Long term evolution (LTE) is replacing the 3G services slowly but steadily and become a preferred choice
for data for human to human (H2H) services and now it is becoming preferred choice for voice also. In
some developed countries the traditional 2G services gradually decommissioned from the service and
getting replaced with LTE for all H2H services. LTE provided high downlink and uplink bandwidth
capacity and is one of the technology like mobile ad hoc network (MANET) and vehicular ad hoc network
(VANET) being used as the backbone communication infrastructure for vehicle networking applications.
When Compared to VANET and MANET, LTE provides wide area of coverage and excellent infrastructure
facilities for vehicle networking. This helps in transmitting the vehicle information to the operator and
downloading certain information into the vehicle nodes (VNs) from the operators server. As per the ETSI
publications the number of machine to machine communication (MTC) devices are expected to touch 50
billion by 2020 and this will surpass H2H communication. With growing congestion in the LTE network,
accessing the network for any request from VN especially during peak hour is a big challenge because of
the congestion in random access channel (RACH). In this paper we will analyse this RACH congestion
problem with the data from the live network. Lot of algorithms are proposed for resolving the RACH
congestion on the basis of simulation results so we would like to present some practical data from the live
network to this issue to understand the extent RACH congestion issue in the real time scenario.
Ericsson Review: HSPA evolution for future mobile-broadband needsEricsson
As HSPA evolution continues to address the needs of changing user behavior, new techniques develop and become standardized.

Quality of service performances of video and voice transmission in universal ...journalBEEI
The universal mobile telecommunications system (UMTS) has distinct benefits in that it supports a wide range of quality of service (QoS) criteria that users require in order to fulfill their requirements. The transmission of video and audio in real-time applications places a high demand on the cellular network, therefore QoS is a major problem in these applications. The ability to provide QoS in the UMTS backbone network necessitates an active QoS mechanism in order to maintain the necessary level of convenience on UMTS networks. For UMTS networks, investigation models for end-to-end QoS, total transmitted and received data, packet loss, and throughput providing techniques are run and assessed and the simulation results are examined. According to the results, appropriate QoS adaption allows for specific voice and video transmission. Finally, by analyzing existing QoS parameters, the QoS performance of 4G/UMTS networks may be improved.

Multicast routing protocol for advanced vehicular ad hoc networksTELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Transport sector has great impact on our daily life. Despite the huge number of vehicular models, driving process still faces many challenges due to the lack information about the roads and the surrounding sudden events, which can result in high number of accidents globally and especially in Saudi Arabia. A new technology, vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs), has emerged to support Intelligent Transport System (ITS) and to offer advanced solutions for drivers to avoid different hazard events that occur on the road. In this paper, we discuss the multicast and broadcast communications in VANETs, Quality of Sevice (QoS) awaregroup addressing/managing solutions to VANETs which help inclassifying different application that explore and design a new cross-layer framework, aware of high mobility and efficiency.

Video streaming over Ad hoc on-demand distance vector routing protocoljournalBEEI
Video streaming is content sent in compressed form over the netwoks and viwed the users progressively. The transmission of video with the end goal that it can be prepared as consistent and nonstop stream. The point is that to give client support to client at anyplace and at whatever time. Mobile Ad hoc Networks (MANETs) are considered an attractive nertwork for information transmission in many applications where the customer programme can begin showing the information before the whole record has been transmitted.
Ad hoc On-demand Distance Vector (AODV) protocol is considered as one of the most important routing protocols in MANET. However, routing protocols assume a crucial part in transmission of information over the network. This paper investigates the performance of AODV Routing Protocol under video traffic over PHY IEEE 802.11g. The protocol model was developed in OPNET. Different outcomes from simulation based models are analyzed and appropriate reasons are also discussed. A different scenarios of video streaming were used. The metric in terms of throughput, end to end delay, packet delivery ratio and routing overhead were measured.
A comparision with GRP and GRP are also reported.
Multimedia streaming over Mobile Ad Hoc networks has been a very challenging issue due to the dynamic
behavior and uncertain nature of the channels. Transmission of real time video has bandwidth, delay and
loss requirements. However there are no Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees for video transmission in
today’s network. There are many challenging issues that need to be addressed in designing mechanisms for
video transmission, which include end-to-end Quality of Service, Bandwidth, Delay, Loss, Congestion, and
Heterogeneity. The Challenges of delivering Multi-media signals are even pronounced in Wireless
Networks (Mobile Ad Hoc Networks, Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) and Cellular Networks) which are heavily
bandwidth constrained and have no fixed infrastructures. In this Research we provide a theoretical model
for minimum buffer size as a means of achieving smoother, higher quality streaming video. This Research
presents a general optimal video smoothing algorithm based on the concept of dynamically controlled
Coefficient of Variance (CV), which is the ratio of standard deviation of the end-to-end delay and the
expected value of the delay for each ensemble of packets being transmitted through the network. The results
discuss how the size of the “receive buffer” is affected by the allocated bandwidth for each source-pair end
users for supporting video streaming applications without any gaps. The simulation performance show that
the dynamic client buffer size based on measured bandwidth variation achieves negligible jitter in the video
streaming which is subjectively acceptable.

4G is expected to get deployed by many telecom
companies in this year. Technologies employed by 4G being
tested and going to hit the commercial market soon. When
fully implemented, 4G is expected to offer high speed
transmission and provide seamless handoffs across multiple
high speed heterogeneous networks. These heterogeneous
networks on converged platform provide access to varied
services over an IPv6 core. Convergence & high speed would
provide opportunity to end user to use compounded services
from varied network providers; this will lead to big challenge
for accounting, Charging and billing. This paper in
continuation of our previous papers [7][21] discusses a
Convergent Framework Architecture (CFA) which provides a
unified bill to the user for all his compounded usage across
varied network operators. The CFA introduces a trusted third
party operator called the Convergent Network Operator
(CNO) to achieve a transparent charging, accounting and
unified billing provisions. The functionality of the CFA is
demonstrated with a prototype. We were able to realize unified
bill to end user for the usage of different type of service from
varied network providers. This concept and business model
will bring better Quality of service (QoS) not only at
competitive price but also provide independence and choice to
users to opt for specific services from Quality network
operators. These instructions give you basic guidelines for
preparing camera-ready papers for ACEEE’s conference

A Modified Fault Tolerant Location-Based Service Discovery Protocol for Vehic...acijjournal
In the recent years, advances in Vehicular networks have attracted special attraction of researchers. Lately two types of applications have gain popularity: Road safety and Driving comfort. Reliable data transformation in the city environment is hard to accomplish due to presence of noise and obstacles. In
addition transient or permanent faults of vehicles or roadside routers (road components) are unavoidable, so we need a fault tolerant algorithm to overcome such failures. Although utilizing faulttolerant techniques cause to more efficiency and reliability in service discovery for vehicle networks, there are many few service discovery algorithms that have considered fault- tolerant techniques. In this paper we have improved one of these algorithms which is named Fault-Tolerant Location-Based
Vehicular Service Discovery Protocol (FLocVSD) in order to being more reliable.

Ensuring Security in Emergency through SMS Alert SystemEditor IJCATR
Short Message Services are increasingly being relied upon to disseminate critical information during emergencies. In recent
days accident happens very common due to heavy traffic and increase in vehicle level and bad drivers, hence it requires a software to
inform the service centre for instant help to save life of the people. Sending the nearest emergency service and/or police officers
needed for reporting the accident can be quite tedious. The idea of this work is to reduce the time required by the emergency
personnel to reach the accident area. This can be done if the information about an accident reaches the emergency services in time and
accurately. The project eliminates any communication between the victim and the personnel which leads to confusion. This is done by
finding the accurate position of the location by making use of the GPS services available in cell phones when the victim sends a
message to the emergency number(such as 108). The project aims at reducing the severe loss due to injury and fatality rate in accidents
to a great extent.
An Efficient Call Admission Control Scheme for Handling Handoffs in Wireless ...pijans
Personal Communication Network (PCN) is an emerging wireless network that promises many new
services for the telecommunication industry. The proliferation of demands for extending wireless services
to integrated services, which supports the transmission of data and multimedia information, has resulted in
the need for broadband wireless systems that are able to provide service capabilities similar to those of
wire line networks. The ATM cell - relay paradigm is one possible approach to provide broadband wireless
transmission with PCN’s using the ATM switching networks for interconnection of PCN cells. As traffic in
these mobile cellular networks increases, Handoffs will become an increasingly important issue. As cell
sizes shrink to accommodate an increasingly large demand of services, newer more efficient handoff
schemes need to be used. In this paper, the authors describe the use of novel and efficient data structure
which dynamically allocates guard channel for handoffs and introduces the concept of channel borrowing
strategy. The proposed scheme allocates the guard channels for handoff requests dynamically, based on the
traffic load for certain time period. A new originating call in the cell coverage area also uses these guard
channels if they are unused. Our basic idea is to allow Guard channels to be shared between new calls and
handoff calls. This approach maximizes the channel utilization. The simulation results prove that the
channel borrowing scheme improves the overall throughput.

Despite the increasing roll-out of broadband terrestrial services like DSL, a

access services. Bridging this digital divide is high on the agenda of decision
makers because broadband penetration has high economic impact on a
country. The service cannot be limited to cities. This requirement is translated
into 100% service obligations for Internet Service Providers (ISPs) covering
the whole territory of a country or region. Running these services in an
economically viable way is a major challenge.

2. 1090 IEEE TELEDNA MZONE PHOTO SHARING, VOL. 43, NO. 2, MARCH 2013
In the next section, we mainly concentrate on discussing
the background information required for understanding this
research topic.
II. BACKGROUND
A. SMSC SUITE
SMS is a phenomenal success worldwide. Operators are
continuously deploying new and innovative SMS services.
This is leading to huge SMS usage, in turn Operators are
required to deploy very high capacity, scalable and robust
SMSC systems. Some of the innovative SMS based services
require special features on the SMSC.
TeleDNA SMSC enables Operators to keep pace with growing
SMS demand and the requirement for special features.
TeleDNA SMSC provides innovative features such as
Messaging personalization, Messaging Ad, Message
Forwarding, Emoticon Service, etc.
TeleDNA SMSC is a carrier grade platform providing 99.999
% high availability of the system. The SMSC clustered
architecture is modular and can scale up to 50,000 sms/sec
B. SMS Gateway:
SMS is a widely used value added service in Mobile Network.
(SMS as a value added service has seen the highest usage). To
cater for ever increasing SMS traffic from SMS based
services, Network Operators have to deploy multiple SMSCs.
To ease the integration of External SMS based application
with multiple SMSC, Mobile network operators will require a
SMS Gateway.
SMS Gateway facilitates ease of communication between
External SMS based Application and SMSC for delivering
value added service to mobile users. SMS Gateway provides
PUSH, PULL services for mobile users.
Mobile originated short messages are routed by the SMS
Gateway to appropriate external SMS based applications.
Application originated short messages are routed by the SMS
Gateway to appropriate SMSC.
The SMS Gateway is equipped with Uplink and Downlink
routing logic which can be configured by operators as per their
requirement (To address, Keyword, Round Robin, NID range
etc..).
C. SMS Router
SMS is a widely used value added service in Mobile Network.
(SMS as a value added service has seen the highest usage).
Mobile users are using SMS for fast communication and
expect instantaneous delivery of the message to the
destination. Any delay or failure to deliver the SMS message
leads to a discontent subscriber and may eventually churn of
the subscriber.
To cater for ever increasing SMS traffic, Network Operators
have to deploy multiple SMSCs. These SMSCs require unique
"Service Center Address". Mobile subscribers use the SMSC
as per the 呸Service Center Address呸 configured on
their mobile. Deploying new SMSC in Mobile Telecom
Network for a new subscriber base or for existing
subscriber base has an impact as the "Service center
address" is burned on SIM.
To efficiently use multiple SMSCs deployed in the
network, Operators are using SMSRouter. The
SMSRouter give the flexibility to the Operator to
configure only single "Service Center Address" for their
subscriber. SMSRouter distributes the MO-SMS short
message across multiple SMSCs based on defined
Routing Hierarchy. Advance routing techniques (such
as Loadbalancing Round-robin / SMSC Capacity, To
Address, From Address, Default) help to effectively
route the MO-SMS messages across multiple SMSCs
improving the efficiency and provide a fail-safe
mechanism .
for handling SMS messages.
D. MMSC: Multimedia Message Service Center
With the deployment of next generation networks and availability
of feature packed handsets, Multimedia Messaging Service has
once again become the buzz in mobile messaging. Almost all the
handsets are now supporting data services (GPRS, CDMA1x) and
have MMS Client. Mobile subscribers using these handsets can
easily send content rich multimedia messages. To cater for the
surge in Multimedia Messaging Operators are required to install
high capacity MMSC Systems in their network.
Multimedia Messaging Service is based on open specification
defined by 3GPP, 3GPP2 and Open Mobile Alliance (OMA).
TeleDNA MMSC is standards compliance system and can be
deployed in GSM, GPRS and CDMA (2G/3G) Networks. It
seamlessly integrates with multivendor network elements and also
with MMSCs of other Operators.
TeleDNA MMSC is a carrier grade platform providing 99.999 %
high availability of the system. The MMSC clustered architecture
is modular and can scale upto 20000 mms/sec.
3. III. PROBLEM DEFINITION
E. MMS Gateway
In the early stages of text messaging (SMS) introduction the
traffic was very less. This was mainly due to the lack of
customer awareness of the service and lack of interoperability
between networks. Customers of operator A were not able to
send to customers of operator B. This was a major road block
in generating revenue for mobile operators. To solve this
problem, several SMSC gateways were introduced to
interconnect these operator's SMSC's. This contributed to the
huge generation of SMS traffic.
Today, picture or multimedia messaging (MMS) service is
introduced by almost every operator in the world. However,
MMS interoperability does not exist between operators. This
is contributing to customer dissatisfaction and very low
revenue generation for the mobile operators.
Mobile operators around the world realize that MMS
interoperability is a challenge. Interoperability between
operators' MMS networks will accelerate the user adaptation
and contribute to good revenue generation. Implementing
interoperability with every other operator in the world is a
biggest challenge and very time consuming process.
F. A2P SMSC 呸 Application-To-Person Short
Message Service Center
To offload this burst of high traffic from conventional
SMSCs, there is a need for deploying A2P SMSC. The Mobile
Operators can use A2P SMSC to push promotional bulk
short messages to mobile subscribers.
TeleDNA A2P SMSC is a carrier grade platform that
interfaces with the mobile network elements: STPs,
SSTPs, GMSCs on SS7 / SIGTRAN (SUA/M3UA)
interfaces. The platform can scale from 1 sms/sec to
25000 sms/sec.
G. CBC
Cell Broadcast is a mobile technology that allows text
messages to be broadcasted to all mobile handsets and similar
devices within a designated geographical area. The broadcast
range varies from a small area (single cell) to the entire
network coverage area (PLMN).
Cell Broadcast technology is used to provide
services such as Emergency Alerts, Breaking News, Traffic
Conditions, Sports News, Stock News, etc. to mobile
subscribers currently located in a specific geographic area.
Cell Broadcast is designed for simultaneous delivery of text
messages to multiple users in a specified area. Cell Broadcast
is one-to-many geographically focused service, in contrast to
Short Message Service (SMS) which is one-to-one and
one-to-few service.
TeleDNA Cell Broadcast Center (CBC) allows Telecom
Operator to have a complete control over the cell broadcast
message on its network. It is a carrier grade platform that
interfaces with the mobile network elements such as BSCs,
RNC, MSC over standard interfaces (3GPP or 3GPP2). The
platform can scale from 1 TPS to 2000 TPS. With inbuilt GIS
server, TeleDNA CBC allows system Users to easily define a
geographical area on the fly and broadcast messages.
H. LBA - S
Mobile phones and the Internet have revolutionized the
communication and with it the lifestyle of people. The users
are dependent on mobile phone for most of their information
needs. With Location Based Applications/Services Mobile
phone will become a good resource for location based
information.
The operators are ready to launch Location based services but
to find out location information dependency on various
network elements like GMLC, SMLC etc which are very
expensive and accuracy is becoming a major roadblock.
Keeping these factors into consideration TeleDNA has
developed Location Based Services Access Platform with
advanced features.
Location Based Services Access Platform can help mobile
service providers to introduce a set of location based
applications like Buddy Finder, Social networking, Navigation
Services, POI finder, Yellow Pages, Geo Fencing etc. The
multiple positioning methods such as GMLC based, Cell ID
based, GPS based etc allows operators to introduce the
services with minimal dependency on other network elements.
The support for both Static GIS Maps and Dynamic online
GIS Maps adds to rich user experience by providing most
updated Geographic Map. The mobile subscribers can access
these location based services through
SMS/USSD/MMS/Web/WAP channels which also increases
mobile service providers existing SMS/USSD/MMS/WAP
Traffic.
TThe increase in Application originated short message traffic
has become a real challenge for Mobile Operators having
conventional SMSCs. The Conventional SMSCs were
deployed to handle non-burst, person-to-person and premium
application-to-person traffic. The delivery of premium content
message played a vital role in the operators business model
for generating additional revenues. Use of conventional
SMSCs to deliver promotional application-to-person messages
can hamper normal P2P traffic.
mZone platform provides various
Entertainment Services for mZone subscribers and a
unique Multilingual Messaging Service for the Admin
user of the platform.
4. IV. SCHEME DESCRIPTION
ad1
TeleDNA's USSD Gateway is a carrier-grade platform that
supports a wide range of services provided by applications
configured on the Gateway. Subscribers use USSD strings to
access these services or applications. The USSD Gateway
receives requests from the network that prompt the subscriber
for information, which the subscriber provides, enabling the
interaction to proceed and be completed.
TeleDNA's USSD Gateway delivers high-speed interactive
content to mobile subscribers, enabling sustained real-time
interactions, without consuming large amounts of bandwidth.
Using TeleDNA's USSD Gateway, operators can rapidly
create and offer new value added, dialogue-based services,
such as customer care, roaming and infotainment services,
enriching the service portfolio and differentiating the operator
in the market.
With an intermediary platform linking content providers to
end users, TeleDNA's USSD Gateway cuts the costs of
implementing enhanced interactive services and provides an
efficient way to deliver value-added services to end
customers. Introducing enhanced Value Added Services
seamlessly over multiple messaging platforms is a major
challenge faced by mobile operators. As wireless
technologies advance, the number and type of mobile
contents and applications that are being introduced in the
market are growing at an enormous pace. Converting these
mobile contents and applications to carrier grade service
offerings is a major task for the operator. To manage
diversified service categories and effective charging,
operators are looking for a platform that provides service
management capability through unified network access.
TeleDNA SDP platform has been developed keeping in
mind above challenges and bring in the convergence
between legacy, 2.5G 3G services. TeleDNA SDP
addresses these immediate challenges and paves the way
towards an IMS-compatible services platform where
multimedia services can be available across any kind of
access networks. With TeleDNA's extensive product
development knowledge in messaging domain areas,
TeleDNA SDP platform provides diversified data services
capabilities as a single integration point. The TeleDNA
SDP platform has been developed to bring in the
convergence between legacy, 2.5G 3G services
Mobile Application Stores are a new solution market which
promises the development of a new revenue stream for
operators, handset OEMs and application developers. Recent
research reveals that as the Mobile Application Store are
directly accessed by mobile users; users expect some sort of
control and personalization on App Store which is missing in
most of the existing App Stores. Also for an user finding the
right application or service is cumbersome job as there is no
personalized discovery or search option.
TeleDNA Mobile Application distribution platform is a state
of the art next generation applications store with advanced
features which helps mobile service providers to distribute
mobile applications with optimal search/discovery. The
platform supports various delivery and payment mechanisms
along with device independent license management.
The mZone Photo Mailing provides an option to all its
subscribers for sharing multimedia content with
other mZone and non mZone subscribers to get the
content. The recipient of the shared content need
not be a subscriber of the MMS service provided by
the operator, this saves MMS cost.
The mZone Subscribers with a single click can upload
send contents to other mZone subscribers. The
recipient get a SMS notification receiving the shared
content, the recipient is notified by a SMS that an
mZone subscriber has sent multimedia content. The
recipient subscriber can view the received message
or content on mobile or through mZone portal. The
subscriber can also download the content to his
mobile from the mZone portal.
With few clicks on your mobile camera you upload
multimedia content to the public gallery which can
be accessed by other subscribers of mZone portal.
Subscribers can upload any multimedia content to
“Public Gallery” so that all mZone subscribers can
view and download the content.

Majority of Value Added Services deployed by Network
Operators (such as Multimedia Messaging Service and Cell
Broadcast) are underutilized. The prime reason for non
popularity of such services is the difficulty faced by
subscribers in getting such service activated and using the
service itself. Ideally, these services can yield good returns of
investment for Network Operators. TeleDNA mZone is the
ideal platform for operators to achieve good returns of
investment, by enhancing the usage of value added services
provided by the Network.
