The most significant scientific achievements:

  1. Formation of the general structure of the theory of telecommunication systems, its mathematical foundations, directions of filling and development on the basis of principles and postulates of the general theory of systems and the concept of “System policy rules”. Construction of a system of mathematical models of telecommunication systems that adequately reflect their structural and functional characteristics.
  2. Development of symplectic multidimensional TCS models for the estimation of connectivity, structural complexity and heterogeneity.
  3. Development of differential stochastic models of TCS reflecting the dynamics of changes in the state of network elements, network fragments or systems in general, allowing to evaluate such properties of TCS as controllability, stability, optimality, etc.
  4. Tensor models of TCS, which provide the possibility of an invariant representation of the system as a whole and processes in it, for solving traffic control tasks, including routing and fast re-routing, traffic profiling and network resource reservation with quality of service provision according to a set of network performance (NP) and QoE indicators.
  5. Methods of adaptive space-time processing of signals in a complex signal-to-noise-and-interference situation in mobile communication systems based on antenna arrays implementation. Methods of introducing Smart-antenna technology in mobile and wireless access systems. Models and methods of multi-station multiple access based on the active use of space, polarization, and time physical resources of mobile communication systems.
  6. Techniques and methods of providing electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) in dual situations and grouping of electronic devices. Methods of providing EMC adapted to wireless systems and 3G and 4G networks. Proposals on modernization of selecting operating modes and design of antennas.
  7. Methods of ensuring the efficient use of Bluetooth, DECT, Wi-Fi, Wi-MAX, LTE systems for subscriber radio access systems toward the implementation of adaptive POFR, MIMO systems.
  8. Development of proposals for implementation of the Fixed-Mobile Communication (FMS) concept, fully optical systems, the concept of Next Generation Networking (NGN) and further development of the 4G, IMS and SOA platform.
