NJ Communications Chapter:
Next Generation Converged Network Architecture and Applications
On
Tuesday, October 16, 2007, the North Jersey Chapter of the IEEE Communications
Society along with the NJIT Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
will host a presentation titled “Next Generation Converged Network Architecture
and Applications” by Dr. Amit Mukhopadhyay and Carlos Urrutia-Valdés.
About
the Talk
Service providers around the world are either already deploying or planning to deploy the IP Multimedia Sub-system (IMS) in their networks. IMS will allow the delivery of new multimedia applications aimed at enhancing the user’s experience. So now that IMS is becoming a reality, what is next for “Next Generation Networks”?
In this talk, we will provide an overview of what lies beyond IMS and introduce a new set of services referred to as “blended services” which are created by providing seamless service control across multiple network domains. The role of IMS within the evolving area of Service Delivery Platforms and for the enablement of wireless and wireline convergence will also be examined. Sample services, architectures and call flows will be presented.
About
the Speakers
Amit
Mukhopadhyay is a distinguished member of technical staff at Bell Labs in
Murray Hill, New Jersey. He holds a PhD
degree in Operations Research from the University of Texas at Dallas. His current work focuses on 3G and beyond
wireless technologies, Cable and Broadband Access. He works closely with global service
providers to help define the course of Next Generation Networks. He is a senior member of the IEEE and has
numerous publications.
Carlos
Urrutia-Valdés is a member of technical staff in the Advanced Wireless and
Optical Network Modeling and Optimization Group of Bell Labs in Murray Hill,
New Jersey. He holds a BS in electrical
engineering from Florida International University in Miami and an MS in
computer engineering from the University of Southern California in Los Angeles. His current work focuses on network modeling
of 3G wireless networks and enabling core technologies. His previous work involved the design of TDM,
packet, and SS7 networks, and SS7 standards development, in connection with
which he was the technical editor of ANSI T1.116 SS7 OMAP. His current research interests are in the
areas of protocol analysis, traffic modeling, and the end-to-end design of
wireless and wireline networks.

NJ Communications Chapter:
Mobile TV and 3G Multicast
On
Tuesday, October 30, 2007, the North Jersey Chapter of the IEEE Communications
Society along with the NJIT Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
will host a presentation titled “Mobile TV and 3G Multicast” by Dr. Katherine
Guo.
About
the Talk
With the deployment of wide area wireless networks such as CDMA2000 1xEv-DO and UMTS HSPDA providing data rates close to wireline broadband connections, and with the unprecedented increase in mobile device capability, the mobile Internet is beginning to enable on-demand multimedia services anywhere anytime. Services like live TV, news summary, sports highlight, local traffic and weather reports are currently being delivered efficiently to mobile users using unicast channels. However, as subscribers increase with time, unicast is highly inefficient. Broadcast multicast services are the scalable solution to providing video services over 3G wireless networks. In the first half of the talk, an overview of the 3G broadcast multicast architecture will be presented.
Multicast scheduling in this context is challenging: there is no endpoint feedback mechanism, and the default schemes transmit data at a fixed rate assuming there is always a user at the edge of the cell. This conservative approach significantly limits throughput for users close to the base station. In the second half of the talk, a set of new multicast scheduling algorithms that offer proportional fairness property among groups and among users will be discussed.
