TL;DR: In this article, a method and system for designing a bi-connected ring-based network is provided, which designs from scratch or converts an existing network to a dual-homed ringbased network.
Abstract: A method and system for designing a bi-connected ring-based network is provided, which designs from scratch or converts an existing network to a dual-homed ring-based network. The network covers the locations capable of being bi-connected with one or more cycles/rings. The traffic demand is then routed via the cycles, in such a way so as to minimize the amount of network traffic management equipment required.

TL;DR: The model is a combination of a multiplicative cascade with an independent lognormal process that has all the important properties observed in data traffic including long-range dependence, multifractality and lognormality and is flexible enough to capture the complete multifractal characteristics of data traffic.
Abstract: We propose a new multifractal traffic model for network traffic. The model is a combination of a multiplicative cascade with an independent lognormal process. We show that the model has all the important properties observed in data traffic including long-range dependence (LRD), multifractality and lognormality. We also demonstrate that the model is flexible enough to capture the complete multifractal characteristics of data traffic including both the scaling function and the moment factor. On the other hand, we argue that the model is simple from practical point of view having only three parameters. Practical applications for measured data traffic and validation of the model with queueing performance evaluation are also presented.

TL;DR: In this paper, a system and method to automate the design and optimization of a wireless telecommunications network is presented, which is also operable to optimize network component configurations and locations to predict optimum network footprints.
Abstract: A system and method to automate the design and optimization of a wireless telecommunications network is disclosed. More specifically, the disclosed invention provides the functionality to quickly and easily simulate configurations for various wireless telecommunications network components at predetermined geographical locations in order to predict performance of potential wireless network links. The invention is also operable to optimize network component configurations and locations to predict optimum network footprints. To transform data associated with predetermined geographical network link locations and wireless network component performance specifications, the present invention employs a series of specialized algorithms and editors, to compile and simulate user provided configurations of all key aspects of each wireless link in a theoretical network footprint. Once each wireless link, or network node, is configured by the relevant editor, the invention simulates and predicts network performance via a simulation engine before providing the user with a representative output.

TL;DR: This work introduces a set of suitable analytical network cloud models and describes how these models can be implemented in the ns-2 simulator using a hot-plug mechanism, so that simulation scenarios containing several ISP networks become feasible.
Abstract: Discrete event simulation of computer networks has significant scalability issues, which makes simulating large scale networks problematic. We propose to extend the approach by combining it with analytical models for network clouds, which are much more efficient, if less accurate, than nodeby-node models. Thus, simulation scenarios containing several ISP networks become feasible. We introduce a set of suitable analytical network cloud models and also describe how these models can be implemented in the ns-2 simulator using a hot-plug mechanism.

TL;DR: This MAC protocol solves the energy inefficiency taking nodes latency into consideration based on the network traffic and achieves high-energy efficiency under wide range of traffic loads and is able to adjust itself to improve the delay performance when the network Traffic Load is high.
Abstract: In this work, we carried out the performance analysis of Optimized Medium Access Control (MAC) Protocol for the wireless sensor network. This MAC protocol solves the energy inefficiency taking nodes latency into consideration based on the network traffic. It achieves high-energy efficiency under wide range of traffic loads and is able to adjust itself to improve the delay performance when the network traffic load is high.
