TELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE GENERATION AND PROVISIONING FOR TRANSPORT NETWORKS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240040400 titled 'TELECOMMUNICATIONS INFRASTRUCTURE GENERATION AND PROVISIONING FOR TRANSPORT NETWORKS

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a method for defining a telecommunications network deployment for a specific geographic region. The network includes an access network, an edge network, and a core network. The method involves selecting a traffic category for each user equipment (UE) in the region and using an application traffic model to compute an upper threshold limit of an attainable data rate for each UE based on the selected traffic category. The method also determines the link capacity for each transport link that connects the UEs to the network based on the computed upper threshold limits. The performance of the network is then simulated using the determined link capacities, and if the resulting performance metrics meet a specified threshold, the determined link capacities are used to define the telecommunications network deployment for the region.

  • The method selects a traffic category for each UE in a geographic region.
  • An application traffic model is used to compute an upper threshold limit of an attainable data rate for each UE based on the selected traffic category.
  • The link capacity for each transport link connecting the UEs to the network is determined based on the computed upper threshold limits.
  • The performance of the network is simulated using the determined link capacities.
  • If the simulated performance metrics meet a specified threshold, the determined link capacities are used to define the telecommunications network deployment for the region.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Efficient deployment of telecommunications networks in specific geographic regions.
  • Optimization of network performance based on traffic categories and attainable data rates.
  • Simulating network performance to ensure it meets specified thresholds.

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Determining the appropriate traffic categories and attainable data rates for UEs in a geographic region.
  • Optimizing link capacities for transport links based on the computed upper threshold limits.
  • Simulating network performance to ensure it meets specified thresholds.

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved efficiency in deploying telecommunications networks.
  • Enhanced network performance based on traffic categories and attainable data rates.
  • Ability to simulate and optimize network performance before deployment.


Original Abstract Submitted

some embodiments of the invention provide a method for defining a telecommunications network deployment for a particular geographic region comprised of a set of sub-regions, the telecommunications network including an access network, an edge network and a core network. for each ue of multiple ues distributed across the particular geographic region, the method selects a traffic category from a set of traffic categories to associate with the ue, and based on the selected traffic category, the method uses an application traffic model to compute an upper threshold limit of an attainable data rate for the ue. for each link of multiple transport links that connect the multiple ues to the telecommunications network, the method determines a link capacity for each transport link based on the upper threshold limits of the attainable data rates computed for each ue of the multiple ues. the method simulates performance of the telecommunications network based on the determined link capacities for the multiple transport links. when a set of performance metrics resulting from simulating performance of the telecommunications network meet a performance threshold specified for the telecommunications network, the method uses the determined link capacities to define the telecommunications network deployment for the particular geographic region.
