Abstract The specifications of digital video broadcasting—return channel via satellite (DVB-RCS2) state that the satellite gateway could introduce both random and dedicated access methods to distribute the capacity among the different home users. Before starting an engineering process to design an algorithm allowing to combine both methods, it seems necessary to assess the performance of each.» Read the summary

Abstract Proximity service (ProSe) enables the development of various applications that exploit proximity of the mobile devices. In ProSe, devices are expected to communicate with each other on device-to-device (D2D) links and make use of proximity information for the provision of a variety of services. An essential functionality in ProSe is the ability of a device to identify its neighbors. This process is referred to as D2D discovery. This paper investigates distributed D2D discovery based on greedy resource selection.» Read the summary

Abstract This paper is concerned with long-term (20+ years) forecasting of broadband traffic in next-generation networks. Such long-term approach requires going beyond extrapolations of past traffic data while facing high uncertainty in predicting the future developments and facing the fact that, in 20 years, the current network technologies and architectures will be obsolete.» Read the summary
