Design of an Interconnection Architecture and Sizing of Two (2) EPC Core Networks: The Case of Orange-Guinea

With the arrival of the 4G and 5G,the telecommunications networks have experienced a large expansion of these networks.That enabled the integration of many services and adequate flow,thus enabling the operators to respond to the growing demand of users.This rapid evolution has given the operators to adapt,their methods to the new technologies that increase.This complexity becomes more important,when these networks include several technologies to access different from the heterogeneous network like in the 4G network.The dimensional new challenges tell the application and the considerable increase in demand for services and the compatibility with existing networks,the management of mobility intercellular of users and it offers a better quality of services.Thus,the proposed solution to meet these new requirements is the sizing of the EPC(Evolved Packet Core)core network to support the 5G access network.For the case of Orange Guinea,this involves setting up an architecture for interconnecting the core networks of Sonfonia and Camayenne.The objectives of our work are of two orders:(1)to propose these solutions and recommendations for the heart network EPC sizing and the deployment to be adopted;(2)supply and architectural interconnection in the heart network EPC and an existing heart network.In our work,the model of traffic in communication that we use to calculate the traffic generated with each technology has link in the network of the heart.

AN EFFICIENT APPROACH FOR DVB-H HANDOVER IN DVB-H/UMTS HYBRID NETWORKS

Handover in Digital Video Broadcasting for Handhelds(DVB-H) aims to provide continuous mobile broadcasting services when a user is traveling through cell boundaries.A good handover control can improve the power efficiency and gain much better reception quality.This letter provides a novel approach for DVB-H handover based on DVB-H/Universal Mobile Telecommunications System(UMTS) hybrid network,which moves the main handover function from the terminals to the networks,so that it reduces the operation complexity of the terminals and increases the power saving.When the terminal can not receive the DVB-H signal in the transmission shadow areas or because of some other reasons,the UMTS networks may offer the same service to users to make the service continuous.As the UMTS networks have the topology of the DVB-H networks,by communicating with the terminals,the UMTS networks can help the terminals to predict the handover,and avoid unnecessary handover.

A three-level authenticated conference key establishment protocol for UMTS networks

A conference key establishment protocol allows a group of conferees to agree on a secret key shared among them for secure group communication.This paper proposes a three-level conference key establishment protocol based on the Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS) framework to establish a group-level key,home location register (HLR) level keys,and visitor location register (VLR) level keys simultaneously for a group of conferees.The group-level key is used to secure the communications for all conferees,the HLR-level key is for those within the same HLR domain,and the VLR-level key is for those within the same VLR domain.The group-level key can be used for securing inter-domain group-oriented applications such as commercial remote conferencing systems.The HLRand VLR-level keys can be used for securing intra-domain subgroup applications (e.g.,location-based or context-aware services) and dynamic key updating.Since our proposed protocol exploits existing UMTS security functions and the exclusive-or operation,it is compatible with UMTS architecture.This means that it is fast and easy to implement on the existing UMTS architecture.Furthermore,the proposed protocol has low computational complexities and can provide cost effectiveness,load-amortization,scalability,user authentication,key establishment,key confirmation,key updating,and lawful interception.
