Charging the services offered by the packet based UMTS environment is much more complex, than it is in the circuit based GSM systems. The situation is even more complicated, as services can be easily developed using standard APIs and can be offered by third party providers. Moreover, pre-paid users need a real-time approach for charging and billing...

A high gain wideband antenna array with an omnidirectional radiation pattern is presented for base station. The antenna array is composed of four elements and a circular four-way power divider. The proposed planar antenna element consists of four pairs of arc dipoles and a balun, which can achieve a better impedance match and a wider frequency rang...

This paper presents findings on performance benchmarking of cellular network operators in Turkey. Benchmarking is based on measurements of standard key performance indicators (KPIs) in one of the metropolitan cities of Turkey, Ankara. Performance benchmarking is formulated by incorporating customer perception by conducting surveys on how important...

Communications networks are complex systems that cannot simply be built, connected and left running without any attention: They require continuous monitoring for performance evaluation and optimisation especially when necessary. Typically, subscribers' complaints are an important trigger to perform this task. In this paper, firstly, measurements ha...

A novel triple-band circularly polarized printed crossed dipole antenna is proposed. Circular polarization (CP) in the antenna is achieved by feeding the orthogonal dipole arms with 90o phase difference using vacant quarter printed ring. Loading of the dipole arms with interdigital capacitor (IDC) of suitable parameters provides the triple band CP...

The evolution of mobile telecommunication networks and access bandwidth enabled operators to deliver IPTV services for mobile customers, however the existing mobile charging solutions are not effectively addressing the billing requirements of multimedia streams. This paper develops a quality based charging solution for 3GPP wireless networks, with the aim of providing a fair pricing solution for multimedia services. An appropriate business model is selected and a streaming proxy based charging architecture is developed based on the quality of the multimedia service. The proposed algorithms are theoretically evaluated by the derivation of the formulas of the distribution and the expected value of the price discount. A testbed is built and the findings are evaluated and compared with traditional charging functions.
