Abstract

In Nigeria today, we face a serious economic challenge which is as a result of our swindling primary source of revenue (oil), there is fear amongst our economists which is can Nigeria bounce back to what she once was? Can there be an alternative source to serve as a buffer to what we already have. This study aims to bring to prime focus, an industry which has begun blooming in the background. Despite the publicity and popularity enjoyed by today’s telecom giants in the country, there is very little knowledge pertaining to the tremendous impact that it has had directly or indirectly on our economy over the years. Since the liberalization of the telecom industry that brought about the involvement of private investors into the sector, the opportunities and revenues generated has brought about a tremendous effect on the economy. The telecom sector is only second after the oil and gas industry in the amount of finance it contributes to the federal account. This paper discusses some of the value chains, opportunities, revenue that the telecom industry has brought to Nigeria. It uses data obtained from relevant authorities.

Abstract

Increasing requirements for scalability and elasticity of data storage for web applications has made Not Structured Query Language NoSQL databases more invaluable to web developers. One of such NoSQL Database solutions is Redis. A budding alternative to Redis database is the SSDB database, which is also a key-value store but is disk-based. The aim of this research work is to benchmark both databases (Redis and SSDB) using the Yahoo Cloud Serving Benchmark (YCSB). YCSB is a platform that has been used to compare and benchmark similar NoSQL database systems. Both databases were given variable workloads to identify the throughput of all given operations. The results obtained shows that SSDB gives a better throughput for majority of operations to Redis’s performance.

Abstract

The two main aims of deploying multiple input multiple out (MIMO) are to achieve spatial diversity (improves channel reliability) and spatial multiplexing (increase data throughput). Achieving both in a given system is impossible for now, and a trade-off has to be reached as they may be conflicting objectives. The basic concept of multiplexing: divide (multiplex) transmit a data stream several branches and transmit via several (independent) channels. In this paper, we focused mainly on achieving spatial multiplexing by modeling the channel using the diagonal Bell Labs space time scheme (D-BLAST) and the vertical Bell Labs space time architecture (V-BLAST) Matlab simulations results were a lso given to further compare the advantages of spatial multiplexing.

Abstract

This study shows how the network performance of a flat switch network in the main library complex of Ambrose Ali University (AAU), Ekpoma can greatly be improved by logical segmentation. A survey of the flat switch network of the library complex was carried out to ascertain the physical and logical topology of the network and the number of hosts and network devices available. The kind of traffic transmitted over the network was also considered. Riverbed Modeler Academic Edition was used to simulate two replicas of the library network. One of the simulated networks was logically segmented by implementing Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN). Statistics like traffic dropped, traffic forwarded, traffic received, broadcast traffic dropped and traffic sent in bits/sec or packets/sec were collected from both simulations and the results were analyzed and compared. The results from the simulations showed that the application of VLAN immensely enhanced the network performance by about 75%(depending on the size of the network) because the logical segmentation increased the number of broadcast domain while reducing each of the broadcast size. This further implied that poor network design and large broadcast domain in a network, gravely affect the performance of a network.
