OTT services in Bosnia and Herzegovina

We have witnessed the rapid progress of information technology and the rapid penetration of the large number of services worldwide. Users can use OTT services on any device, regardless of the network access. For the purpose of using the various devices developed applications provide easy access to tailored device on which the application is installed. This paper explains the concept of OTT services as well as traditional operators response to OTT challenges. An analysis for the world market and analysis of the market of Bosnia and Herzegovina is given. Also, a brief overview of the OTT services regulation is given.

Conceptual radio resource management approach in LTE heterogeneous networks using small cells number variation

As a profound and evident future trend in the field of mobile communication technologies development, heterogeneous networks became one of the crucial points of interests in wireless networks industry and academic research societies. Considering heterogeneous networks as an inseparable concept from LTE networks nowadays, which remain at position of advanced cellular system, the researchers aim to observe and solve the possible problems of inter-cell interference from the aspect of radio resource management. Hence, the lattermost trends consider heterogeneous networks through the process of connecting energy-efficient small cells to macrocells, due to undeniable importance of energy-efficient solution deployment, which was briefly presented in this paper. Also, the combination of radio resource management and heterogeneous networks turned out to be a practical compound of modern telecommunication techniques and technologies which provides a huge spectrum of possibilities for improving telecommunication services with minimized costs and increased efficiency of the whole system. The concept of radio resource management used in this paper was practically tested by small cells number variation within LTE HetNet set up in NS3 simulation environment.

Modern spectrum management: Survey of 3G network traffic in Bosnia and Herzegovina

The rapid growth of connected devices worldwide has dramatically increased demand for available spectrum. The changeover to spectrum efficient digital terrestrial TV transmission freed up large blocks of spectrum. This paper aims to offer the results of the analysis of 3G mobile network usage in terms of traffic based on the case of dominant mobile operator in Bosnia and Herzegovina (B&H). By this it is identified whether the demand for more radio spectrum is legitimate. In order to satisfy the requirement for extension of radio spectrum aimed for broadband services the broadcast spectrum (470 - 700 MHz) has been investigated. The rest of the UHF broadcast band (700 - 860 MHz) was not considered since it is specified as the Digital Dividend and hence was not a subject of dynamic access to the spectrum investigation. All results have been compared to the relevant researches conducted in some European, US, Asian and African countries. Ultimately the analysis results would help the modernization and enhancement of spectrum management proposing the concept of spectrum sharing and dynamic spectrum access to the national regulatory authority in B&H.

Cloud computing in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Cloud computing delivers computational and communicational capabilities via the Internet. From processing and storing information and applications, to being able to access it from anywhere and at any time, cloud computing represents a breakthrough concerning how people and companies work and communicate through the Internet. In the last five years, cloud computing has a constant increase in its all aspects. With development of ICT technologies (on global level), limitations in providing cloud service does not exist anymore and market cannot be considered at the local level. Global picture and offer of cloud services which comes from global cloud service providers need to be considered. In this paper, the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina in terms of Cloud computing is presented.

IPTV in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is a key service that enables rapid development of broadband access while retaining customers in a fixed telephony. In this paper, the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina in terms of IPTV services is presented, including case studies for IPTV providers. Also, a brief overview of the regulatory framework is given.
