We present IDTxl (the Information Dynamics Toolkit xl), a new open source Python toolbox for effective network inference from multivariate time series using information theory, available from GitHub (https://***/pwollstadt/IDTxl). Information theory (Cover & Thomas, 2006;MacKay, 2003;Shannon, 1948) is the mathematical theory of information and its transmission over communication channels. Information theory provides quantitative measures of the information content of a single random variable (entropy) and of the information shared between two variables (mutual information). The defined measures build on probability theory and solely depend on the probability distributions of the variables involved. As a consequence, the dependence between two variables can be quantified as the information shared between them, without the need to explicitly model a specific type of dependence. Hence, mutual information is a model-free measure of dependence, which makes it a popular choice for the analysis of systems other than communication channels. Transfer entropy (TE) (Schreiber, 2000) is an extension of mutual information that measures the directed information transfer between time series of a source and a target variable. TE has become popular in many scientific disciplines to infer dependencies and whole networks from data. Notable application domains include neuroscience (Wibral, Vicente, & Lindner, 2014) and dynamical systems analysis (Lizier, Prokopenko, & Zomaya, 2014) (see Bossomaier, Barnett, Harré, & Lizier (2016) for an introduction to TE and a comprehensive discussion of its application). In the majority of the applications, TE is used in a bivariate fashion, where information transfer is quantified between all sourcetarget pairs. In a multivariate setting, however, such a bivariate analysis may infer spurious or redundant interactions, where multiple sources provide the same information about the target. Conversely, bivariate analysis may also miss synergistic

Wireless Communication network is essential for railway environments as it provides safety and reliability for railway operation as well as improved railway services. Currently, Global System for Mobile communications Railways (GSM-R) is widely used in railway systems. It is believed that GSM-R system has availability and reliability thanks to its commercial success. At the same time, GSM-R has a lot of shortcomings in high speed transmission. As a result, the Long Term Evolution for Railway (LTE-R) is considered as the natural evolution for current (GSM-R) system. Trains travelling at very high speeds suffer from many handovers between cells. One of the essential targets of LTE is providing fast and seamless handover between cells. Hence, handover triggering decision is very important in the design of handover process. One of the major problems that cause radio link failure is the too late handover triggering. It occurs when the train is moving faster than the handover parameter settings. In this paper, we propose an optimized measurement handover procedure for High Speed Trains (HST) which can accelerate the measurement procedure when the train is moving toward a target cell with a higher speed than designed to compensate the train acceleration. As a result, too late handover probability will be reduced causing a subsequent reduction in radio link failure probability.

The reason why cellular mobile telephony systems exist is that they allow frequency reuse. Dynamic allocation algorithms improve the network efficiency and the service quality. Dynamic allocation is closely related to the following instantaneous allocation problem: given a number of channels (frequencies), a cell structure and the number of calls to be accommodated in each cell, find the optimum allocation of channels to cells subject to restrictions concerning the distance of cells, where the same frequency can be reused. In this paper we formulate and solve this problem by showing that it can be reduced to a 0-1 programming problem. Finally we present results, and draw subsequent conclusions.

In this paper, the performance of a new movable boundary accessing (MBA) technique for future integrated services multibeam satellite systems is studied. The multiservice environment considered includes both asynchronous and isochronous traffic consisting of video, voice, file transfer and interactive data. The movable boundary access technique proposed here will maximize the utilization of the up-link frame capacity. It is shown that the potential user population is substantially increased with the use of a moving boundary policy with minimal overhead.
