Synthesis and application of orthogonal signal bases possessing enhanced timefrequency localization for mobile wireless networks

Distributed GNSS-Based Time Synchronization and Applications

The paper deals with synchronization standards, applications and challenges in the modern packet switched telecommunication networks. In recent years, the number of time-dependent services and systems only increases with the development of such areas as Internet of Things (IoT), industrial Internet, remote automation and robotics, precise positioning etc. In the paper, these emerging applications are discussed. An alternative way to the traditional centralized synchronization infrastructure is proposed. Compact and low-priced devices equipped with a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver and a reliable internal clock can be installed specifically in the places where they are nee…

Data mining framework for random access failure detection in LTE networks

Sleeping cell problem is a particular type of cell degradation. There are various software and hardware reasons that might cause such kind of cell outage. In this study a cell becomes sleeping because of Random Access Channel (RACH) failure. This kind of network problem can appear due to misconfiguration, excessive load or software/firmware problem at the Base Station (BS). In practice such failure might cause network performance degradation, which is hardly traceable by an operator. In this paper we present a data mining based framework for the detection of problematic cells. In its core is the analysis of event sequences reported by a User Equipment (UE) to a serving BS. The choice of N i…
