Abstract
We will be working on the following problems where graph theory meets telecommunication networks: visualization of telecommunication networks; search for topologies of fault-tolerant networks; encoding of data which enables error detection and correction, so ensuring reliable data transfer; data routing and search for the shortest paths between nodes of a telecommunication network; the problem of frequencies assignment to radio transmitters.
To aid visualization of graphs and discovering their various properties we will develop a software tool in the Java language. The tool will consist of two modules. The first one will be designed for generating and constructing graphs, and will enable various labellings of nodes. The second module will be designed for a graph visualization, including screen projections of graphs described in multidimensional spaces, possibilities for interactive rotating of projected graph, and observing various properties.
In the context of data routing in telecommunication networks we will be engaged in research on various important metric and topological properties of graphs.
In the area of data encoding with the capability of error detection and correction we plan to consider connections between the Gray codes, state graphs of the generalized towers of Hanoi graphs and their generalizations, the so-called Sierpinski graphs.
The problem of frequency assignment to radio transmitters will be treated using graph theory in the case where all the transmitters are of the same type and the signal propagation is isotropic.
