The margin maximization problem in digital subscriber line（DSL） systems is investigated.The particle swarm optimization（PSO） theory is applied to the nonconvex margin optimization problem with the target power and rate constraints.PSO is a new evolution algorithm based on the social behavior of swarms, which can solve discontinuous, nonconvex and nonlinear problems efficiently.The proposed algorithm can converge to the global optimal solution, and numerical example demonstrates that the proposed algorithm can guarantee the fast convergence within a few iterations.

Radio map updated method based on subscriber locations in indoor WLAN localization

With the rapid development of wireless local area network （WLAN） technology, an important target of indoor positioning systems is to improve the positioning accuracy while reducing the online calibration effort to overcome signal time-varying. A novel fingerprint positioning algorithm, known as the adaptive radio map with updated method based on hidden Markov model （HMM）, is proposed. It is shown that by using a collection of user traces that can be cheaply obtained, the proposed algorithm can take advantage of these data to update the labeled calibration data to further improve the position estimation accuracy. This algorithm is a combination of machine learning, information gain theory and fingerprinting. By collecting data and testing the algorithm in a realistic indoor WLAN environment, the experiment results indicate that, compared with the widely used K nearest neighbor algorithm, the proposed algorithm can improve the positioning accuracy while greatly reduce the calibration effort.

User Churn Prediction Hierarchical Model Based on Graph Attention Convolutional Neural Networks

The telecommunications industry is becoming increasingly aware of potential subscriber churn as a result of the growing popularity of smartphones in the mobile Internet era,the quick development of telecommunications services,the implementation of the number portability policy,and the intensifying competition among operators.At the same time,users'consumption preferences and choices are evolving.Excellent churn prediction models must be created in order to accurately predict the churn tendency,since keeping existing customers is far less expensive than acquiring new ones.But conventional or learning-based algorithms can only go so far into a single subscriber's data;they cannot take into consideration changes in a subscriber's subscription and ignore the coupling and correlation between various features.Additionally,the current churn prediction models have a high computational burden,a fuzzy weight distribution,and significant resource economic costs.The prediction algorithms involving network models currently in use primarily take into account the private information shared between users with text and pictures,ignoring the reference value supplied by other users with the same package.This work suggests a user churn prediction model based on Graph Attention Convolutional Neural Network(GAT-CNN)to address the aforementioned issues.The main contributions of this paper are as follows:Firstly,we present a three-tiered hierarchical cloud-edge cooperative framework that increases the volume of user feature input by means of two aggregations at the device,edge,and cloud layers.Second,we extend the use of users'own data by introducing self-attention and graph convolution models to track the relative changes of both users and packages simultaneously.Lastly,we build an integrated offline-online system for churn prediction based on the strengths of the two models,and we experimentally validate the efficacy of cloudside collaborative training and inference.In summary,the churn prediction model based on Graph Attention Convolutional Neural Network presented in this paper can effectively address the drawbacks of conventional algorithms and offer telecom operators crucial decision support in developing subscriber retention strategies and cutting operational expenses.

A Bridge Between Editors and Subscribers

When you get this issue, I believe the first question you will ask would be, "Why does it come out late?" Now let me tell you why. As you may have known, TEIC has been handed over to FLTRP and during the transaction there have been some chaos, which is a quite common phenomenon during any transaction, isn’t it? All the contributions have been mixed up and I have to sort them out. I can’t publish an article which has appeared in the previous issues, can I?

Locating Global System for Mobile Communication(GSM)Base Stations Using Geographic Information System(GIS)

The global system for mobile communication(GSM)is planned to meet the needs of the whole subscribers.The number of subscribers increased as the population increased due to the acceptance of GSM services by the subscribers.Thus,there should be a way to monitor base stations that will meet the increasing demand of subscribers in any area as a population surge will lead to more subscriptions.This will allow GSM network operators to serve their subscribers better and ease network congestion.This work presents a review of mobile evolution from the first generation to the fifth generation.A review of global positioning system(GPS)technology and its applications to geographic information systems(GIS)was done.The coordinates of these base stations were taken using a GPS device.These base station coordinates were then exported to QGIS for the design of the map.Thereafter,the output map was then integrated into the website.The discussions on the results followed and some useful suggestions given will go a long way to help the operators of GSM in Nigeria and in general.If the propositions given are adhered to,it will go a long way to help the operators reduce congestion on their network and thereby increase the satisfaction of the subscribers.

Investigation of Upstream Near-Far Problem in VDSL Systems via Complete Adaptive Iterative Water Filling Algorithm

Crosstalk is the main degrading factor in Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) systems which are the result of electromagnetic coupling between two adjacent twisted pairs in a cable. Very-high bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) systems which use higher frequencies for data transmission than the other DSL systems, this effect is more considerable in Bit Error Rate (BER) degradation. This paper considers a complete adaptive iterative water-filling (IWF) algorithm for Resolving Upstream Near-Far Problem in VDSL Systems. The new distributed dynamic spectrum management algorithm is proposed, which improve achievable bit rate of iterative water-filling algorithm. The paper proffers a new power back-off strategy of the spectral mask at the near-end users, in order to protect the far-end users. Simulation of the proposed algorithm indicates that the bit rate is increased considerably rather the IWF and adaptive water-filling (AIWF) algorithms by keeping their low complexity. Furthermore, by adding the number of users in network, the new algorithm achieves performance gains over the AIWF, completely adaptive.

Evaluation of Broadband Network Performance in Nigeria

Broadband provides high speed data transmission to Internet and 4G networks were developed to transform broadband technology with higher data rate and enhanced quality of service. The performance of broadband network in Nigeria in terms of type, purpose and speed was evaluated in this work. Some quarters at Ilesa and Oba-Ile in Akure were chosen as rural areas, while Abuja and Lagos represented the urban areas of the study. Questionnaires were administered among users in these areas randomly. Thereafter, data were analyzed and research questions answered from the analyzed results. The results showed that the majority of the respondents operated on wireless broadband technologies. The download speed is generally above 100 mbps in urban areas and below in rural areas, with MTN having the highest number of subscribers. In addition, most of the Internet surfers download files. With these characteristics, it was discovered that the network operators were deploying 3G systems as broadband instead of 4G systems.

The Effect of Windings on ADSL Transformer Insertion Losses

Insertion loss （IL） is one of the important parameters of asymmetrical digital subscriber loop （ADSL） transformers. In different frequency bands, the factors that affect insertion loss are different. Windings mainly affect insertion loss in mid and high frequency bands. The effects of winding ways, winding wire diameter and winding turns on insertion loss were discussed. The presented experiment shows that the insertion loss of an ADSL transformer could be under 0.4 dB in mid frequency band when the winding is 30 turns, in which the ADSL transformer satisfies the requirement of total harmonic distortion （THD）. Our experiments also show that the sandwich winding structure is better than the side by side winding structure and the twisted-pair winding structure, and the increase of winding diameter is one means to reduce insertion losses of an ADSL transformer in mid frequency band.

Tracing Precept against Self-Protective Tortious Decoder

Traceability precept is a broadcast encryption technique that content suppliers can trace malicious authorized users who leak the decryption key to an unauthorized user. To protect the data from eavesdropping, the content supplier encrypts the data and broadcast the cryptograph that only its subscribers can decrypt. However, a traitor may clone his decoder and sell the pirate decoders for profits. The traitor can modify the private key and the decryption program inside the pirate decoder to avoid divulging his identity. Furthermore, some traitors may fabricate a new legal private key together that cannot be traced to the creators. So in this paper, a renewed precept is proposed to achieve both revocation at a different level of capacity in each distribution and black-box tracing against self-protective pirate decoders. The rigorous mathematical deduction shows that our algorithm possess security property.

An SDN-Based Publish/Subscribe-Enabled Communication Platform for IoT Services

Publish/subscribe paradigm paves a way to integrate and serve many scalable, inter-operable Internet of Things(IoT) applications. The increasing IoT applications require new properties of publish/subscribe communication model, for example, strict quality of service(Qo S) guarantees, supporting a large number of widely distributed devices, etc. Software Defined Networking(SDN) enables personalized programming and individualized QoS supports for different applications. The combination of the two will have a good prospect. In this paper, we present an IoT-oriented communication platform which combines the publish/subscribe paradigm with SDN, aiming at establishing an IoT ecosystem to facilitate IoT services/applications accessing internet. We design the interaction logic of topic-based publish/subscribe middleware, and describe the setup and maintenance of topology information as well as event routing in detail, considering the characteristics of SDN. Finally, we exemplify its practicability with a deployed District Heating Control and Information Service System(DHCISS) and validity the effectiveness with some experiments.

Cross-Layer QoS Enabled SDN-Like Publish/Subscribe Communication Infrastructure for IoT

Publish/subscribe paradigm is often adopted to create the communication infrastructure of the Internet of Things(IoT)for many clients to access enormous real-time sensor data.However,most current publish/subscribe middlewares are based on traditional ossified IP networks,which are difficult to enable Quality of Service(QoS).How to design the next generation publish/subscribe middleware has become an urgent problem.The emerging Software Defined Networking(SDN)provides new opportunities to improve the QoS of publish/subscribe facilities for delivering events in IoT owing to its customized programmability and centralized control.We can encode event topics,priorities and security policies into flow entries of SDN-enabled switches to satisfy personalized QoS needs.In this paper,we propose a cross-layer QoS enabled SDN-like publish/subscribe communication infrastructure,aiming at building an IoT platform to seamlessly connect IoT services with SDN networks and improving the QoS of delivering events.We first present an SDN-like topic-oriented publish/subscribe middleware architecture with a cross-layer QoS control framework.Then we discuss prototype implementation,including topic management,topology maintenance,event routing and policy management.In the end,we use differentiated services and cross-layer access control as cross-layer QoS scenarios to verify the prototype.Experimental results show that our middleware is effective.
