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.
