Description:
- Developed forecasts of the network load for capacity planning and optimization of a BWA/WLL network
Responsibilities:
- Replaced an existing set of traffic forecast models with a set that was easier to handle and more reliable
- Developed separate models for:
* Traffic generation per region (based on marketing forecasts) for voice and data traffic
* Traffic distribution over different core network topology scenarios
* Interconnect traffic based on different POI location scenarios
- Applied the on various markets, e.g. UK, Germany, Belgium, Switzerland
- Trained staff to use and run the models
Duration:
- 11 months
Client:
- Firstmark – Germany, UK, Belgium, Switzerland, Spain
Description:
- Developed an end-to-end traffic modeling toolset –based on MSExcel and including a drag and drop interface for quick and easy changes
Responsibilities:
- Developed a technology-agnostic set of models for:
* Traffic generation per area for voice and data traffic
* Traffic distribution over different core network topologies
* Access network optimization for different technologies (e.g. leased lines, microwave, DSL)
- Provided a network planning guide in from of a handbook
- Supported deployment teams within WFI Engineering on projects (e.g. dark fiber study for New York area)
Duration:
- 5 months
Client:
- WFI Consulting – Internal Project
Description:
- Applied the Traffic Modeling Toolset to reduce the of number of MSC/BSC sites
Responsibilities:
- Used the WFI Traffic Modeling Toolset to help optimize the transmission network for the Western Region (CA, NV) which originally had:
* 45 locations
* 60+ MSCs
* 120+ BSCs
- Important factors to be considered were:
* current traffic distribution
* future traffic distribution (via a developed gravity model)
* customers moving on & off the network (an MVNO was moving onto another infrastructure)
* voice and IP (GPRS, EDGE, WLAN) traffic, how it was routed and interconnected
Duration:
- 5 months
Client:
- T-Mobile – Western Region of the US
