Traffic Engineering

CBOSSte is a distributed hardware/software complex designed for multi-aspect analysis of the network equipment performance.

System Operation

Basic tasks

  • Analysis of voice traffic dynamics
  • SS7 operation analysis
  • Network configuration planning
  • QoS management
  • Information on network resources for marketing purposes
  • Decision efficiency analysis

Main areas of analysis
  • Traffic – switch load, traffic distribution per route and destination, peak hour load, channel capacity, voice call QoS, useful load share, etc
  • SS7 – SS7 load, channel capacity, comprehensive SS7 operation analysis. Efficiency and reliability of signaling data exchange in telecom networks.
  • Equipment – traffic distribution across main network nodes (base stations, base station controllers, switches).

The set of data marts may be expanded to comply with telco’s analytical demands.

Key Features

  • General and itemized reports on the network performance
  • Forecasting
  • Optimization of network parameters to maintain QoS
  • Tabular, graphical and combined (spreadsheet + chart) data presentation
  • Data export to other applications (e.g. Microsoft Office)
  • Support of multiple switch models.

Integration

CBOSSmdCDR Automatic CDR Collection System as well as a third party solution may be used to load statistics from the switch.

Benefits

  • Real-time processing of any analytical query (most convenient for end users)
  • Flexible data manipulation: rich itemization capabilities enabled by hierarchical dimensions
  • Usability: no special skills required to create queries
  • Regular network operation monitoring, assessment of telecom equipment performance and reliability
  • Efficient short- and long-term forecasting featuring different prediction algorithms and parameters, value behavior models and enabling sound decisions on further network development and equipment profile.
