Abstract Most of the controllers used in industries are of PID type, this is because they have simple structure and their usage is well known among industrial specialists. The tuning of controllers is the crucial issue in the overall control loop design in order to obtain a satisfactory performance response. Over the past decades many tuning techniques were developed to adjust the controller parameters. Most of these techniques have the disadvantages of giving a combination of heavy oscillatory response, large overshoot, and long settling and rise time. This work presents a fuzzy logic-PID scheme, the basic concept behind this scheme is to combine the conventional PID controller with the use of fuzzy logic concept. The PID controller regulates the process, while the fuzzy logic part adjusts the proportional gain of the controller. This scheme will be used to overcome the previous disadvantages and to improve the performance of the conventional controller. The effectiveness of fuzzy logic-PID scheme has been analyzed through computer simulation using MATLAB. The results have been compared with those of Ziegler-Nichols, Chien-Hrones-Reswick, Cohen-Coon, Optimum PID controller and a PID with constant and variable weighting factor. This comparison has shown a considerable improvement in the performance of the transient response for different simulated processes

In this paper, we present an analytical traffic model for the Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems (UMTS). In 3G networks we have dynamic capacity that depends on the interference levels in the covered area and the number of active users. This implies that the distance of the mobile user from the base station is also an important factor because of the signal fading. The first part of this paper is an algorithm written in c++ programming language that distributes users in different zones assuming that the cell area is virtually divided into Z zones depending on the number of users. The last part of this paper we build a mathematical model of a 3G cell using the above assumption , and to prove, that the product form holds in the case of two cells with uniform and non uniform traffic. By this result more complicated networks can be analyzed, to calculate the performance measures of the network.

In this paper, we present a simulation model for the Universal Mobile Telecommunication Systems (UMTS). For validation purposes, we have developed a much more detailed simulation of the system written in C language. The results of a previous mathematical model showed that, the product form holds in the case of two cells, and the objective of this paper is to prove the same result using simulation, and to show that the behavior of the system is similar to that in the previous work done in the mathematical model. Once the product form of Jackson's Theorem is Shown to hold, then it is possible to go to a more advanced stage to analyze the 3G network, and to get the performance measures, which will help in making decisions at the design stage
