Telecommunications Network Design And Management represents the
state-of-the-art of applying operations research techniques and
solutions across a broad spectrum of telecommunications problems and
implementation issues.
-The first three chapters of the book deal with the design of wireless
networks, including UMTS and Ad-Hoc networks.
-Chapters 4-6 deal with the optimal design of telecommunications
networks. Techniques used for network design range from genetic
algorithms to combinatorial optimization heuristics.
-Chapters 7-10 analyze traffic flow in telecommunications networks,
focusing on optimizing traffic load distribution and the scheduling of
switches under multi-media streams and heavy traffic.
-Chapters 11-14 deal with telecommunications network management,
examining bandwidth provisioning, admission control, queue management,
dynamic routing, and feedback regulation in order to ensure that the
network performance is optimized.
-Chapters 15-16 deal with the construction of topologies and allocation
of bandwidth to ensure quality-of-service.
