Wireless Methods: Wireless Network Dimensioning and Strategy Development Through Computational Techniques - Softcover
Synopsis
“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you into trouble. It’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so. “ – Mark Twain. Network dimensioning is an essential part of a process undertaken by mobile network operators to evaluate business plans, marketing initiatives, the effectiveness of new technologies, wireless strategies and the acquisition of spectrum assets. Engineers tasked in developing a method for network dimensioning typically do not refer to the scientific research underpinning modern communication theory. Instead, they typically analyze operational measurements provided by the network equipment manufacturer and then develop a simple method based on heuristics in order to predict, for example, how many new base stations are required in future years or how much additional spectrum is required. Challenging the applicability of these simple methods is difficult because they are based on seemingly simple common-sense principles. This is where the above quote from Mark Twain becomes relevant. Just because a particular method appeals to common sense, doesn’t mean it’s correct. And, it is more than just academic interest, as billions of dollars of worth in investment decisions are influenced by assumptions that are often taken for granted. After spending several decades investigating wireless network strategies for two leading mobile network operators, the author has developed an alternative method for network dimensioning using a stochastic computer algorithm. Although some may argue that the algorithm resembles Monte Carlo simulations, the book develops several ideas that make Monte Carlo simulation practical for the purpose of network dimensioning. After describing the development of the alternative method, the author then uses it to analyze several problems that have perplexed the industry for many years.
