too rigid to efficiently support data services, especially low rate data services, so this research work was mainly directed to including some flexibility into GSM access protocols, without sacrificing voice service quality. Finally four novel protocols are identified and in chapter 6, their performance is thoroughly evaluated for mixed services in the GSM TDMA frame structure. Alternative frame structures are also investigated which can support even higher bit rate data services than those supportable within the current GSM frame structure. Finally, chapters 7 and 8, respectively, deal with conclusions of this research work and the list of references used in this investigation.

Abstract (sommario):
The main objectives of this research are to investigate and design low profile antennas for mobile handsets applications using the balanced concept. These antennas are considered to cover a wide range of wireless standards such as: DCS (1710-1880 MHz), PCS (1850-1990 MHz), UMTS (1920-2170 MHz), WLAN (2400-2500 MHz and 5000-5800 MHz) and UWB frequency bands. Various antennas are implemented based on built-in planar dipole with a folded arm structure. The performance of several designed antennas in terms of input return loss, radiation patterns, radiation efficiency and power gain are presented and several remarkable results are obtained. The measurements confirm the theoretical design concept and show reasonable agreement with computations. The stability performance of the proposed antenna is also evaluated by analysing the current distribution on the mobile phone ground plane. The specific absorption rate (SAR) performance of the antenna is also studied experimentally by measuring antenna near field exposure. The measurement results are correlated with the calculated ones. A new dual-band balanced antenna using coplanar waveguide structure is also proposed, discussed and tested; this is intended to eliminate the balanced feed network. The predicted and measured results show good agreement, confirming good impedance bandwidth characteristics and excellent dual-band performance. In addition, a hybrid method to model the human body interaction with a dual band balanced antenna structure covering the 2.4 GHz and 5.2 GHz bands is presented. Results for several test cases of antenna locations on the body are presented and discussed. The near and far fields were incorporated to provide a full understanding of the impact on human tissue. The cumulative distribution function of the radiation efficiency and absorbed power are also evaluated.

Abstract (sommario):
Avec l’évolution des technologies de l’internet, les applications et plus généralement lessystèmes distribués sont de plus en plus conçus en composant et interconnectant un ensemblede services distribués. Ces services pouvant être très hétérogènes, plusieurs approches etsolutions pour la gestion de l’intégration et l’interopérabilité ont été proposées. De toutes cespropositions, les bus de services (ESB – Enterprise Service Bus) ont été désignés commeétant la solution la plus adaptée. Toutefois, le problème avec les ESB est qu’ils sont déployésdans un contexte très évolutif et très dynamique; un contexte dans lequel un grand nombre deservices peuvent être fournis et utilisés de façon concurrente à travers le bus. L’utilisationconcurrente de ces services mais aussi des ressources sous-jacentes allouées au bus (mémoire,processeur, etc.) peut conduire à des événements imprévisibles tels qu’une surcharge du bus,une indisponibilité des services, des temps de réponse élevés, une diminution de la fiabilité,etc. Dans ce contexte, des solutions efficaces permettant de garantir ou d'améliorer à la fois laqualité de service et l'évolutivité offertes par les ESB sont nécessaires. Le but de cette thèse est de proposer les principes architecturaux pour la mise en place un busde service autonome (ASB) qui offre une solution de communication scalable guidée par lestransactions des systèmes interconnectés, mais aussi par les ressources disponibles. L’ASBoffre aussi un service d’intégration différentiée en fonction des exigences en termes de qualitéde service spécifiques aux systèmes interconnectés
With the accelerated evolution of Internet, distributed systems are more and more designed asa composition of distributed services that need to be composed to implement complexbusiness processes. Diversity and heterogeneity of these services raise important integrabilityand interoperability requirements. To meet these needs, the Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) hasbeen proposed as a mediator based on open and standard interfaces facilitating theintegrability and interoperability of services. However, in very active and dynamic contextswhere a large number of concurrent services can be provided and consumed via the ESB, thecompetition for using shared services, but also the underlying computing resources allocatedto the ESB (memory, processor, etc.) can lead to unpredictable events such as serviceunavailability, high response time, decrease of reliability, etc. Such anomalies need to beaddressed by proposing efficient strategies able to guarantee or to improve both the QoS andscalability offered by the ESB. The aim of this thesis is to propose an architectural framework for a QoS-aware AutonomicService Bus (ASB) able to offer in an autonomic way a scalable communication solutionguided by distributed systems transactions and the state of the underlying computingresources. The ASB offers also a differentiated integration service based on the QoSrequirements of interconnected systems

Homes are becoming increasingly connected as new technologies allow users to access media and information from any-device at anytime. Notebooks, HDTVs, smartphones, media servers, photo cameras, and video cameras, all form part of this new digital ecosystem where - the vision says - information and content will flow easily across devices, enabled by simple and intuitive user interfaces. These new home technologies are, however, often too complex for most users. Only "digital-natives" or technology savvy groups have the necessary skills, knowledge or confidence to adopt them and to use them effectively. For the rest, trying them becomes painful and frustrating. Moreover, the ecosystem itself adds confusion, given the large number of players involved and the many different kinds of relationships. Unless a dominant player gains enough power to establish a dominant digital home architecture, or this happens in some other way, most companies will continue to innovate around device-specific features that don't address the overall complexity of the complete systems that users have to work with. Digital help services can assist users by simplifying the selection, installation, learning and troubleshooting of new services and devices; facilitating the adoption of new convergent technologies. There is a broad range of potential services, including, for example, 'over the top' (OTT) television integration, smartphone mentoring services, WiFi network configuration and desktop support services. Communication service providers should pay close attention to digital help services as an opportunity to differentiate their offer, strengthen their relationship with end-customers, reduce customer support costs and simplify the adoption of bandwidth-intensive technologies. Moreover, digital help services can speed up the adoption of OTT television services, and companies can use them strategically. The technology help space is evolving and communication service providers need to figure out how they want to participate: offer help services themselves; partner or acquire a existing technology support company; and/or create an open marketplace for technology help services.

Abstract (sommario):
The advantages in representing high level user service scenarios by means of a formal testable design notation are several. Formalized scenarios provide for a more extensive test coverage of designs both from the user perspective and the system perspective when compared to a non formal method such as one employing natural language. Verifying completeness of design by scenario checking is targeted towards catching design errors. We present guidelines for constructing test cases and scenarios which simplify the process and disambiguate the specification. This thesis defines a formal testable design notation called Simple Design Machines (SDM's) (simplification of Design Machines); which lends itself to the semi-automated generation of grey-box use cases. These grey box use cases, when combined with white and black box test cases, provide for a more comprehensive test suite. Thus, SDM's support design for Software Testability. Personal Communication Systems is the application used to validate SDM's. In this thesis, first the need for a testable design language is demonstrated, then different existing testing techniques are reviewed, followed by an overview of the proposed new language (SDM's) and the application used for validation (PCS). SDM's are effective in situations where the system responds to combinations of inputs. Examples illustrating how to construct SDM's for simple applications are then given. We subsequently define a mapping from PCS communication systems to SDM's, walk through the generation of grey box use cases, validate these use cases and measure coverage for the SDM designs. A variety of different tools are assessed into for feasibility with respect to automatic test case generation A prototype of the Symbolic Scenario Selector was implemented in C and tested on PCS. Traces are generated for the SDM's and coverage is measured. Inconsistencies in the specification can be detected as the PCS example demonstrated. Finally, we assess advantages and limitations of the approach based on the case study and other experiences.
