This work will be done by Eduardo Carvalho with the supervision of Prof. Francisco Fontes and Prof. Rui Aguiar from UA.
Motivation for the project:
Currently there are well-established transport networks, for clearly defined service requirements, mostly geographically well established. With the introduction of high-bandwidth services on the mobile network, the transport network is expected to have increased requirements, and to have increased Quality of Service challenges. Currently, Ethernet is appearing as a potential evolutionary technology, and two different techniques are now being discussed on the network: T-MPLS, PBB-TE and OTN. Optical based technologies are also a current trend.
This project aims to:
a) perform a comparison of the current and future alternatives for this core networks.
b) Define a methodology for selection of these alternatives, given aspects as coverage, customer usage, quality of service assurances, and evolution and deployment cost.
c) Develop a simulation/evaluation tool to apply this methodology
d) Apply this methodology to the Portuguese scenario
