Mr. Abi Abate __________________ Advisor’s Name Signature Dimension and Radio Planning of WiMAX Network For Advanced Real-Time Two-Way Communication Services: Case of Addis Ababa-To-Djibouti ii Abstract Currently track circuit system is used for train controlling and signaling along Ethio-Djibouti railway line. However, track circuit system has a lot of limitations such as low data rate, narrow bandwidth, malfunction in bad weather and low reliability. Train control system is crucial issue that needs improvement in selected railway corridor. On other hand adopting entertainments for passengers will add a value for the company (Ethiopian Railway Corporation). This thesis work analyze, design and dimension the WiMAX network for advanced real-time two-way communications services for the case of Addis-to-Djibouti. The main significance of WiMAX network for the selected route is attaining robust train control system and providing fast enough communication for passengers, real-time services for stations and on board controllers, and etc... The study attempted in order to address the need to invest on more communication speed levels in Ethiopia and future available upgrade options from under construction system. In addition, levels of safety standards and train control technology are investigated by comparing with other communication systems. The research objectives endeavored by identifying series of steps towards achieving the best communication system along the selected route which can provide wide bandwidth. This will result safe, efficient and competitive transportation system. The study mainly focus on WiMAX network coverage and capacity calculation in order to get appropriate position for transmitters (BTS) along the selected route. The numerical and simulation results offer a best mobile broadband network for different purposes on the specific transportation system such as train control, signaling, online ticketing, real time multimedia, online gaming and downloading. The study methodologies selected are qualitative, quantitative and analytical data analysis methods and similarly data presentation methods of the study include, not exclusively; graphs, charts, tabular formation and in words. Finally computer aided simulation have done by using Atoll software and matlab. The scope of the research outlined is discussion concerning only the components of railroad infrastructure which are both technical and non-technical in their nature. The final outputs of the study are documented series of technical measures that will enable Ethiopian rail service to boost its communication system speed. Key-words Mobile Broadband communication Architecture, Railway, WiMAX, IEEE802.6. Dimension and Radio Planning of WiMAX Network For Advanced Real-Time Two-Way Communication Services: Case of Addis Ababa-To-Djibouti iii Acknowledgement First of all, I have no word to thank the almighty God. Also the work accounted in this thesis would not have been possible without the support and assistance of a great many people around me.

Nowadays, it presents a high density of commercial activities, including markets that generate important flows of goods and people at different scale, putting some pressure over roads and public spaces. In the midterm, national freight transit shall boom, along with the development of the national road network and the integration of the new railway into the logistic system. 477 000 trips are made daily in Dire Dawa. Mobility patterns reveal a relatively high propension to move (1.8 daily trips per inhabitants). Dire Dawa is located on a secondary national/international freight corridor between Addis Abeba and Djibouti, meaning that a signifcant volume of trucks transits through the city. Dire Dawa currently does not have any transport master plan. Two railway lines currently serve Dire Dawa. The century old Ethio-Djiboutian railway is now nearly disused and only keeps one or two regional services between Dire Dawa and Dewele at the Djibutian border. The new Chinese built railway line between Addis Abeba and Djibouti is operating since 2018 and is increasing both passenger and freight services with a planned dry port near the new station.

Traded across different corridors of Negassi Amaha borderland, Ethiopia’s CBLT were traditionally, destined to middle east countries, were the Eastern trade Department of Animal Sciences, Haramaya University, Haramaya, corridor with Somalia involves massive border crossing livestock trade and stand first in terms of traded Ethiopia volume and values. Nonetheless, a significant proportion of CBLT along Sudan, Kenya and Djibouti corridors were also carried out across northwestern, southern and northeastern parts of the country respectively. Livestock sector in Ethiopia, supporting more than 65% of the population and contributes more than 12–15% of total export earnings of the country. However, in recent year, the evidences show that, the trends of official livestock export were declining while, informal export is exponentially increasing. The role of CBLT, on the livelihoods of herders and economy of the country were loomed in the forms of its short- or long-term impacts. In short term, it improves the livelihoods of herders and/or traders through; assisting food security in supplying foods item to the food deficit areas, raising incomes to herders/traders through selling their animals at border crossing/international markets and creates employment opportunity for traders, trekkers or brokers.

The rail link is of utter significance both to Ethiopia and to Djibouti, as it would not only renovate this tiny African nation into a multimodal transport hub but also will provide competitive advantage over other regional ports. The pre-feasibility study conducted in 2007 emphasized the importance of the renovation of the project from economic and financial angle. However, as a part of GTP of Ethiopia this project has been restored with Chinese intervention. The operation expected in 2016. The proposed project is likely to provide multiple benefits such as time saving, reduction in road maintenance costs, fuel savings, employment generation, reduction in pollution, foreign exchange earnings and revenue generation. These benefits will accrue to government, passengers, general public and to society in nutshell. Here an economic analysis has been carried out to evaluate certain benefits that the project will realize against the cost streams in 25 years. The NPV of the cost streams @ 12% calculated to be 6831.30 million US$. The economic internal rate of return of investments will be 18.90 percent.

If the case load mentioned refers only to refugees, asylum seekers or trafficked persons, it will be clearly stated. Country Events / trends / data / analysis Movement: Migrants/refugees move from the Horn of Africa (Ethiopia and Somalia) to Yemen and Saudi Arabia Yemen New arrivals: In January, an estimated number of 8,755 migrant/refugees from the Horn of Africa reportedly crossed the Red Sea (Djibouti) and the Arabian Sea (Bossasso) and reached the Yemeni coasts; 1,177 females (13% of total migrants) made the crossing. This represents an almost 2 percent decrease in arrivals from December 2014. The minor change in volume between December and January is typical in recent years. Proportions: Those reaching Yemen comprised: 1,242 Somalis, 7,507 Ethiopians and 6 Eritreans; Approximately 85 per cent of migrants/refugees were Ethiopian and 14 per cent Somali, a trend continually observed during the last quarter of 2014, although the proportion of Ethiopians is gradually increasing. In 2012 and 2013 the proportions were closer to 80/20 per cent. Boats and passengers: An estimated 141 boats arrived on the coast of Yemen in January 2015.
