ABSTRACT
In next generation wireless network the most desirable feature is its ability to move seamlessly over various
access network regardless of the network infrastructure is used. The handover between these dissimilar networks
can be explored by using vertical handover algorithms. This paper focuses on the vertical handover decision
methods and algorithms effectiveness. Most of the algorithms which are based on RSS values provide vertical
handover with small delay at a lower rate of throughput. There are such algorithms which provide significant
improvements in throughput but at a cost of higher delays. As per the need for the real time applications in next
generation wireless networks there is a requirement of developing new optimized algorithms that are able to
produce high throughput and minimizing signaling cost and delay.

ABSTRACT
Internet banking has the potential to provide fast and reliable services to customers for which they are relatively
happy. Due to the technological changes taking place all over the world, many institutions, including the banking
sector have taken giant steps to move in tandem with these changes. In this light most banks, with GCB Bank,
Ghana, not being an exception have introduced electronic banking in order to decongest the banking halls of
customers who spend time unending in order to transact business. The purpose of this research was to assess the
Contribution of Electronic Banking to Customer Satisfaction at GCB Bank-Koforidua, to this end some
objectives were set for the study. These were: To assess the availability of electronic banking facilities at GCB
Bank, Koforidua. To assess the knowledge and patronage of internet banking services by customers, to examine
the effectiveness of the usage of electronic banking facilities, to examine the problem facing an internet banking
in GCB Bank, Koforidua. This is a quantitative study that employed the use of questionnaires as the main tools
for data collection. Data was collected from management, staff and customers of GCB Bank, Koforidua Branch.
Findings from analysis of data revealed that though there was the existence of internet banking facilities of the
bank, respondents of the study were not fully aware of the existence of such facilities. It was also found that the
use of internet banking was quite expensive and that though the bank was utilizing the facility, customers were
not fully patronizing them. It was concluded that internet banking brings efficiency in the operations of the bank.
Finally, the study recommended that all branches of GCB Bank adopt internet banking facilities to help in
effective banking operations and transactional purposes. To maximize the operations and potential of the bank
management must endeavor to educate the customers about the existence of internet banking facilities since a
few customers were aware of the existence of such facilities.

ABSTRACT
The growth of wireless communication technologies has been producing the intense demand for high-speed,
efficient, reliable voice & data communication. As a result, third generation partnership project (3GPP) has
implemented next generation wireless communication technology long term evolution (LTE) which is designed
to increase the capacity and speed of existing mobile telephone & data networks. LTE has adopted a multicarrier
transmission technique known as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). OFDM meets the LTE
requirement for spectrum flexibility and enables cost-efficient solutions for very wide carriers. One major
generic problem of OFDM technique is high peak to average power ratio (PAPR) which is defined as the ratio of
the peak power to the average power of the OFDM signal. A trade-off is necessary for reducing PAPR with
increasing bit error rate (BER), computational complexity or data rate loss etc. In this paper, two clipping based
filtering methods have been implemented & also analyzed their modulation effects on reducing PAPR.

OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) has been raised a new modulation technique. Due to its
advantages in multipath fading channel e.g. robust against ISI, ICI and some other advantages like best QoS for
multiple users, efficient usage of bandwidth it is suggested to be the modulation technique for next generation 4G
networks e.g. LTE. But along with all its advantages there are some disadvantages also e.g. High PAPR (Peak to
Average Power Ratio) at the transmitter end and BER (Bit Error Rate) at the receiving end. Since OFDM is only
used in the downlink of 4G networks. To reduce the problems of OFDM some techniques e.g. SLM, PTS,
Clipping, Coding, & Pre-coding etc are suggested but none of them is reduce the PAPR and BER to an
acceptable value. This Paper will discuss some techniques of PAPR & BER reduction, and their advantages and
disadvantages in detail.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS ON THE BASIS OF A COMPARATIVE STUDY
BETWEEN MULTIPATH RAYLEIGH FADING AND AWGN CHANNEL IN THE
PRESENCE OF VARIOUS INTERFERENCE

Interference is the most important issue for present wireless communication. There are various kinds of channel
used in wireless communication. Here I want to show a performance analysis on the basis of two different
channels – AWGN and Multipath Rayleigh fading channel. This is the comparative analysis with different kinds
of modulation techniques. Here I have also measured the Bit Error Rate with respect to different modulation
techniques and compare the rate in different channels. My objective is to compare the different characteristics of
the transmitter and receiver for different types of channels and modulators.
