Key Performance Indicators for QOS Assessment in Tetra Networksijmnct
Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) are widely used by GSM and UMTS carriers with the aim of evaluating the network performance and the Quality of Service (QoS) delivered to users. TETRA networks are basically designed to provide telecommunication services to Public Safety & Security (PSS) organizations, thus the compliance of the QoS levels required by these clients is usually critical. Despite that, the use of KPIs to assess the network performance and the QoS achieved in TETRA systems is not very common. This paper not only states the need of monitoring and evaluating these parameters, but also introduces a set of KPIs which is considered necessary and sufficient in order to allow TETRA operators to be aware of whether provided services meet the QoS requirements established by end users

Wireless HART stack using multiprocessor technique with laxity algorithmjournalBEEI
The use of a real-time operating system is required for the demarcation of industrial wireless sensor network (IWSN) stacks (RTOS). In the industrial world, a vast number of sensors are utilised to gather various types of data. The data gathered by the sensors cannot be prioritised ahead of time. Because all of the information is equally essential. As a result, a protocol stack is employed to guarantee that data is acquired and processed fairly. In IWSN, the protocol stack is implemented using RTOS. The data collected from IWSN sensor nodes is processed using non-preemptive scheduling and the protocol stack, and then sent in parallel to the IWSN's central controller. The real-time operating system (RTOS) is a process that occurs between hardware and software. Packets must be sent at a certain time. It's possible that some packets may collide during transmission. We're going to undertake this project to get around this collision. As a prototype, this project is divided into two parts. The first uses RTOS and the LPC2148 as a master node, while the second serves as a standard data collection node to which sensors are attached. Any controller may be used in the second part, depending on the situation. Wireless HART allows two nodes to communicate with each other.
A New Scheme of Group-based AKA for Machine Type Communication over LTE Netwo...IJECEIAES
Machine Type Communication (MTC) is considered as one of the most important approaches to the future of mobile communication has attracted more and more attention. To reach the safety of MTC, applications in networks must meet the low power consumption requirements of devices and mass transmission device. When a large number of MTC devices get connected to the network, each MTC device must implement an independent access authentication process according to the 3GPP standard, which will cause serious traffic congestion in the Long Term Evolution (LTE) network. In this article, we propose a new group access authentication scheme, by which a huge number of MTC devices can be simultaneously authenticated by the network and establish an independent session key with the network respectively. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme can achieve robust security and avoid signaling overload on LTE networks.

This document discusses the challenges faced when using TCP in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Some key challenges include: media access control issues like hidden terminals; power constraints of mobile nodes; frequent topology changes due to node mobility; multipath fading increasing the likelihood of path breaks; and misinterpreting packet losses as congestion rather than broken routes. TCP was designed for wired networks and assumes packet losses are always due to congestion, which does not hold in MANETs where losses can be from broken routes. Overall, TCP performs poorly in MANETs due to these challenges.

V. INTEGRATION
Despite of TETRA being a universal service platform
and providing excellent tools for creating applications
over the air interface the benefits fall short unless the
whole chain of services is considered. Therefore the
integration to the enterprise systems is vital for gaining the
efficiency and productivity increase benefits.
TETRA standard does not define standard interface for
application or control room integration. Thus integration is
always vendor dependent.
Successful integrations nevertheless show some key
characteristics. All functions can be performed through
one Application Programming Interface (API). The API
provides access to entire network eliminating for instance
the need to multiple application connections to every
switching element. The API is well documented and
preferably provides possibility to use commonly known
interface programming methodologies such as XML.
Considering the success and fail of application projects
the seriousness of integration is visible.
VI. TETRA DATA FUTURE
The future of TETRA data is secured by the
development of the TETRA Enhanced Data Service
(TEDS). TEDS is part of the TETRA Release 2
standardization. It is a technology rather similar to WiMax
using adaptive modulation and turbo coding. It has been
defined for 25, 50, 100 and 150 kHz carrier bandwidths
providing data speeds well comparable with GSM/GPRS.
Most of TEDS variants will provide at least 10 fold
multiplies of the data capacity compared to the TETRA
Release 1 single slot packet data. This is most of all
significant when mission critical data demand increases,
but there is shortage of available frequency spectrum.
TEDS is backwards compatible with TETRA Release 1
including the cell sizes. For at least one vendor TEDS can
be introduced as a mere software upgrade to the existing
base stations. The commercial availability of TEDS has
been forecasted to be in 2009 by EADS, who was the 1st
to demonstrate TEDS live in TETRA World Congress
2007 in Madrid.
