The results obtained cover the consideration of network functions in a deterministic IP network (DIP), its architecture and principle of operation. The various aspects of segment routing (SR) technology are given, as well as the many use cases, incl. traffic engineering, network failure recovery, stateless chaining of services, introduction of 5G network "slices", cross-domain switching to connect users to applications on servers in multiple data centers, segment routing in SD-WAN. The main technologies of a DIP network are considered: traffic flow shaping (smoothing), input scheduling, time slot scheduling. The contributions relate to analysis and conclusions on the applicability, scope and development of DIP networks using segment routing technology within IPv6.</p>2024-06-30T00:00:00+00:00Copyright (c) 2024 Yearbook Telecommunicationshttps://ojs.nbu.bg/index.php/YT/article/view/1040Models for the optimization of radio signaling capabilities in 5G systems2024-10-25T13:11:10+00:00Rosen Pasarelskirpasarelski@nbu.bg<p class="Default"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Optimizing radio signaling capabilities in 5G systems involves various modeling techniques that can be systematized as follows - channel modeling, signal processing, optimization algorithms, queuing theory, machine learning, information theory, radio resource management, interference management, network topology and routing.</span></p> <p class="Default"><span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">The purpose of writing the article is to analyze mathematically the methods for optimizing radio signaling capabilities in 5G systems and to propose different models representing the behavior of the radio channel in variable environments and conditions.
