Strategies for Sustainable Development of Broadband Services

This article explains that Internet services, characterized by Instant Messaging (IM), are now, more than ever, strongly influencing and changing the traditional telecom services as well as industry-operating model. To adapt to the change, telecom operators should adjust their thoughts while developing new broadband services. The paper will discuss the strategies for operators to make sustainable development in broadband services. It recommends operators to should become telecom-grade public service platform providers, to pay more attention to the development of next generation Service Delivery Platform (SDP), and to strengthen R&D efforts on non-PC broadband terminal because it is an important driving force for continuous development of broadband services.

Packet Scheduling Algorithm for Real-Time Services in Broadband WMAN

Packet scheduling algorithm is the key technology to guarantee Quality of Service (QoS) and balance the fairness between users in broadband Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN). Based on the research of Proportional Fairness (PF) algorithm and Modified Largest Weighted Delay First (M-LWDF) algorithm, a new packet scheduling algorithm for real-time services in broadband WMAN, called Enhanced M-LWDF (EM-LWDF), was proposed. The algorithm phases in new information to measure the load of service queues and updates the state parameters in real-time way, which remarkably improves system performance.Simulation results show that comparing with M-LWDF algorithm, the proposed algorithm is advantageous in performances of queuing delay and fairness while guaranteeing system throughput.

Broadband Mobile Data Service Era is Coming

For China’s telecom industry,2009 is destined to be an extraordinary year due to the approach of long-thirsted-for mobile 3G era,which will have significant impact on current work and lifestyles.2009 will also be a year full of opportunities and challenges because the coming 3G era will bring limitless business opportunities and impose more challenges on Chinese telecom operators.The reshuffling of Chinese telecom markets has been brought to an end.The new China Unicom,China Mobile and China Telecom all focus their strategies on broadband mobile data services in order to achieve the objective of a smooth transforming from voice services to data services.Technologically,various 3G technologies and their evolutions become great concerns of telecom operators;while in terms of services,the key for 3G systems is their data services.As a result,high speed broadband data services see an era of rapid development.

Designing a practical ATM Campus Network

A typical distributed ATM campus network——BUPT(Beijing University of Posts andTelecommunications)ATM Campus Network is presented in this paper.This network iscomposed of several small ATM switches in a distributed manner and will be connected tothe China Education and Research Network(CERNET).First,an architecture of BUPTATM Campus Network is introduced.Then the interworking and protocol conversion be-tween ATM network and existing 802.X LAN are discussed.Finally,some of the typicalbroadband applications such as multimedia communications,virtual workgroups,remotevideo-teaching and LAN emulation are described.
