Community-based networks, and particularly community cellular networks, can sustainably support services even in these extremely rural areas where traditional commercial network operators cannot. However, community cellular networks face a variety of technical, business, and regulatory challenges that hamper their proliferation. In this thesis, we aim to develop approaches to enable scale within and across community cellular networks. Through a mixed-methods study of more than 80 rural wireless Internet service providers, a related class of network operators, we identify key scaling challenges rural network operators face. We next present two approaches for addressing these challenges in the context of community cellular networks. The first, GSM Whitespaces, demonstrates that rural community cellular networks can safely share spectrum in bands occupied by incumbent mobile network operators, removing a key barrier to independent operation. The second, CCM, shows how community networks and incumbent mobile network operators can cooperate to share resources to extend service. We will explore each of these approaches through practical systems and longitudinal deployments of community cellular networks in Southeast Asia that provide service to thousands of rural people. i For the people doing the work to make the community networking vision a reality. ii Contents Contents ii List of Figures iv List of Tablesv 1 Introduction1 1.1 Summary of Results ............................... 6 1.2 Dissertation Outline ............................... 7 2 Understanding the Rural Challenge9 2.1 Background.................................... 9 2.2 The Challenges of Scaling WISPs........................ 11 2.3 Methodology ................................... 12 2.4 WISP Demographics............................... 13 2.5 Operational Challenges.............................. 13 2.6 The Role of Automation............................. 20 2.7 Conclusions.................................... 22 3 Shared Spectrum for Community Cellular 24 3.1 A Brief History of Spectrum Regulation .................... 26 3.2 Dynamic Spectrum for Community Cellular .................. 29 3.3 Community Cellular Networks.......................... 31 3.4 GSM Whitespaces................................. 33 3.5 Nomadic GSM .................................. 35 3.6 Opportunities, Risks, and Incentives ...................... 39 3.7 Evaluation and Deployment ........................... 43 3.8 Discussion..................................... 52 3.9 Conclusion..................................... 54 4 Scaling Community Cellular Networks with CCM 56 4.1 Related Work................................... 57 4.2 Design Goals ................................... 59 iii 4.3 System Design................................... 60 4.4 Deployments.................................... 69 4.5 Evaluation..................................... 74 4.6 Discussion..................................... 85 4.7 Conclusion..................................... 87 5 Conclusion 89 5.1 Open Challenges ................................. 90 5.2 Lessons Learned and Closing Thoughts..................... 92 Bibliography 110 iv List of Figures 2.1 Network outage frequency by failure mode in rural WISPs............. 18 3.1 Overview of Nomadic GSM.............................. 30 3.2 The hidden node problem............................... 30 3.3 Indonesian cellular coverage as of 2013 across all carriers.............. 34 3.4 Layout of indoor test environment for Nomadic GSM................ 45 3.5 Handset uplink spectrum usage during a call. ................... 46 3.6 Spectrum usage during simulated arrival of a primary into the secondary's service area........................................... 47 3.7 Measurement report interarrival times from Papua deployment. ......... 49 3.8 Measurement report time series from Papua deployment.............. 50 3.9 Spectrum usage and scanning results from Papua deployment........... 51 4.1 CCM high level architecture.............................. 60 4.2 CCM Client architecture. .............................. 62 4.3 Illustrative CCM Client hardware components. .................. 63 4.4 CCM web user interface................................ 65 4.5 Typical University of Philippines site installation.................. 69 4.6 University of Philippines site deployments...................... 71 4.7 Aerial view of Dilasag site............................... 72 4.8 Globe proof-of-concept sites.............................. 72 4.9 Map of sites in Phillipines deployment........................ 75 4.10 Monthly active users by site type........................... 80 4.11 Site uptime by site type................................ 81 4.12 Distribution of CCM checkin sizes. ......................... 82 4.13 The infographic for the local repair service...................... 83 v List of Tables 2.2 WISP network management practices and upstream ISP redundancy. 20 3.1 A summary of wide-band spectrum occupancy studies............... 25 3.2 Bandplan for the GSM900 band in Indonesia. ................... 33 3.3 Parameters used for Nomadic GSM.......................... 44 3.4 Results of primary and secondary coexistence tests................. 48 3.5 Service utilization before and after Nomadic GSM in Papua deployment..... 50 4.1 Philippines deployment site launch dates....................... 76 4.2 Example site cost breakdown for a Globe site.................... 77 4.3 Example site cost breakdown for a University of the Philippines site. 78 4.4 Example monthly operating expense for University of Philippines site. 79 4.5 Volume of usage by service type. .......................... 79 4.6 Site outage duration by cause in University of Philippines sites. ......... 85 A.1 Q1.

    Anton is a leading experts on Real Time Anton Venema Communications solutions, and the 1 Chief Technology Officer visionary lead architect behind IceLink, WebSync and LiveSwitch. iRTC Internet-Based Real Time Communications Introduction What’s the first thought that comes into your mind when you think about real-time communications? Is it a phone call you had a few minutes ago? A text message sent to your mobile? Maybe something more modern, like a tweet or video broadcast? All of these fall under the umbrella of what we like to call Internet-based real time communications, or iRTC for short. Real-time communications have been a part of our lives for a long time. From public telephone networks to radios all the way back to the telegraph, humanity has a history of seeking out new and better ways to use technology to improve communication. In the past decade, technology has arguably advanced more than the past century before it. Smartphones have stormed the market, mobile processors are advancing in line with Moore’s law, LTE rollouts are delivering unprecedented Internet speeds across the world, and WiFi hotspots are becoming ubiquitous. iRTC Includes Many Applications The availability of high-speed Internet services just about everywhere is causing a fundamental shift in the way people want to communicate and consume media. Cable networks are finding it more difficult to distinguish between their Internet and TV services, especially when companies like Netflix and HBO are able to publish their content directly to consumers over the Internet. Even live broadcasts, TV’s last stronghold, are being slowly replaced as platforms like YouTube allow content to be broadcast live to millions of users simultaneously over the Internet.

  • Long-Term Data Traffic Forecasting for Network Dimensioning in LTE With
    electronics Article Long-Term Data Traffic Forecasting for Network Dimensioning in LTE with Short Time Series Carolina Gijón * , Matías Toril , Salvador Luna-Ramírez , María Luisa Marí-Altozano and José María Ruiz-Avilés Instituto de Telecomunicaciones (TELMA), Universidad de Málaga, CEI Andalucía TECH, 29071 Málaga, Spain; [email protected] (M.T.); [email protected] (S.L.-R.); [email protected] (M.L.M.-A.); [email protected] (J.M.R.-A.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Network dimensioning is a critical task in current mobile networks, as any failure in this process leads to degraded user experience or unnecessary upgrades of network resources. For this purpose, radio planning tools often predict monthly busy-hour data traffic to detect capacity bottle- necks in advance. Supervised Learning (SL) arises as a promising solution to improve predictions obtained with legacy approaches. Previous works have shown that deep learning outperforms classical time series analysis when predicting data traffic in cellular networks in the short term (sec- onds/minutes) and medium term (hours/days) from long historical data series. However, long-term forecasting (several months horizon) performed in radio planning tools relies on short and noisy time series, thus requiring a separate analysis. In this work, we present the first study comparing SL and time series analysis approaches to predict monthly busy-hour data traffic on a cell basis in a live LTE network. To this end, an extensive dataset is collected, comprising data traffic per cell for a whole country during 30 months. The considered methods include Random Forest, different Citation: Gijón, C.; Toril, M.; Neural Networks, Support Vector Regression, Seasonal Auto Regressive Integrated Moving Average Luna-Ramírez, S.; Marí-Altozano, and Additive Holt–Winters.

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is a multimedia signalling protocol that has evolved into a widely adopted communication standard. The integration of SIP into existing IP networks has fostered IP networks becoming a convergence platform for both real- time and non-real-time multimedia communications. This converged platform integrates data, voice, video, presence, messaging, and conference services into a single network that offers new communication experiences for users. The open source community has contributed to SIP adoption through the development of open source software for both SIP clients and servers. In this paper, we provide a survey on open SIP systems that can be built using publically available software. We identify SIP features for service deve- lopment and programming, services and applications of a SIP-converged platform, and the most important technologies support- ing SIP functionalities. We propose an advanced converged IP communication platform that uses SIP for service delivery.

  • Global Systems Performance Analysis for Mobile Communications (Gsm) Using Cellular Network Codecs
    GLOBAL SYSTEMS PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS FOR MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS (GSM) USING CELLULAR NETWORK CODECS MaphuthegoEtu Maditsi, Thulani Phakathi, Francis Lugayizi and MichaelEsiefarienrhe Department of Computer Science, North West University, Mahikeng, South Africa ABSTRACT Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM) is a cellular network that is popular and has been growing in recent years. It was developed to solve fragmentation issues of the first cellular system, and it addresses digital modulation methods, level of the network structure, and services. It is fundamental for organizations to become learning organizations to keep up with the technology changes for network services to be at a competitive level. A simulation analysisusing the NetSim tool in this paper is presented for comparing different cellular network codecsfor GSM network performance. Theseparameters such as throughput, delay, and jitter are analyzed for the quality of service provided by each network codec. Unicast application for the cellular network is modeled for different network scenarios. Depending on the evaluation and simulation, it was discovered that G.711, GSM_FR, and GSM-EFR performed better than the other codecs, and they are considered to be the best codecs for cellular networks.These codecs will be of best use to better the performance of the network in the near future. KEYWORDS GSM, CODECS, Cellular Network, G.711, GSM_FR, GSM-EFR. 1. INTRODUCTION Cellular Networks play an important role in most organizations in the Information Technology (IT) field and countries as it potentially improve the economic growth and it also contributes extremely to human development and employment. Mobile communication networks equally help in sharing and gathering information [1].
