The study focuses on building a financial model for a telecommunications carrier to guide it towards profitable network investments. The model shows optimal access-network topography by comparing two broadband delivery techniques over fibre technology. The study is a scenario ex…
Distribution of multimedia content through the Internet has become a trend in the present technology-aged community. Network supported multimedia applications involve many different transmission capabilities which are used to deliver content through streaming to a wide range of …
Between 2008 and 2010, the number of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in the military increased by 330% in support of operations throughout the Middle East (Iraq, Afghanistan, Iran, etc.). The Pentagon has developed numerous initiatives to enhance the overall performance of UASs,…
I/O has traditionally been a limiting factor in the performance of modern high-performance computer systems consisting of CPUs, memories, secondary storage devices, user interfaces, and the network. This I/O bottleneck becomes even more pronounced for currently evolving systems …
The Quality of Service (QoS) routing approach is gaining an increasing interest in the Internet community due to the new emerging Internet applications such as real-time multimedia applications. These applications require better levels of quality of services than those supported…
Localised QoS routing is a relatively new, alternative and viable approach to solve the problems of traditional QoS routing algorithms which use global state information resulting in the imposition of a large communication overhead and route flapping. They make use of a localise…
This study compares eleven Niger-Congo languages with [ATR] harmony and seeks to determine especially whether the acoustic properties of the “voice quality” differences associated with [ATR] in nine-vowel languages, such as Akan, are present or absent in all, some or none of the…
