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 ...
Topological arrangement of nodes in wireless networks suitable for the implementation of network coding
(North-West University, 2010)
Network coding refers to the implementation of coding methods to utilize network connections more efficiently. Network coding is commonly researched in the information theory field, but very little research is being done ...
A network traffic model for wireless mesh networks
(North-West University, 2013)
Design and management decisions require an accurate prediction of the performance of the network. Network performance estimation techniques require accurate network traffic models. In this thesis we are concerned with the ...
Comparing network coding implementations on different OSI layers
(North-West University, 2010)
Network coding is a technique used to increase the capacity of a network by combining messages sent over the network. The combined messages could be separated by using sufficient original messages which were used to combine ...
An improved error correction algorithm for multicasting over LTE networks
(2014)
Multicasting in Long-Term Evolution (LTE) environments poses several challenges if it is to be reliably implemented. Neither retransmission schemes nor Forward Error Correction (FEC), the traditional error correction ...
A topological reliability model for TCP/IP over Ethernet networks
(2014)
Network failures can originate from or be located in any one of several network layers as described by the OSI model. This investigation focuses on the role of physical topological design parameters in determining network ...
