5G systems are putting increasing pressure on Telecom operators to enhance users’ experience, leading to the development of more techniques with the aim of improving service quality. However, it is essential to take into consideration not only users’ demands but also service providers’ interests. In this work, we explore policies that satisfy both views. We first formulate a mathematical model to compute End-to-End (E2E) delay experienced by mobile users in Multi-access Edge Computing (MEC) environments. Then, dynamic Virtual Machine (VM) allocation policies are presented, with the objective of satisfying mobile users Quality of Service (QoS) requirements, while optimally using the cloud resources by exploiting VM resource reuse.Thus, maximizing the service providers’ profit should be ensured while providing the service required by users. We further demonstrate the benefits of these policies in comparison with previous works.

Video streaming is expected to acquire a massive share of the global internet traffic in the near future. Meanwhile, it is expected that most of the global traffic will be carried over wireless networks. This trend translates into considerable challenges for Service Providers (SP) in terms of maintaining consumers' Quality of Experience (QoE), energy consumption, utilisation of wireless resources, and profitability. However, the majority of Radio Resource Allocation (RRA) algorithms only consider enhancing Quality of Service (QoS) and network parameters. Since this approach may end up with unsatisfied customers in the future, it is essential to develop innovative RRA algorithms that adopt a user-centric approach based on users' QoE. This chapter focus on wireless video over Critical communication systems that are inspired by QoE perceived by end users. This chapter presents a background to introduce the reader to this area, followed by a review of the related up-to-date literature.

The market for shared mobility services is growing very quickly. New types of vehicles have been introduced, and the offer of available services and functionalities has expanded, the purpose of which is to improve the quality of service. Despite all the improvements, it is still not possible to speak of achieving full availability of systems that meet the needs of users. This is due to the reluctant involvement of operators of shared mobility systems in joining Mobility as a Service platforms based on the idea of open innovation. The aim of the article is to analyze the factors influencing the limitations in the development of open innovations in the form of Mobility as a Service (MaaS) services. The authors focus on identifying the challenges and concerns faced by shared mobility service providers. The article supports the development of the concept of open innovation in shared mobility services. It also contains practical recommendations for the development of MaaS systems. The results of the developed research can be used by operators of shared mobility services, transport authorities, or IT service providers providing MaaS services to strengthen cooperation and integration using the language of mutual benefit.

Abstract In the use of internet networks that are general in nature need to implement an appropriate network configuration to maximize the use of internet connections provided by service providers. This is important for the optimal use of internet services and in accordance with utilities that are basically general and shared can be achieved. Per Connection Classifier is a load balancing method for distributing traffic loads to more than one network connection point in a balanced way, so that traffic can run optimally. This research focuses on network configuration methods to maximize internet usage for all users. Quality of Service is used to see the performance of network traffic which is indicated by the value of the parameter delay, throughput, and packet loss. Based on the results of testing and research that have been carried out before and after using load balancing per connection clasifier, the delay value is decreased from 180.26 ms to 148.36 ms and throughput increased from 1.76% to 2.03%, then packet loss decreased from 25.37% to 18.59% according to the TIPHON standard. Keywords: Quality of Service, Per Connection Classification, load balancing, delay, throughput, packet loss

The use of video conferencing technology is increasing due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bigbluebutton and jitsi are examples of open source video conferencing platforms that can be installed on their own servers. The server is created using a cloud-based virtual machine. Analysis of quality of service which includes delay, packet loss, throughput, and jitter is needed to determine the quality of service and the comparison of the two platforms. Observations were also made on the use of CPU, memory / RAM, and disk usage for each server. There are 3 test scenarios carried out. Each scenario is carried out on each existing VM specification. From this test, it is known that in the delay parameter, the highest bigbluebutton is obtained, which is 35,35 ms. And then the highest jitsi delay is 17,66 ms. In packet loss parameters, jitsi obtained the highest yield, namely 0,29%, while for bigbluebutton only 0,16% of packet loss was the highest. Throughput, bigbluebutton and jitsi all got very bad results. However, bigbluebutton obtained better results, namely, the highest throughput was 5.6%. While Jitsi obtained the highest throughput, namely 2,8%. Whereas for the jitter parameter, jitsi obtained 0,00 ms results on all tests in each VM. Meanwhile, bigbluebutton, get 0,1 ms on test 3 on VM 1
