The main goal of wireless telecommunication world can be briefly summarized as: "communication anywhere, anytime, any-media and principally at high-data rates ". On the other hand, this goal is in conflict with the co-existence of plenty different current and emerging wireless systems covering almost the whole world, since each one follows its own architecture and is based on its particular bedrocks. This results in a heterogeneous depiction of the hyper-set of wireless communications systems. The scope of this paper is to present a highly innovative and scalable architectural framework, which will allow different wireless systems to be interconnected in a common way, able to achieve resource management optimization, augmentation of network performance and maximum utilization of the networks. It will describe a hierarchical management system covering all GSM, GPRS, UMTS and WLAN networks each one individually, as well as a unified and wide wireless telecommunication system including all later, in order to provide enhanced capacity and quality via the accomplished network interworking. The main idea is to monitor all the resources using distributed monitoring components with intention to feed an additional centralized system with alarms, so that a set of management techniques will be selected and applied where needed In parallel, the centralized system will be able to combine the afore-mentioned alarms with business models for the efficient use of the available networks according to the type of user, the type of application as well as the user's location.

In this paper we propose an adaptive handoff algorithm based on the "threshold-with-hysteresis." In general, such handoff algorithms are proposed to improve the handoff decision for a specific user Our algorithm aims to provide effective network utilization for all users. To realize the handoff decision based on the mobile nodes, the agent advertisements include information of the congestion status at the base station in the algorithm. For implementing the algorithm to Mobile IP we also propose the system architecture with a QoS mechanism. The simulation experiment shows that our proposed algorithm improves the average handoff blocking rate than the previous method in spite of low overhead of our expansion.

A smart sensor node has been developed which has (a) the ability, to sense strain of the structure under observation (b) process this raw sensor data in cooperation with its neighbors and (c) transmit the information to the end user. These sensor nodes are interconnected by a loosely coupled network called sensor network. The network is designed to be self organizing in the sense of establishing and maintaining the inter node connectivity without the need for human intervention. For the envisioned application of structural health monitoring, wireless communication is the most practical solution not only because they,, eliminate interconnecting wires but also for their ability to establish communication links even in inaccessible regions. But wireless network brings with it a number of issues such as interference, fault tolerant self organizing, multi-hop communication, energy efficiency, routing and finally reliable operation in spite of massive complexity of the system. This paper addresses the issue of fault tolerant self organizing in wireless sensor networks. We propose a new architecture called the Redundant Tree network (RTN). RTN is a hierarchical network which exploits redundant links between nodes to provide reliability.

Due to the autonomous nature of ISPs, the service level agreement (SLA) offering is currently confined to within a single provider network. In this work, we examine some methods of extending the SLA offering across ISP boundaries. We introduce three policies to coordinate the end-to-end performance guarantee in multiple ISP networks: the least-effort, the most-effort, and the equal-distribution policies. These policies refer to different manners in which the service-level constraints are distributed among all transit networks. We study the impacts of these policies on the overall ISP community when SLA is required. We evaluate the effectiveness of these policies in terms of both the network performance and the ISP's monetary profit. The results show that the policy choice depends on the network load, as well as the ISP cost structure.

In HAVi, all software elements communicate with one another using the HAVi RMI (Remote Method Invocation), which is based on the request and response message exchanges among HAVi Messaging systems. Messaging System is the main building block of HAVi middleware. In this paper, we propose an approach to implement the HAVi message delivery mechanism. We discuss the design issues and implementation details of the binding between messages and the code that handles them. We adopt Java to implement the proposed architecture since it can increase the portability and reduce the development costs.

This paper deals with efficient utilization of network resources in an advanced broadband satellite access system. It proposes a technique for admission control of IP streams with guaranteed QoS which does not interfere with the particular BoD (Bandwidth on Demand) algorithm that handles access to uplink bandwidth, an essential part of a DVBRCS architecture. This feature of the admission control greatly simplify its integration in the satellite network. The purpose of this admission control algorithm in particular is to suitably and dynamically configure the overall traffic control parameters, in the access terminal of the user and service segment, with a simple approach which does not introduces limitations and/or constraints to the BoD algorithm. Performance of the proposed algorithm is evaluated thorugh Opnet simulations using an ad-hoc platform modeling DVB-based satellite access. The results presented in this paper were obtained within SATIP6 project, which is sponsored within the 5th EU Research Programme, IST. The aims of the project are to evaluate and demonstrate key issues of the integration of satellite-based access networks into the Internet in order to support multimedia services over wide areas. The satellite link layer is based on DVB-S on the forward link and DVB-RCS on the return link. Adaptation and optimization of the DVB-RCS access standard in order to support QoS provision are central issues of the project. They are handled through an integration of Connection Admission control (CAC), Traffic Shaping and Policing techniques.

This thesis addresses one of the important issues in designing future WDM opticalnetworks. Such networks are expected to employ an all-opticalcontrol plane for dissemination of network state information. It has recently been suggested that an efficient control plane will require non-blocking communication infrastructure and routing techniques. However, the irregular nature of most WDM networks does not lend itself to efficient non-blocking communications. It has been recently shown that hypercubes offer some very efficient non-blocking solutions for, all-to-all broadcast operations, which would be very attractive for control plane implementation. Such results can be utilized by embedding virtual structures in the physical network and doing the routing using properties of a virtual architecture. We will emphasize the hypercube due to its proven usefulness. In this thesis we propose three efficient heuristic methods for embedding a virtual hypercube in an irregular host network such that each node in the host network is either a hypercube node or a neighbor of a hypercube node. The latter will be called a "satellite" or "secondary" node. These schemes follow a step-by-step procedure for the embedding and for finding the physical path implementation of the virtual links while attempting to optimize certain metrics such as the number of wavelengths on each link and the average length of virtual link mappings. We have designed software that takes the adjacency list of an irregular topology as input and provides the adjacency list of a hypercube embedded in the original network. We executed this software on a number of irregular networks with different connectivities and compared the behavior of each of the three algorithms. The algorithms are compared with respect to their performance in trying to optimize several metrics. We also compare our algorithms to an already existing algorithm in the literature.
