Short Abstract:
Over the past few years, there has been an increasing level of research activities worldwide to design and performance analysis for the future multiservice networks, namely M2M and D2D communications over the LTE networks, P2P live streaming networks. Our course outlines how mathematical models are being used to address current issues concerning quality of service and performance parameters of the modern and future networks. We shall first show models based on the teletraffic and queuing theory and reflecting key features of admission control mechanisms in the LTE network. We also show some stochastic geometry problems of the interference analysis in D2D wireless networks. Finally, we are discussing the problem of peer-to-peer streaming network simulation taking into account several types of selection strategies: neighbor selection strategy, peer selection strategy and chunk selection strategy. There should be great opportunities for the scientific community to contribute to solution of these problems in the forthcoming decade.
