Telecommunications Network Design and Management (Paperback)

From the Publisher: Telecommunications Network Design And Management represents the state-of-the-art of applying operations research techniques and solutions across a broad spectrum of telecommunications problems and implementation issues.-The first three chapters of the book deal with the design of wireless networks, including UMTS and Ad-Hoc networks.-Chapters 4-6 deal with the optimal design of telecommunications networks. Techniques used for network design range from genetic algorithms to combinatorial optimization heuristics.-Chapters 7-10 analyze traffic flow in telecommunications networks, focusing on optimizing traffic load distribution and the scheduling of switches under multi-media streams and heavy traffic.-Chapters 11-14 deal with telecommunications network management, examining bandwidth provisioning, admission control, queue management, dynamic routing, and feedback regulation in order to ensure that the network performance is optimized.-Chapters 15-16 deal with the construction of topologies and allocation of bandwidth to ensure quality-of-service.
