This paper describes efficient transmission bandwidth management based on flexible channel assignment and effective grade of service (GOS) control methods for nongeostationary orbit mobile satellite service (NGSO MSS) networks. Our basic approach for ...

In future personal communications networks (PCNs) supporting network-wide handoffs, new and handoff requests will compete for connection resources in both the mobile and backbone networks. Forced call terminations due to handoff call blocking are ...

Data broadcasting has been considered as a promising way of disseminating information to a massive number of users in a wireless communication environment. In a broadcast data delivery system, there is a server which is broadcasting data to a user ...

A mathematical formulation is developed for systematic tracking of the random movement of a mobile station in a cellular environment. It incorporates mobility parameters under the most generalized conditions, so that the model can be tailored to be ...

We propose a novel paging strategy based on the theory of optimal search with discrete efforts. When compared to conventional paging methods, the proposed scheme increases the mobile station discovery rate while decreasing the average number of times ...

This paper describes a self-organizing, multihop, mobile radio network which relies on a code-division access scheme for multimedia support. In the proposed network architecture, nodes are organized into nonoverlapping clusters. The clusters are ...

Current code division multiple access (CDMA) networks do not support soft handoffs between cell clusters serviced by different mobile switching centers (MSC's). Three novel network configurations are proposed to overcome this limitation. Configurations ...

This paper presents the wireless intelligent ATM (WIATM) network, designed to provide wireless broadband integrated services. The WIATM network takes advantage of the ATM-cell relay paradigm for integrated services through a radio link with quality of ...

The vision for future telecommunications is often described by the slogan “information at any time, at any place, in any form”, driven by both society's increasing demand for “universal connectivity” and the technological ...

This paper deals with the optimization of the design and radio network resource planning for cellular mobile communication systems. The key element to be considered for mobile network planning is cost. A hierarchical optimization planning method (HOP) ...

Microcellular and distributed antenna systems are two promising candidates for implementing personal communication systems. Antenna interconnection strategies for these systems are studied in order to determine cost-efficient as well as robust and ...

Modern digital cellular telephones and portable computers have created a new platform for distributed information processing. However, the characteristics of wireless telephone links are different from those of wireline links. With standard TCP/IP ...

A multicast flow control framework for data traffic traversing both a wired and wireless network is proposed. Markov-modulated fluid (MMF) models are used for the receivers to capture the dynamics of the wireless links. Our study shows that the phase ...

We formulate and analyze a model of voice and data burst traffic for cellular digital packet data (CDPD). To develop a tractible model, we make some reasonable simplifying assumptions to model the voice traffic and one of the logical CDPD channels as an ...

We present IDAMN (intrusion detection architecture for mobile networks), a distributed system whose main functionality is to track and detect mobile intruders in real time. IDAMN includes two algorithms which model the behavior of users in terms of both ...
