Congestion notification and rate-adaptation for real-time services in All-IP radio networks

This Master thesis investigates solutions for handling congestion in All-IP radio networks. A mixed traffic scenario including a video and voice conversation has been studied using an advanced radio network simulator. The preventive measures investigated in this thesis are a bit rate

Proof of concept implementation of UMTS long term evolution

In recent years, mobile communication has evolved rapidly and demand for mobile devices with new and higher quality services is increasing. The existing 3G standard, Universal Mobile Telecommunication System (UMTS), is currently being upgraded with High Speed Packet Access (HSPA) to meet

Optimization of Contemporary Telecommunications Networks: Generalized Spanning Trees and WDM Optical Networks

We present a study of two NP-hard telecommunications network design problems – the prize-collecting generalized minimum spanning tree problem (PCGMST) and the design of optical networks with wavelength division multiplexing. The first problem, the PCGMST problem, involves the design of regional backbone

Electronic Mediation, Transformation, and Business Value: Three Essays in the Retail Auto Industry

This dissertation seeks to answer the following research questions: (1) what properties enable some organizations to generate more value from information technology (IT) than others? and (2) through what mechanisms do organizations generate value through IT? It examines the role of technology

Mobile peer-to-peer applications in cellular networks

Since the introduction of Napster in 1999, Peer-to-peer applications has generated controversy through providing users with tools for sharing files, which has resulted in a large increase of traffic in fixed networks while raising piracy issues. In recent years, other application areas

A prototype application for objective video quality assessment

The area of mobile communications has evolved in the last years and with the introduction of 3rd generation cellphones users can use features like video calls and mobile television. There are various bottlenecks in this kind of communication that introduce distortions to
