  • Public Address System Network Design Considerations
    AtlasIED APPLICATION NOTE Public Address System Network Design Considerations Background AtlasIED provides network based Public Address Systems (PAS) that are deployed on a wide variety of networks at end user facilities worldwide. As such, a primary factor, directly impacting the reliability of the PAS, is a properly configured, reliable, well-performing network on which the PAS resides/functions. AtlasIED relies solely upon the end user’s network owner/manager for the design, provision, configuration and maintenance of the network, in a manner that enables proper PAS functionability/functionality. Should the network on which the PAS resides be improperly designed, configured, maintained, malfunctions or undergoes changes or modifications, impacts to the reliability, functionality or stability of the PAS can be expected, resulting in system anomalies that are outside the control of AtlasIED. In such instances, AtlasIED can be a resource to, and support the end user’s network owner/manager in diagnosing the problems and restoring the PAS to a fully functioning and reliable state. However, for network related issues, AtlasIED would look to the end user to recover the costs associated with such activities. While AtlasIED should not be expected to actually design a facility’s network, nor make formal recommendations on specific network equipment to use, this application note provides factors to consider – best practices – when designing a network for public address equipment, along with some wisdom and possible pitfalls that have been gleaned from past experiences in deploying large scale systems. This application note is divided into the following sections: n Local Network – The network that typically hosts one announcement controller and its peripherals.

  • Aperformance Analysis for Umts Packet Switched
    International Journal of Next-Generation Networks (IJNGN), Vol.2, No.1, M arch 2010 A PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS FOR UMTS PACKET SWITCHED NETWORK BASED ON MULTIVARIATE KPIS Ye Ouyang and M. Hosein Fallah, Ph.D., P.E. Howe School of Technology Management Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, NJ, USA 07030 [email protected] [email protected] ABSTRACT Mobile data services are penetrating mobile markets rapidly. The mobile industry relies heavily on data service to replace the traditional voice services with the evolution of the wireless technology and market. A reliable packet service network is critical to the mobile operators to maintain their core competence in data service market. Furthermore, mobile operators need to develop effective operational models to manage the varying mix of voice, data and video traffic on a single network. Application of statistical models could prove to be an effective approach. This paper first introduces the architecture of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) packet switched (PS) network and then applies multivariate statistical analysis to Key Performance Indicators (KPI) monitored from network entities in UMTS PS network to guide the long term capacity planning for the network. The approach proposed in this paper could be helpful to mobile operators in operating and maintaining their 3G packet switched networks for the long run. KEYWORDS UMTS; Packet Switch; Multidimensional Scaling; Network Operations, Correspondence Analysis; GGSN; SGSN; Correlation Analysis. 1. INTRODUCTION Packet switched domain of 3G UMTS network serves all data related services for the mobile subscribers. Nowadays people have a certain expectation for their experience of mobile data services that the mobile wireless environment has not fully met since the speed at which they can access their packet switching services has been limited.

Researchers conducted studies to achieve the implementation of the mentioned distributions efficiently, within the available spectrum. This paper aims to highlight the importance of URLLC in accordance with the approaching era of technology and industry requirements. While highlighting a few implementation issues of URLLC, concerns for the Internet of things (IoT) devices that depend on the low latency and reliable communications of URLLC are also addressed. In this paper, the recent progress of 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) standardization and the implementation of URLLC are included. Finally, the research areas that are open for further investigation in URLLC implementation are highlighted, and efficient implementation of URLLC is discussed. Keywords: 5G; URLLC; 3GPP; 5G NR; LTE; IoT 1. Introduction With the everyday increase in data traffic requirements ranging from mission-critical to massive machine connectivity, the anticipation of the fifth-generation (5G) is growing at an exponential rate.
