Delay modelling and synchronisation of telecontrol networks
(North-West University, 2004)
Eskom, South A6ica's largest supplier of electricity, uses a vast telecommunication
network to control and monitor all operations in remote locations such as substations. As Eskom expanded the electricity network across ...
A study of the effect of MPLS on quality of service in wireless LANs
(North-West University, 2006)
The increasing availability of wireless technology, both at home and in the workplace, offers many advantages in terms of mobility and freedom of connectivity. However, switching from a wired to a wireless transmission ...
Application of an adapted MCDA using UCN's
(North-West University, 2004)
In this dissertation an adapted MCDA (Multiple-Criteria Decision Aid) evaluation
processlmethod is presented. In this adapted process/method, evaluation techniques
that are intended for the detailed evaluation of subsections ...
An investigation of dry band arcing on optical fibre
(North-West University, 2004)
Communication companies are spending millions of Rands on installing optic fibre cables and links, with the purpose of increasing network bandwidth, reliability and stability. Several utilities, that combine power supply ...
Improving end-to-end delay for real-time multimedia traffic in mobile ad-hoc networks
(North-West University, 2008)
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are infrastructure-less, self-organizing wireless networks. Nodes in these networks are able to communicate in the absence of access points, via single-hop or multi-hop paths on a peer-to-peer ...
The development of a multimedia reader for distance learning
(North-West University, 2005)
The goal of this project was to produce a device which can provide distance learning students with a method of learning by means of enriched study material. This device must be able to display study material in the form ...
Exploiting the implicit error correcting ability of networks that use random network coding
(North-West University, 2009)
In this dissertation, we developed a method that uses the redundant information implicitly generated inside a random network coding network to apply error correction to the transmitted message. The obtained results show ...
Building a scalable virtual community on commodity hardware and open source software
(North-West University, 2008)
The information era has brought upon us waves of change that brings affordable technology Within the reach of the average person. Computers connected to the Internet, part of our daily living, have led to the formation of ...
Development of a system for tracking objects in a confined space
(North-West University, 2009)
The Pebble Bed Modular Reactor (PBMR) is one of the alternative generation options
that Eskom is currently investigating to replace their old coal-fired plants. The PBMR
plants are smaller than conventional plants and ...
Using topological information in opportunistic network coding
(North-West University, 2008)
Recent advances in methods to increase network utilization have lead to the introduction of a relatively new method called Network Coding. Network Coding is a method that can reduce local congestion in a network by combining ...
