Modelling of advanced 802.11e technology features in OPNET Modeler environment
Šeliga, Michal ; Reichert, Pavel (referee) ; Molnár, Karol (advisor)
This master thesis includes a short review of the structure of WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) technologies 802.11a/b/g, the description of their physical interface and the description of the basic medium access control mechanisms implementing the PCF (Point Coordination Function) and DCF (Distributed Coordination Function) methods. I mainly focused on the detailed evaluation the new 802.11e standard which was designed to efficiently support real-time services in wireless environment. To provide QoS (Quality of Service) support, this standard specifies the EDCA (Ehanced Distributed Channel Access) and HCF (Hybrid Coordination Function) medium access control methods for the shared wireless environment. The next chapter of my work is devoted to the verification of the theoretical results in OPNET Modeler simulation environment. I studied in details the WLAN model available in OPNET Modeler, the effect of data-flow classification into separate categories and the configuration of several access method parameters. Next, I created my own WLAN model according to the 802.11e standard. This model contains four applications two of them with real-time requirements. The model is divided into several scenarios, each focusing on different aspects of wireless network technologies like QoS support and it´s dependency on the number of clients, mobility of wireless terminals and comparison of the 802.11a/b/g and the 802.11e technology.

Implementation of Quality of Service into Wireless Networks
Kaman, Štěpán ; Růčka, Lukáš (referee) ; Škorpil, Vladislav (advisor)
Wireless networks are currently the frequent access connection to the local network or the Internet. Until 2005 there was no support in the 802.11 standard priority data and the use of multimedia services in these networks is problematic. Thesis deals with the standard IEEE 802.11 standard and quality of service support including IEEE 802.11e. They discussed methods of access to transmission medium, differences in the MAC sublayer, the reader issues in the transmission of priority data and the requirements for these data. In Opnet Modeler was created wireless network with access points and stations on which they are carried out simulations at different strain of transmitted data. It studied the difference in the use of DCF and EDCF method, used in the network with QoS support. In particular, it examined the behavior of priority voice and video data in both networks. The focus is on key parameters such as throughput, dropping data, packet loss, delay, jitter and the size of broadcasting front. The measured data are analyzed, and differences in the network without the support and promoting the quality of services are compared and evaluated. Part of this work is the role of laboratory in the Opnet Modeler.

Effect of Network Link Failure and Alternative Route Usage on Quality of Service Assurance
Atanasčev, Petr ; Škorpil, Vladislav (referee) ; Hošek, Jiří (advisor)
Information about the differentiated services (DiffServ), the link failure problems and the alternate routes in a DiffServ domain finding are the aims of the master´s thesis to be given. Properties of the differentiated services, the usage of marking techniques in the DiffServ domain are described in the thesis. The concept of the DiffServ domain, its structure and mostly used today routing protocol OSPF are described too. The function model of the DiffServ domain has been created in the simulation environment called Opnet Modeleler on the basis of the obtained knowledge. The link failure and the following link recovery have been simulated in the model and the effects have been analyzed after that.

Analysis of LAN Network followed by Simulation in Opnet Modeler Environment
Skopal, Jakub ; Růčka, Lukáš (referee) ; Hošek, Jiří (advisor)
This thesis deals with the exploration of possibilities of LAN analysis with the use of the hardware analyzer Finisar TGHs from the Finisar Corporation Company. As a monitored network was choosed the local computer network in the laboratory PA-249 at the Department of Telecommunications, which is located at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication, Brno University of Technology. All results acquired from the complex long-term monitoring of the choosed LAN network are described in this thesis. Further, the thesis is focused on the simulation and analysis of the model of this network that was created in the simulation environment Opnet Modeler. The data obtained from the real LAN monitoring were used as a basis of an operating simulation of the transmission abilities and features of the real LAN network. The last part of the thesis describes the verification of the transmission capabilities and characteristics of the real LAN. Verification was performed in Opnet Modeler, where the network has been analyzed in detail.

Advanced modelling of SNMP behaviour in OPNET Modeler simulation environment
Bezchleba, Josef ; Skořepa, Michal (referee) ; Molnár, Karol (advisor)
The aim of my diploma is to introduce the SNMP protocol designed for remote device management to the readers and present its implementation into the Opnet Modeler simulation environment. For the implementation the DiffServMIB database has been chosen, which describes the components of differentiated services mechanism. My diploma thesis describes in detail the possibilities of application of the DiffServMIB database in traffic management. The design of a simulation model, which represents the differentiated data processing in input and output direction on a router interface, is also introduced. Next, this model is implemented into the Opnet Modeler simulation environment. The goal of this simulation model is the possibility of simple configuration of individual MIB attributes. In my work I also suggest an implementation method able to interconnect the MIB database with the configuration process of the active network element - with focus on output procedures of DiffServ mechanism.

IPTV multicast model with RTP protocol
Ležák, Aleš ; Skořepa, Michal (referee) ; Šimek, Milan (advisor)
This diploma thesis contains questions of simulation data transfer by ASM multicast. In simulation tool Opnet Modeler is proceed design of service IPTV. IPTV means television which is transfered in network by IP protocol. Data of IPTV service are sending by multicast transfer. Multicast is a technology which uses a group transfer. It is actually communication of a one source of data with many users. These users are receiving the same data. A main target of this technology is to decrement loading of source node and transference system in distribution of data towards group of users. Most often is multicast used in distribution of audiovisual data. Relation RTP/RTCP is simulated with a different numbers of users. Observed is interval of transmission of control RTCP packets. This will be reached by two methods which will be confront in the end. One is a theoretic calculation by course of a equation and second is a practical simulation in Opnet Modeler.

UMTS radio access network optimization in Opnet Modeler environment
Toman, Petr ; Herman, Ivo (referee) ; Novotný, Vít (advisor)
The differences between networks of mobile operators can be in their achitecture or the optimization of each network. The architecture is standardized which means there will only be differences in the willingness of mobile operators to invest in newer network elements. Network optimization is more important. The way of optimization isn't strictly given and depends on how the operator deals with it. The most important attribute in optimization is balance. The operators try to achieve balance among three important parameters. Those are capacity, coverage and maintaining QoS. Optimization depends on RRM algorithms. The algorithms include various functions such as admission control, congestion control, handover control, power control, etc. These elements don’t only affect the optimization but also affect each other, because they cooperate with each other. For example, an incorrect admission control of the network leads either to frequent network congestion because of a large number of participants in the network (participants are dissatisfied with the services offered by the operator) or to low utilization of the network because of too few participants in the network (the operator is dissatisfied because he is losing the possible earnings). Neither of these posibilities is good for the mobile operator, therefore it is important that the admission control is well balanced.
