Performance Evolution of LTE Cellular TechnologyIRJET Journal
Long Term Evolution (LTE) is the 4G cellular standard that provides significantly faster data speeds and improved spectral efficiency over previous standards. The paper discusses LTE architecture, which includes the base stations (eNodeB) and interfaces to user equipment. LTE allows seamless handoff between 2G, 3G, and 4G networks. Key benefits of LTE include speeds up to 50 times faster than previous standards and support for new applications for public safety responders like video streaming. Error vector magnitude (EVM) is analyzed as a measure of signal quality, with lower EVM indicating better performance. EVM is affected by noise, distortion, and other interference.
The expanding role of LTE Advanced, delivering new, transformative technologies that go well beyond faster peak data rates. These new technologies include introducing LTE-M for efficient machine-type communications, expanding LTE Direct device-to-device capabilities and use cases, empowering new services-such as LTE Ultra-Low Latency, and also driving convergence of traditionally disparate networks, spectrum types, and deployment models-such as LTE and Wi-Fi Convergence.

This document summarizes a research paper that analyzes the performance of an LTE 4G network running multimedia applications like VoIP and video conferencing. It discusses using the OPNET network simulator to study how these applications perform over LTE under static and mobile node conditions. The paper finds that multimedia applications experience less packet delay variation when nodes are mobile compared to static nodes, due to HARQ retransmission being given up under mobility. It also analyzes how varying network loads affect quality of service for multimedia applications sharing bandwidth with background data traffic.
1) A Tier 1 mobile network operator conducted a field trial of a passive centralized-RAN (C-RAN) architecture to evaluate performance, costs, and challenges.
2) Initial fiber inspection using EXFO's probe found most connectors were dirty, increasing optical loss. After cleaning, optical time domain reflectometry characterized the fiber span and found a missing connection.
3) Using real-time OTDR and a visual fault locator, technicians identified and corrected the missing connection and mislabeled fiber within the span. Characterization then verified the full fiber path with reduced optical losses.

IRJET- Dynamic Adaption of DCF and PCF Mode of IEEE 802.11 WLANIRJET Journal
This document discusses dynamic adaptation of the Distributed Coordinating Function (DCF) and Point Coordinating Function (PCF) modes of the IEEE 802.11 WLAN standard. It proposes three protocols to dynamically switch between the DCF and PCF modes based on changing traffic load and network size. One protocol is a Dynamic Switching Protocol that observes network traffic to determine when to switch modes. A second protocol, Priority Round Robin Scheduling, aims to reduce polling overhead in PCF by replacing simple round robin scheduling with priority-based scheduling. The document also discusses dynamically adapting configuration parameters in PCF and DCF based on varying network conditions.
Main Differences between LTE & LTE-AdvancedSabir Hussain
LTE stands for Long Term Evolution.
In Nov. 2004, 3GPP began a project to define the long-term evolution (LTE) of Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) cellular technology.
LTE systems have:
Higher performance
Backwards compatible
Wide application
Data Rate:
Instantaneous downlink peak data rate of 100Mbit/s in a 20MHz downlink spectrum (i.e. 5 bit/s/Hz)
Instantaneous uplink peak data rate of 50Mbit/s in a 20MHz uplink spectrum (i.e. 2.5 bit/s/Hz)
Cell range:
5 km - optimal size
30km sizes with reasonable performance
up to 100 km cell sizes supported with acceptable performance
Cell capacity:
up to 200 active users per cell(5 MHz) (i.e., 200 active data clients)
Mobility
Optimized for low mobility(0-15km/h) but supports high speed
Latency (delay)
user plane < 5ms
control plane < 50 ms
Improved broadcasting
IP-optimized
Scalable bandwidth of 20MHz, 15MHz, 10MHz, 5MHz and <5MHz
Co-existence with legacy standards (users can transparently start a call or transfer of data in an area using an LTE standard, and, when there is no coverage, continue the operation without any action on their part using GSM/GPRS or W-CDMA-based UMTS)
LTE Advanced is a mobile communication 4G standard approved by International Telecommunications Union (ITU) in Jan 2012.
LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) is an emerging and, as the name suggests, a more advanced set of standards and technologies that will be able to deliver bigger and speedier wireless-data payloads.
The most important thing to know is that LTE-A promises to deliver true 4G speeds, unlike current LTE networks. You can expect the real-world speed of LTE-A to be two to three times faster than today’s LTE.
To be considered true 4G (also known as “IMT-Advanced”), a mobile network must fulfill a number of benchmarks, including offering a peak data rate of at least 100 megabits per second (Mb/s) when a user moves through the network at high speeds, such as in a car or train, and 1 gigabit per second (Gb/s) when the user is in a fixed position.
The highest possible rates are never achieved in real world conditions. Actual rates will be variable, but we can expect LTE-A to be at least five times as fast as most LTE networks today, and that’s great news for video streaming.
LTE Advanced is supposed to provide higher capacity, an enhanced user experience, and greater fairness in terms of resource allocation.
It does this by combining a bunch of technologies, many of which have been around for some years, so we’re not really talking about the implementation of an entirely new system here.
Keynote Address: Critical communications standards supporting a multi-vendor ...3G4G
Presented by Adrian Scrase, CTO, ETSI & Head of MCC, 3GPP at CCE 2019
Abstract:
The Critical Communications community has engaged in standardisation activities to ensure that their evolution path is supported by a multi-vendor and interoperable environment. This engagement is a long term commitment and involves participation in a number of different standardisation bodies. The primary focus for this work however lies within both ETSI and the Partnership Project 3GPP and so it is appropriate for this keynote address to focus on the progress made within those bodies in delivering critical communications standards. This address will also look into the future and assess the extent to which 5G will play a role in serving Critical Communication needs.

LTE Advanced is a mobile communication 4G standard approved by International Telecommunications Union (ITU) in Jan 2012.
LTE-Advanced (LTE-A) is an emerging and, as the name suggests, a more advanced set of standards and technologies that will be able to deliver bigger and speedier wireless-data payloads.
The most important thing to know is that LTE-A promises to deliver true 4G speeds, unlike current LTE networks. You can expect the real-world speed of LTE-A to be two to three times faster than today’s LTE.
To be considered true 4G (also known as “IMT-Advanced”), a mobile network must fulfill a number of benchmarks, including offering a peak data rate of at least 100 megabits per second (Mb/s) when a user moves through the network at high speeds, such as in a car or train, and 1 gigabit per second (Gb/s) when the user is in a fixed position.
The highest possible rates are never achieved in real world conditions. Actual rates will be variable, but we can expect LTE-A to be at least five times as fast as most LTE networks today, and that’s great news for video streaming.
LTE Advanced is supposed to provide higher capacity, an enhanced user experience, and greater fairness in terms of resource allocation.
It does this by combining a bunch of technologies, many of which have been around for some years, so we’re not really talking about the implementation of an entirely new system here.
Keynote Address: Critical communications standards supporting a multi-vendor ...3G4G
Presented by Adrian Scrase, CTO, ETSI & Head of MCC, 3GPP at CCE 2019
Abstract:
The Critical Communications community has engaged in standardisation activities to ensure that their evolution path is supported by a multi-vendor and interoperable environment. This engagement is a long term commitment and involves participation in a number of different standardisation bodies. The primary focus for this work however lies within both ETSI and the Partnership Project 3GPP and so it is appropriate for this keynote address to focus on the progress made within those bodies in delivering critical communications standards. This address will also look into the future and assess the extent to which 5G will play a role in serving Critical Communication needs.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
