Improved quality of service and excellent signal coverage is the hallmark of any installed wireless mobile infrastructure. As technology evolve, the need to rely on seamless mobile services become crucial. For this reason, this paper investigates the performance of a wireless mobile network cluster of 27 base stations using call quality and drive test approach while proposing continual system optimization as the network system becomes more robust. The Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were compared before and after base station tuning and results showed that the optimization approach resulted in better performance.
The delivering of both good quality of service (QoS) and Grade of Service (GoS) in any competitive mobile
communication environment is a major factor to reducing subscribers’ churn rate. Therefore, it is
important for wireless mobile network operators to ensure stability and efficiency by delivering a
consistent, reliable and high-quality end user (subscriber) satisfaction. This can only be achieve by
conducting a regular network performance monitoring and optimisation as it directly impacts the quality of
the offered services and hence user satisfaction. In this paper, we present the results of network
performance evaluation and optimisation of a GSM network on cell cluster-basis, in Asaba region, South
East Nigeria. We employ a combination of essential key performance indicators such as dropped call rate,
call setup success rate and outage call rate to examine overall QoS and GoS performance of the GSM
network. Our results after network optimisation showed significant performance improvement in terms of
call drop rate, call set up success rate, and call block rate across. Specifically, the end user satisfaction
rate has increased from 94.45%, 87.74%, and 92.85% to 99.05%, 95.38% and 99.03% respectively across
the three GSM cell clusters. The GoS is reduced from 3.33%, 6.60% and 2.38% to 0.00%, 3.70% and
0.00% respectively. Furthermore, ESA, which correspond end points service availability, has improved
from 94.44%, 93.40% and 97.62% to 100%, 96.30% and 100% respectively. In addition, the average
throughput has improved from 73.74kbits/s, 85.06kbits/s and 87.54kbits/s to 77.07kbits/s, 92.38kbits/s and
102kbits/s respectively across the three GSM cell clusters.

Mobility Management Scheme for Mobile Communication Systems. A Reviewiosrjce
An intelligent mobility management scheme for mobile communication systems was studied. From
the result obtained, it was discovered that mobile to mobile call setup times showed a better performance as
compared to fixed network to mobile call setup and mobile to fixed call setup times. Moreover, increasing the
number of location areas within the switch does not affect inter-MSC handover and location updates since the
size of the switch coverage area remains the same. And when the location areas within the switch is increased,
intra-MSC location updates and handover also increases. Finally, user mobility directly affects the signaling
traffic for handover, location management, radio resource allocation and routing.

Proportional fair buffer scheduling algorithm for 5G enhanced mobile broadband IJECEIAES
The impending next generation of mobile communications denoted 5G intends to interconnect user equipment, things, vehicles, and cities. It will provide an order of magnitude improvement in performance and network efficiency, and different combinations of use cases enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB), ultra reliable low latency communications (URLLC), massive internet of things (mIoT) with new capabilities and diverse requirements. Adoption of advanced radio resource management procedures such as packet scheduling algorithms is necessary to distribute radio resources among different users efficiently. The proportional fair (PF) scheduling algorithm and its modified versions have proved to be the commonly used scheduling algorithms for their ability to provide a tradeoff between throughput and fairness. In this article, the buffer status is combined with the PF metric to suggest a new scheduling algorithm for efficient support for eMBB. The effectiveness of the proposed scheduling strategy is proved through à comprehensive experimental analysis based on the evaluation of different quality of service key performance indicators (QoS KPIs) such as throughput, fairness, and buffer status.
Implementing a Session Aware Policy Based Mechanism for QoS Control in LTEIJERA Editor
Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning has become significant with the widely growth of multimedia applications and high increase in the number of users in both wireless and wired networks. In this paper, we implemented a session-aware policy based mechanism for QoS provisioning and control in LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks. Policies are a set of rules identifying the QoS parameters for users. Implementation included DiffServ (Differentiated Services) configuration and setting policies inside the PCRF (Policy Charging Rules Function) which is the brain entity in LTE, then mapping from QCI (QoS Class ID) to DiffServ. Moreover, the dialogue between PCEF (Policy Charging Enforcement Function) and PCRF was implemented. Simulations on four different traffic application types: VoIP (voice over IP), video, web, and ftp (file transfer protocol) were performed under the network simulator (ns2). Results showed that applying PCEF over the different traffic applications has a great effect in controlling these applications and specifically UDP (User Datagram Protocol) based applications such as video.
Litrature Survey of Traffic Analysis and Congestion Modeling In Mobile Network iosrjce
Network congestion is one of the major problems of GSM service providers as the number of
subscribers increase and new services are introduced. All the proposed techniques in literatures for controlling
congestion are centered on two principles which are either to reject excessive traffic to prevent over-utilization
of network resources or diverting excess load if overload occurs. These techniques do not specify how network
resource can be provided to absorb rejected or diverted traffic so that revenue will not be lost during congestion
and hence, they do not really address congestion during busy hour. Real-time traffic analysis is required to
understand user traffic demand pattern on network resources for proper prediction of network congestion so
that resources can be provided to take care of rejected or diverted traffic. However, available literature survey
on mobile network congestion modeling showed that none of the existing literature: address congestion at the
three basic elements of GSM network to characterize end-to-end connection; use busy hour traffic data to
adequately dimension GSM network elements so that the network can cope with load B. Therefore, effective
congestion control mechanism that can take these research gaps into consideration for proper forecasting and
efficient dimension of the network resources to address busy hour congestion must be developed. This paper is a
preliminary report on development of such accurate congestion prediction model through an ongoing research
work using real live network data from one of the Service provider’s networks in Abuja, Nigeria as a case study

Powerful business model for fixed wireless data using outdoor antennas - PaperAndre Fourie
Paper presented at the 2nd Africa Radio Comms Conference in Johannesburg - Nov 2015
By Andre Fourie
The revenue that can be generated by an LTE base station is influenced by the quality of the signal received by the customer premise equipment (CPE). Most CPE come with omni-directional indoor antennas, but have provision for the connection to external antennas.
Substituting the indoor antennas for directional outdoor antennas has a marked effect on the data transfer speeds of the network. There are two reasons for this. Firstly, outdoor antennas are physically larger than their indoor counterparts and thus have a higher gain. The increase in antenna gain translates directly to an increase in received signal strength. The second advantage is that the outdoor antenna sits in an environment that has much better propagating properties than the indoor antenna. Tests have shown that data speeds 3-5 times faster are possible using external antennas compared to indoor antennas.
It is shown, using a primitive financial model that fairly large financial gains can be made by equipping CPE devices with external antennas.
INVESTIGATION OF BEAM FORMING EFFECTIVENESS IN IEEE802.11AC INDOOR WIRELESS L...cscpconf
The strong demand for large capacity transmission due to an unprecedented growth in data traffic requires an enhancement in the quality of service in the medium access control. This
quality delivery features strongly in the IEEE802.11ac standard. Here, we have performed empirical measurements of an 802.11ac system based on the beam forming technology. In this
work, an empirical analysis was conducted to determine the effectiveness of Beamforming Technology as depicts in the quality of service (QoS) enhancement in the newest wireless
technology deployed on IEEE802.11ac standard. The experimental outcomes revealed the quality of service (QoS) enhancement in IEEE802.11ac. Although the realized throughput in real application scenario fell below designed specification. Nevertheless there is a considerable
data throughput improvement on the counterpart 802.11n. There remain opportunities for further enhancements in beam-forming technology.

NUMERICAL SIMULATIONS OF HEAT AND MASS TRANSFER IN CONDENSING HEAT EXCHANGERS...ssuser7dcef0
Power plants release a large amount of water vapor into the
atmosphere through the stack. The flue gas can be a potential
source for obtaining much needed cooling water for a power
plant. If a power plant could recover and reuse a portion of this
moisture, it could reduce its total cooling water intake
requirement. One of the most practical way to recover water
from flue gas is to use a condensing heat exchanger. The power
plant could also recover latent heat due to condensation as well
as sensible heat due to lowering the flue gas exit temperature.
Additionally, harmful acids released from the stack can be
reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation. reduced in a condensing heat exchanger by acid condensation.
Condensation of vapors in flue gas is a complicated
phenomenon since heat and mass transfer of water vapor and
various acids simultaneously occur in the presence of noncondensable
gases such as nitrogen and oxygen. Design of a
condenser depends on the knowledge and understanding of the
heat and mass transfer processes. A computer program for
numerical simulations of water (H2O) and sulfuric acid (H2SO4)
condensation in a flue gas condensing heat exchanger was
developed using MATLAB. Governing equations based on
mass and energy balances for the system were derived to
predict variables such as flue gas exit temperature, cooling
water outlet temperature, mole fraction and condensation rates
of water and sulfuric acid vapors. The equations were solved
using an iterative solution technique with calculations of heat
and mass transfer coefficients and physical properties.

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.
