Information and communication technology


Communication networks are complex systems. Simulation models of network behaviour help to forecast capacity and optimise resource allocation to minimise congestion. Improvements in the management of the radio spectrum can be achieved through accurate simulation of the propagation of electromagnetic waves through cluttered environments and various weather conditions.
