Wireless networks, including IEEE 802.11-based or Wi-Fi networks, are inexpensive and easy to install and therefore serve as useful connectivity alternatives in areas lacking wired-network infrastructure. However, IEEE 802.11 networks may not always provide the seamless connectivity and minimal throughput required for Industry 4.0 communications be...
The development of advanced telecommunication technologies means also the development of Telecommunication Services (TS). For the users to be able to use TS, the telecommunication operators need to deliver the user network equipment (UNE), router and digital receiver, which have to be periodically replaced. Depending on the availability, the provis...
The Industry 4.0 is experiencing significant challenges, including the need for an increased amount of data transmission with improved security, transparency and credibility. The 5th Generation Mobile Network (5G) and Blockchain are innovative emerging technologies that can respond to these needs. 5G will enable extremely large channel capacities a...
Mobile phones are recognized as a primary platform for mitigating the digital divide and increasing economic growth, and the same appears to be true for Nigeria, the largest economy in Africa. Since 2012, mobile phone penetration has shown nearly linear growth, reaching 83% in 2016. However, this statistic falls to only 46% after correcting for own...

Measuring evolution of cell phone plan prices and quality is an important issue on the rapidly developing mobile market. This is because certain cell phone plans can’t be directly compared because of different technological characteristics. On the other hand, most of the statistical parameters published by statistical offices are in the form of ind...
This paper presents a mathematical model for estimating total cost of ownership (TCO) of residential post-paid cell phone plans for mobile services in order to predict TCO over time. Several cost drivers of TCO are quantified, including calls, messaging, data transfers, and the choice of time unit for billing calls. The model may help analysts and...

Smartphones represent a relevant factor in accessing information and communication networks. The number of new ICT services and applications is continually growing. A wide population of users having different user demands is using smartphones in their everyday life.
The key objective of this research is to analyze possible scenarios of smartphone usage and the usage of related ICT services depending on the different smartphone user groups.
Main predicted costs are related to development of the supervisory measurement system made of sets of smartphone devices and applications for tracking user’s behavior, and the application for processing collected data.
The expected scientific contribution is the establishment of the new model for identification of user’s behavior and prediction of user’s future behavior. This model will contribute to the development of human potentials and to better equipment of devices according to the specific user needs.
