Sociocommunicative Practice of Yuriy Fedkovych as a Dialogue of Cultures
Authors: Kovalets Lidiia
Published: January 2025

The history of Yuriy Fedkovych is represented not so much in a global sense as in an existential one – considering that every individual we communicate with represents a new distinct culture. Initially, the specific system of the writer’s connections with his closest environment, especially his father, A. Hordynsky de Fedkovych, is examined, indicating the validity of purely ethnic peculiarities of Bukovynian Hutsuls’ communication in the discussed situation and the “textual”, dialogic openness of Y. Fedkovych’s literary and public activities to Others. Then, various forms of the artist’s relationships with Others are distinguished. These are primarily relationships of unity, dialogic communication, subordinated to high democratic-cultural goals and connected with literature and creative practice. This refers to contacts with his sister Mariia, selected representatives of creative intelligentsia (R. Rothkähl, E.-R. Neibauer, A. Kobyliansky and K. Horbal, E. Maroshani, D. Taniachkevych, M. Drahomanov, S. Smal-Stotsky). In relationships with peasants and fellow soldiers, Y. Fedkovych similarly demonstrated not an authoritarian, imperative, but a subject-to-subject style of communication and received high humanistic values in return. However, sometimes these dialogues, due to the utilitarian human nature of some Others, were unable to develop into a full-fledged dialogue of cultures. The circumstances of Y. Fedkovych’s complicated communication with the native intelligentsia and himself in the second half of his life (from the mid-1860s) are examined, which was a reaction to lower forms of relationships between communicants – pseudo-dialogical, even utilitarian, but not complete. Then, conversations with books compensated for the deficit of human attention, which was a form of genuine dialogue of cultures. It is concluded that Y. Fedkovych’s limited communication with contemporaries largely prompted him to communicate with them and all Others through his creative work. The writer possessed a high level of culturological thinking, effectively received and transmitted values of native and foreign cultures, thus he can be considered perhaps the brightest carrier of his ethnic community’s cultural code into the broadest cultural context.
Heteromorphic Verse in Romanian Poetry of the First Decades of the 20th Century
Authors: Paladian Kristiniia
Published: January 2025

In the article the Romanian heteromorphic verse of the early 20th century is examined. It is shown that, despite rejecting traditional norms of verse organization – such as isometry, isotony, isosyllabism, rhyme, and regular strophic patterns – these works are nonetheless based on certain versification systems. The first experiments with poetic forms were recorded specifically in syllabo-tonic verse. Such experiments include heterometric or free forms of a nontraditional type, which are constructed on the principle of graphic segmentation of the verse, meaning these works consist of regular syllabo-tonic lines but with disrupted line-length uniformity. Among them, we identify structures with a metrical dominant, where the rhythmic inertia of the text is still perceptible, and constructions with an unlimited range of line lengths, where rhythmic scansion is lost. Another manifestation of disorder is found in heterometric verses – disordered structures that combine lines written in different meters without a systematic pattern, creating a unified whole that cannot be separated into distinct components. Within such structures, we distinguish works where lines written in different syllabo-tonic meters are disorderly combined, and poems where syllabo-tonic verses alternate with tonic lines and even with free verse. Tonic disorder is represented by heteroictic forms, which appear in two types: structures with a certain regularity in the number of ictuses and inter-ictic intervals, organized into strophoids, and structures with a chaotic alternation of lines with varying ictus patterns and a wide (ranging from zero to five) inter-ictic interval range. It is demonstrated that the emergence of heteromorphic structures reflects an effort to overcome the excessive rigidity of canonical verse. Its defining feature lies in the intention to challenge the fundamental principle of homomorphism in versification techniques.
Voices of Memory by Women Authors: The Narration of the Traumatic Past in Ukrainian Literature at the Turn of the 20th and 21st Centuries
Authors: Varetska Sofiya , Hrecheshnyuk Olya
Published: January 2025

The article deals with the study of the representation of the traumatic past in German and Ukrainian literature. The research demonstrates the role of the “culture of memories” and its impact on the process of “overcoming the past” in the political and cultural life of the Ukrainian people. Besides, the research results show the characteristic of understanding the traumas of the past in German-speaking society. There are a lot of works of modern German literature, which are devoted to the crimes of the Nazi regime and their impact on German culture and identity. Many modern literary-critical articles explore individual and collective memory, the problem of guilt, and the difficulties of literary interpretation of the unspeakable. The work is based on research of the important works of famous scientists (T. Hundorova, Y. Polishchuk, M. Riabchuk, O. Pukhonska, M. Barabash, L. Lavrynovych, O. Yavorska, R. Holyk, K. Rutar). Ukrainian literature is analyzed as a space where post-colonial discourse manifests itself, and literary texts are an important tool for reflecting and transmitting historical events and personal and collective memories. Based on the analysis of the novels of V. Amelina “Home for Dom”, O. Zabuzhko “Museum of Abandoned Secrets” and S. Andrukhovych “Amadoka”, the authors demonstrate the traumatic past of Ukrainian individual and collective destinies. Studying such tragedies as the Holodomor, Stalinist repressions, deportations, and wars is important for the formation of national identity. These are not simple stories of Ukrainian families, but serious studies by the authors of the problem of memory. These works are an important contribution to modern Ukrainian literature, and therefore this topic is a relevant research material. In this article, the culture-historical and comparative methods are used.
Implementation of the Compensatory and Therapeutic Function of Religion in Fiction (based on William Paul Young’s “The Shack”)
Authors: Horokholinska Iryna
Published: January 2025

The article explores the compensatory and therapeutic function of religion in fiction through the example of William Paul Young’s novel “The Shack”. The analysis is conducted from an interdisciplinary perspective that integrates theological, philosophical, and literary approaches. The central plotline of the novel revolves around the existential struggle of the protagonist, Mack, who undergoes profound spiritual and axiological despair following the loss of his child. The symbolic space of the novel, built on religious imagery and biblical references, provides a foundation for understanding pain, despair, and faith as interconnected elements of human existence. The author examines the literary text, which abounds in religious symbols and images, as a therapeutic tool that allows the reader, through empathizing with the characters, to reflect on their own experiences of suffering, discover pathways toward spiritual transformation, and restore trust in higher values. Particular attention is given to the triad of characters – Mack, Nan, and Missy – who symbolize struggle, trust, and love as key stages of the human spiritual journey. The article emphasizes the significance of such narratives in times of war, when a crisis of meaning and the loss of orientation necessitate the spiritual revitalization of individuals. It concludes that the synergy of the artistic and religious dimensions in literature holds potential for fostering spiritual resilience, where suffering is perceived as a space for encountering the transcendent, and the literary text serves as a medium for therapeutic catharsis and the restoration of life resources for communication and creativity.
Formation of Donbas Mythological Image in Ukrainian Literature: Cultural, Social, and Political Aspects
Authors: Namestiuk Svitlana , Stefurak Olena , Basniak Tetiana
Published: January 2025

This article explores the process of shaping the image of Donbas in Ukrainian literature, perceived as a region artificially isolated from the rest of Ukraine. Particular attention is devoted to the mythologisation of Donbas’s space and identity, which has influenced cultural and social processes while intensifying the challenges posed by hybrid warfare. The study draws on the work of Ukrainian and foreign scholars who examine the impact of the Soviet legacy, politically motivated information campaigns, and the narratives crafted in literary and artistic works. The article highlights the transformation of regional identity, the emergence of new cultural codes and narratives, and the role of internally displaced persons in modernising and constructing civil society in Ukraine. Emphasis is placed on the reception of the Donbas myth in literary and documentary works of the early 21st century. The study observes that contemporary literary research has yet to provide a systematic understanding of this phenomenon, despite existing studies on literary genres, the interplay between historical truth and fiction, and structural elements. The importance of developing a new field within literary studies – namely, the “local urban text” – is underscored. This field includes specific interpretations such as the “eastern text” or the “Donetsk text”. Within this context, the works of Oksana Zabuzhko, Serhiy Zhadan, and Andriy Kokotiukha are analysed. Their essays are considered sources of cultural and conceptual codes that shape contemporary perceptions of Donbas. Thus, the study of the symbolism and mythologisation of Donbas by these authors offers fresh perspectives for literary debates, highlighting the uniqueness and multidimensional richness of this region within the Ukrainian national and cultural context.

Artistic Markers in the Essays of Oleksandr Boichenko
Authors: Vardevanian Svitlana
Published: January 2025

The essays of Oleksandr Boichenko are primarily a reflex and reflection on the issues of the day. Reflex – as they are almost instant reactions to problems that provoke Ukrainian society. Reflection – as the essayist, within the field of his text, often contemplates reality, employing Socratic maieutics as a means of self-discovery, a technique for creating concise writings, and a way to communicate with readers. However, when Boichenko’s columns, usually published in “Zbruch”, “Krayina”, and other media, are turned into books, the texts are detached from the news stream, stripped of dates and the presence of essays by other authors, and recontextualized by the book’s title. At this point, these texts, initially perceived as direct-action essays, begin to reveal previously unnoticed facets and drift toward artistry. This is particularly true of essays in which Oleksandr Boichenko draws on his personal life experiences – family, friends, travels, and overcoming illness. While these texts could be classified as memoirs, they are constructed based on the principles of artistic writing. The author develops plots (both local, within individual essay-novellas, and overarching, shaping the sequence of texts in each book), employs irony, sarcasm, satire, paronomasia, defamiliarization, overt stylistic devices, anachronisms, narrator juggling, and – in a thoroughly postmodern manner – explicitly and implicitly incorporates quotations into his texts. He meticulously selects epithets, creates fresh metaphors, and maintains rhythm. In crafting his essays, Boichenko builds his own linguistic paradigm, creating a distinctive style. Oleksandr Boichenko primarily works within the genre of diatribe, particularly Menippean satire, although his latest book, “Hra na vybuvannia”, demonstrates a departure from this genre. Boichenko’s texts exhibit a tendency toward monologism, and a noticeable shift to a different stylistic approach emerges. The author moves closer to metamodern discourse, with postmodernist playfulness diminishing, and textual passages oscillating between irony and sincerity.
Issues of Authorship in Nonfiction Literature (on the example of Edith Egger and Martha Hillers)
Authors: Varetska Sofiya
Published: January 2025

Issues of authorship in nonfiction literature, in particular in works representing traumatic experiences, such as the Auschwitz concentration camp or the period of occupation of Berlin by Soviet troops after World War II, are considered. It is noted that this problem is complex and multifaceted, going beyond the usual understanding of authorship. In the example of the works of Edith Jaeger (“Choice”) and Martha Hillers (“A Woman in Berlin”), the author analyzes different approaches to authorship and their impact on the perception of texts and interaction with the reader. The relevance of the work is due to the lack of a precise terminological apparatus in Ukrainian literary studies for analyzing nonfiction. At the same time, the authorship of fiction is a well-researched aspect; authorship in nonfiction texts, which balances between facts and interpretation, opens up new discussions about the limits of truth and ethical responsibility. Edith Jaeger chooses an open approach, legitimizing her experience through her identity, which serves as a tool of therapy and authority. Instead, Gillers, remaining anonymous, uses this approach as a defense mechanism that allows her to share painful events while avoiding the risk of public attack. It is noted that their works not only transform individual memories into public memory but also question the boundaries between authorship, authenticity, and ethical aspects of representation. Both cases demonstrate that authorship in nonfiction is a key element that influences narrative formation, traumatic experience representation, and audience interaction. The conclusions emphasize that such works reveal a profound dynamic between the personal, historical, and literary dimensions, raising important questions of authenticity, responsibility, and representation.
Imagological Representation of the Balkan City in the Collection of Essays by Joseph Roth “Cities and People”
Authors: Horbatiuk Maryna
Published: January 2025

The article makes an imagological analysis of the section “Journey through the Balkans” from the book “Cities and people” written by famous Austrian writer Joseph Roth (1894–1939). The specifics of the formation of the urban imagological image as a socio-cultural space are described, the characteristic features of the author’s travelologists are outlined, including: subjective optics, symbolism, representation of cultural, social and political transformations, etc. The study used elements of the biographical method, because the author came from Brody (now Lviv region), which is the border town. He grew up in a multiethnic multilingual environment on the outskirts of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, which partially influenced his understanding of the Balkan context and undisguised empathy for the inhabitants of this region. The article mentions J. Roth’s personal experience of participation in the First World War, as the writer resorts to retrospection in the last text of the analyzed chapter and uses his stay in Serbia as a way to close the gestalt and work through the triggers through reporting. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of social contrasts, architectural landscapes, the political structure of different Balkan countries, as well as a generalized description of the mentality and life of the population. It is determined that the author considers cities as a metaphor for identity, cultural crossroads and existential search. He applies an anthropocentric approach to the description of urban space, emphasizing details that reflect the spirit of the times and cultural specifics. The article emphasizes the uniqueness of J. Roth’s reports, which go beyond the traditional ideas about travelogues. The study is interdisciplinary and is based on the methods of imagology, cultural studies, literary hermeneutics and sociocultural analysis. The article contributes to the rethinking of the place of J. Roth’s travelologists in European literature, as well as the author’s contribution to the formation of cultural memory of the Balkans in the interwar period.
Constructing Reality in Literary Reportage: The Fictional Dimension of the Documentary
Authors: Kachak Khrystyna
Published: January 2025

The article analyzes the methods of constructing reality in literary reportage, using examples from German-language literary reportage texts of the 19th–21st centuries. It is noted that, given the hybrid nature of this text type, it is characterised by documentariness, which implies the depiction of reality through artistic means through the prism of the author's own experience. This feature justifies the consideration of fictional and documentary components in it not in opposition, but in their complementarity as components of a single textual space. It is established that such a combination contributes to a deeper disclosure of the topic, creates an emotionally rich narrative, while maintaining a connection with reality, which makes the text both reliable and artistically expressive. In order to identify the strategy of constructing reality and establish the relationship between the fictional and the documentary, the analysis was carried out within three categories: text structure, formal features and internal characteristic elements (level of direct presence, character level, documentary level). It was found that the presence of photographs and maps in the text, accurate descriptions of the place of action, chronological narration with time specification, detailing of audio elements, direct speech of characters and integration of reference information into the text enhance the documentary nature and reliability of the depicted. The fictional nature of literary reportage is represented by the level of experience, which, although indicating the author’s direct presence, is formed through the author’s reflection, supplemented by stylistic devices. Thus, it is established that the documentary and fictional components engage in a productive interaction, facilitated in particular by the mediality of the text. This mediality is expressed through multichannel elements (such as text, visual imagery, and sound) and intermediality, resulting in a holistic and multidimensional narrative capable of effectively conveying both informational and emotional content.
Strategies of Biographical Writing: Irving Stone and His Fictionalised Biographies of Artists in the Development of Biographical Texts
Authors: Levytska Oksana
Published: January 2025

The article is dedicated to the development of the genre of fictionalised biography, its beginnings, the aspects of its evolution and transformation, and inter-art strategies, as highlighted primarily in the material of biographical prose about artists written by the American writer Irving Stone. Starting from 1934, when Lust for Life about Vincent van Gogh came out, and during the upcoming decades, Stone resorted to the genre on many occasions, thus laying the foundation for the development of fictionalised biographies about artists, sculptors and other renowned personalities. In 1957, as a popular biographical novel writer, Stone presented the fundamentals of biographical fiction in a lecture he delivered at the Library of Congress. The paper focuses on the analysis of primary strategies for writing fictional biographies identified in novels about artists, the lecture about biographical novels, and during analysis of the specifics of the development of the genre of fictionalised biographies in a long-term prospect. The article examines the basics of biographical novels in the legacy of Irving Stone and within a wider context of biographical fiction development. The historical and literary approach and intermedial studies have been used to analyse trends in the development of the genre of biographies of artists. The analysis is centred on the essential characteristics of biographical novels about artists by Irving Stone, which feature complicated personalities, exposure of the psychology of the character, and the poetics of inter-art interaction which are revealed through a detailed study of an artist’s studio, description of the creative process, the use of pictorial quotes and ekphrasis, complying with the palette via the use of colour terms. Currently, we are witnessing a resurgence of interest in biographical fiction in Western literary studies, which is attested to by such works as L’épuisement du biographique? еd. by V. Broqua and G. Marche, 2010, a 2014 collection of interviews Truthful Fictions: Conversations with American Biographical Novelists, a 2012 publication of the special edition of the Critique journal on the issues of biographical genre.
Assignment in Anti-Utopia
Authors: Potnitseva Tetiana
Published: January 2025

The investigation proposes a comparative analysis of three modern bestsellers of non-fiction which being too different in their subject matter nevertheless are connected with the name of the English writer George Orwell and his famous novel “1984”. An attempt is made to clarify the cause of that. The one is the 75th anniversary since the book came out, and the other – an extreme relevance of the famous dystopia that turned out to be on time and called for very much at our difficult time first of all because of the events connected with the military aggression of Russia. The war I Ukraine ruined the remnants of illusions about the Soviet/social brotherhood of people discovering clearly the essence of the Russian empire totalitarian regime. The comparative analysis of the books proposed (Lynskey Dorian. Ministry of Truth: A Biography of George Orwell “1984”, 2019; Ricks Thomas E. Churchill and Orwell. The Fight for Freedom, 2017; Laurence Rees. Hitler and Stalin. The Tyrants and the Second World War, 2020) made it possible to identify a general direction of the authors’ thoughts that was prompted namely by Orwell – the necessity to reveal the essence of totalitarianism and the possibility to live in future without the Great Brother. But is there ever such a possibility? The authors very often come to sad conclusion that makes the Orwell’s predictions concerning the further development of the history and society true.
The Image of Narcissus in Literary Criticism
Authors: Fonari Victoria
Published: January 2025

A mythical image takes on new connotations in literary criticism. The image of the myth is used as an explanatory route from the context that maintains the explanation of the relationship between the text and the author/writer. Narcissism is analyzed from the perspective of the “mirror effect” paradigm by university professor Sanda-Maria Ardeleanu and the participants of the transdisciplinary project: Fiction-Psychiatry / Anthropology. The main objectives are: differential explanation of narcissism, depending on time; the approach of several scientific models; explaining the scientific consensus on the notion of narcissism; the investigation of narcissism in some Romanian writers from the 20th century. In this regard, the literary critic elaborates his vision in an explanatory stratification that contains certain landmarks, which the reader begins to notice the interpretive construct similar to a journey. The mythical image used in the study of literary criticism has an element that fascinates through its recognition and the detection of the transformations attributed to it by the researcher. Academician Eugen Simion, a graduate of the University of Bucharest, cataloged in “Fiction of the intimate diary” the relationships between the author and the diary from the perspective of Narcis’s fears/expectations. The problem of reflection involves the researcher to probe another fundamental element of the myth – the mirror. And this is not about the surface of the lake or the Venetian mirror. Any mirror is imperfect for the one who struggles with the goal of stopping time, of perpetuating himself in an eternal metamorphosis. Academician Mihai Cimpoi investigates the Eminesian creation through the monad Narcissus – Hyperion. Other correspondences persist with other mythical characters, such as: Neptune, Prometheus, Orpheus, Parce, etc. To explain the possible perspectives of knowledge in Eminesian creation, the researcher will be determined by two names from Greek mythology: Narcissus and Hyperion.
Making Non-Fiction a Literary and Political Profession of Faith: The Making of a “Poached” Work, the Construction of an Authorial Posture and Strategic Literary Uses of Sociology by Annie Ernaux
Authors: Charpentier Isabelle
Published: January 2025

This article examines the uses of non-fiction in the autosociobiographical work of Annie Ernaux, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature 2022, and the literary and political issues involved in blurring the boundaries between literature and sociology. From the “transpersonal I” of La Place (Gallimard, 1984) to the “collective autobiography” of Les Années (Gallimard, 2008), via her “exterior diaries” described as “ethnotexts”, the writer has gradually built up a distinctive authorial posture in which she shows herself as an ‘ethnologist of herself’ and of everyday life “down below”, that of her working-class social milieu of origin, in constant search of the “right” form for such narratives. Sociologically informed, this singular literary approach, characterized by a double rejection of the pitfalls of misery and populist posturing, but also by a constant concern to control her own reception, aims to objectify her upward social migration trajectory and those of her social peers, in a deliberately minimalist style, ostensibly sparing of literary means and effects, often described by literary critics as “flat” or “white” writing. Opposing her concern for the “truth” to the autofiction movement to which she is still sometimes misunderstood, the author, who sees literature as a political ‘weapon of combat’, has thus initiated a specific form of autosociobiography, which is not without risk with regard to her position and recognition in the contemporary French literary field.

Published: January 2025

Tujuan penelitian ialah untuk menganalisis pengaruh pengeluaran pemerintah, UMP, dan PMDN terhadap jumlah penduduk miskin di Pulau Sumatera selama periode 2019-2023. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan Panel Least Squares (PLS) dengan pendekatan data panel, melibatkan 10 provinsi di Sumatera dengan 50 observasi panel yang seimbang. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketiga variabel independent pengeluaran pemerintah, UMP, dan PMDN berpengaruh signifikan dan negatif terhadap jumlah penduduk miskin. Secara spesifik, koefisien regresi untuk pengeluaran pemerintah sebesar -0,007801 mengindikasikan bahwa setiap peningkatan pengeluaran pemerintah sebesar 1 miliar rupiah akan mengurangi jumlah penduduk miskin sebesar 0,007801 ribu jiwa (sekitar 7,8 orang). Koefisien UMP sebesar -0,146798 menunjukkan bahwa setiap peningkatan UMP sebesar 1 juta rupiah akan mengurangi jumlah penduduk miskin sebesar 0,146798 ribu jiwa (sekitar 147 orang). Koefisien PMDN sebesar -0,010232 berarti setiap peningkatan PMDN sebesar 1 miliar rupiah akan mengurangi jumlah penduduk miskin sebesar 0,010232 ribu jiwa (sekitar 10 orang). Secara simultan, ketiga variabel ini mampu menjelaskan 97,22% dari variasi jumlah penduduk miskin di Pulau Sumatera. Dengan demikian, kebijakan ekonomi yang berfokus pada peningkatan pengeluaran pemerintah, peningkatan UMP, dan investasi PMDN di wilayah Sumatera sangat efektif dalam menekan angka kemiskinan.

Dengan pendekatan kuantitatif, data dikumpulkan dari total 203 responden melalui metode Snowball Sampling dengan kuesioner terstruktur. Studi ini menggunakan analisis SEM-PLS dengan software Smart PLS 4 untuk meneliti determinan financial wellbeing Generasi Z yang berpenghasilan di kota Surabaya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa financial literacy, self-control, dan financial behavior secara signifikan memengaruhi financial wellbeing. Self-control secara positif memengaruhi financial behavior, yang menekankan peran pentingnya dalam mendorong pengambilan keputusan keuangan yang bijak, sementara financial behavior memediasi hubungan antara financial literacy, self-control, financial stress, dan financial wellbeing. Secara praktis, hal ini menunjukkan bahwa Generasi Z dan pemerintah harus mengambil langkah-langkah konkret; Generasi Z dapat memperoleh manfaat dari pendidikan keuangan tentang pengeluaran, manajemen utang, dan investasi. Sementara pemerintah dapat mendukung program financial literacy sebagai sumber daya yang mudah diakses bagi Generasi Z di Indonesia.
Reducing clean cell loss rate in wireless ATM networks
Authors: Sheu Shiann‐Tsong
Published: January 2025

In wireless asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) networks, the bit error rate is high and burst errors may occur in transmission due to jamming and fading. When single‐bit error occurs in cell header, it can be easily corrected by the CRC‐8 code in the HEC (Header Error Correction) field. However, HEC can not recover the cells with burst errors, and they will be lost or mis‐routed accordingly. A strategy to spread each bit of a header field over the entire data field has been proposed to reduce the cell loss probability in wireless ATM networks. In such method, most burst errors are transformed into single‐bit errors in header and the HEC is able to recover it. Intuitively, each corrected cell has a higher probability to contain incorrect payload due to burst errors. When network becomes congested, these dirty cells should be dropped first to reduce the number of error cells received by receiver. Meanwhile, the number of retransmitted cells is also reduced. In this paper, the cell payload error probability of a corrected cell is analyzed. A simple cell priority swapping mechanism and the cell discarding strategy are also introduced to reduce the clean cell loss rate on wireless ATM networks. To precisely recognize dirty cells, an efficient hybrid data/header interleaving strategy is proposed. The performance of proposed strategies are investigated by simulation. The simulation results show that the proposed strategies substantially reducing the clean cell loss rate.

Published: January 2025

The issues of integrating multimedia traffic in the reverse (mobile to base station) link of wireless CDMA networks are studied. Due to their delay constraint, realtime (voice/video) services are subject to connection‐level admission control. In order to maintain the quality of realtime voice/video traffic while fully utilizing the unused channel capacity, non‐realtime data traffic follows burst‐level congestion control. Two congestion control policies are introduced and their performance under 3 types of feedback information is compared. The impact of various system parameters, such as the traffic parameters (especially video) and the processing gain of the CDMA system are also quantified.

Telemedicine is many things to many people. Only until a few years ago, telemedicine was equated to video teleconferencing between physicians, while nowadays, perhaps the most active area in telemedicine is the store‐and‐forward model. There is a big shift from private and dedicated modes of communications to connectivity through the Internet. Presented is a collection of applications that provide snapshots of this diversity. The key technical challenges identified from these experiences are connectivity and integration. Also, at issue are the evolution process through which a telemedicine application evolves and the ability to choose the right set of technology for the diverse type of telemedicine applications. With the projected improvements in speed and quality of the Internet, wireless communication, and personal computational devices, it is expected that various concepts of telemedicine will develop into standard practices in tomorrow’s health care.

Published: January 2025

Bluetooth is a promising new technology for short range, low power, low cost, pico‐cellular wireless connectivity between mobile devices. Efficient clustering or topology construction algorithms play a very important role in the fast connection establishment of such networks. The performance of these algorithms is mainly dependent on the device discovery time, i.e., the time taken by a node to discover and to connect to another node in its radio range, as well as the protocols used for organizing them into the required topology. We define metrics for device discovery performance and evaluate them by simulating the inquiry routine in Bluetooth for various ad‐hoc scenarios. We indicate the scenario where device discovery in Bluetooth can become a bottleneck. We then describe some recent results on topology construction algorithms for Bluetooth. Data applications running over Bluetooth such as http, ftp and real audio will need transport layer protocols such as TCP and UDP to send packets over the wireless links. We propose and compare a number of MAC scheduling algorithms with the aim of improving the performance of asynchronous data traffic over a Bluetooth piconet that supports multiple active slaves. We study how the presence of circuit‐switched voice impacts the performance of data traffic.
Intelligent control of QoS adaptation in next generation wireless broadband networks
Authors: Toh C.‐K. , Tsai Wei K.
Published: January 2025

This paper highlights the differences in Quality of Service (QoS) definitions for wired high speed ATM networks and wireless broadband ATM networks. In particular, we highlight the issues behind QoS mapping and discuss several frameworks for QoS adaptation in wireless broadband networks. We explain the need for end‐to‐end adaptation and reveal how such adaptation occurs during mobile handoffs. The instability and sensitivity problems occurred as a result of frequent handoffs and QoS adaptation are explained and related to control theory. We provide several control approaches that will ensure stability in the network under such circumstances. It is important that future broadband wireless networks must be able to offer network services and QoS assurance without causing network instability. This paper, therefore, reveal possible approaches to be considered in the design of future broadband wireless systems.
An new approach to multi‐layer network survivability: strategies, model and algorithm

Published: January 2025

This paper studies multi‐layer survivability strategies in multi‐layer transport networks. Two escalation strategies, failure‐oriented and traffic‐oriented, are proposed, with the former reducing the time in both failure detection and notification, and the latter allowing priority restoration for different traffic. To reach the optimal spare resources for multi‐layer survivability, a new resource sharing pool (RSP) is provided, which allows resources to be shared among adjacent layers without incurring any additional resource on lower layers to provide for any redundant protection. The RSP is formulated as a difficult optimization problem, and can be combined with any escalation strategies and thus can be used in any type of multiple layer networks, such as WDM‐based SDH networks or IP over WDM networks. Finally, simulation is supplied to examine the efficiency of the RSP assuming the SDH‐based ATM transport network is in use.
Approaches for capacity and revenue optimization in survivable WDM networks

Published: January 2025

In this paper, we consider two important objectives of network operation: (i) capacity minimization and (ii) revenue maximization. For capacity minimization, we formulate three operational phases in survivable WDM network operation viz., initial call set up, short/medium‐term reconfiguration, and long‐term reconfiguration. All three phases are derived from a single integer linear programming (ILP) formulation. This common framework incorporates service disruption. We modify the framework for revenue maximization that includes a service differentiation model based on lightpath protection. We propose a multistage solution methodology to solve individual service classes sequentially and combine them to obtain a feasible solution. We provide cost comparisons in terms of increase in revenue obtained by various service classes with the base case of accepting demands without any protection. Results are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework.
