Introduction/purpose: To specify the practical application of ECMA355 and ECMA-336 Standards for Q-SIG tunneling and the implementation of mapping functions via the existing IP (Internet Protocol) network of the Serbian Armed Forces (Intranet SAF), in the Private Automatic Telephone Network SAF (PATN SAF), as the main part of the Private telecommunication-information networks of integrated services SAF (PISN SAF). Methods: Description of the implemented solution and analysis of the software parameters of the established transmission SIP route, with the display of the results obtained in the fight with jitter and echo in the network. Results: With such a solution, it was achieved that participants from the peripheral parts of the PISN SAF, which operate on the principle of transmission and circuit switching by TDM (Time Division Multiplexing), can connect with each other via the newly established central IP network SAF (Core network) which operates on the principle of transmission and switching packets with the SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), without losing the functionality of QSIG from the framework of the digital telecommunication network of integrated services ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network). Conclusion: The article deals with the modern IP PINX (Private Integrated Services Network Exchange) manufactured by Mitel, type MX-ONE Service Node 6.0, which is implemented at the transit level PATN SAF and which successfully implements the process of tunneling Q-SIG through the IP network and the necessary functions for mapping the transmission of tunneled QSIG messages and mapping voice (and other audio) information to VoIP (Voice over IP) communication media streams through that network. Also, the basic elements for its software preparation during the introduction of a new SIP route, with a capacity of 30 IP trunks in a transmission beam realized with 100 Mb/s-T Ethernet, are given, and the fight with the present jitter and echo in the network is described. Finally, the paper presents the experience-based values of the parameters for reducing the influence of jitter and suppressing echo.

Optimum Sizing of Photovoltaic-Battery Power Supply for Drone-Based Cellular Networks

In order to provide Internet access to rural areas and places without a reliable economic electricity grid, self-sustainable drone-based cellular networks have recently been presented. However, the difficulties of power consumption and mission planning lead to the challenge of optimal sizing of the power supply for future cellular telecommunication networks. In order to deal with this challenge, this paper presents an optimal approach for sizing the photovoltaic (PV)-battery power supply for drone-based cellular networks in remote areas. The main objective of the suggested approach is to minimize the total cost, including the capital and operational expenditures. The suggested framework is applied to an off-grid cellular telecommunication network with drone-based base stations that are powered by PV-battery systems-based recharging sites in a rural location. The PV-battery system is optimally designed for three recharging sites with three different power consumption profiles with different peak and cumulative loads. Results show that the optimal design of the PV-battery system is dependent on geographical data, solar irradiation, and ambient temperature, which affect the output power of the PV system, as well as the power consumption profile, which affects the required number of PV panels and battery capacity.

The calibration method of a tandem queueing model with PH service time using NS-3 simulation of a multihop wireless network

End-to-end delay is one of the key characteristics of communication network performance. This characteristic determines the possibility of using the network for various delay-critical applications like voice or video transmission. One of the widely used approaches to estimating delays is the use of the queuing theory. According to this approach, a telecommunication network is modeled using a multiphase queuing system. Communication channels are modeled using service devices, and the incoming traffic is modeled with random distributions of the inter-arrival intervals between packets. The accuracy of this network model directly depends on how well the service time distributions are chosen. These distributions must consider the specifics of complex telecommunication protocols, size distributions of the transmitted packets, and, in case of wireless channels, the rate of collisions and retransmissions. The paper presents a study of the accuracy of estimates of end-to-end delays in a multi-hop wireless network using a queuing network with a phase-type (PH) service time distributions. To calibrate the model, PH distributions are found using the moments-matching method based on sample data on the duration of packet transmission in IEEE 802.11 channels. This sample data was obtained using a simulation model written in NS-3, taking into account the features of the IEEE 802.11 protocol and the presence of collisions in the network. To evaluate the accuracy, end-to-end delays are calculated using the queuing network and the wireless network simulation model. It is shown that it is possible to obtain reasonably accurate estimates for small networks, but with an increase in the size of the network, the accuracy decreases. In conclusion, recommendations are given to improve the accuracy of modeling.

Modeling Conflicts Resulting from Sharing Telecommunication Resource between Antagonistic Control Systems

Today state-of-the-art communication systems, whilst being limited in resources, use a shared information and telecommunication network to provide integrated communication services; the resources of such a network are split between various control systems, some of which may conflict, resulting in a variety of malware attacks. This paper dwells upon a method for modeling conflicts resulting from sharing a telecommunication resource between antagonistic control systems; the method takes into account the use of such a shared resource (ITCN) and the following processes: data processing by cyber threat intelligence systems, and making decisions on executing MAs upon the elements of conflicting control systems; for each moment of simulation time, the method calculates the current potential of each conflicting system in order to find the average potential degradation time.
