Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for defining a telecommunications network deployment for a particular geographic region, the telecommunications network including an access network, an edge network, and a core network. The method determines population density of UEs (user equipment) for the particular geographic region. Based on the determined population density, the method divides the particular geographic region into a set of sub-regions. For each sub-region in the set of sub-regions, the method simulates performance of the telecommunications network to explore multiple configurations for access nodes that connect UEs in the sub-region to the telecommunications network. Each configuration in the multiple configurations is defined based on population density of the sub-region. The method selects a particular configuration for access nodes from the multiple configurations for use in defining a deployment of the telecommunications network.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for evaluating a deployment of a telecommunications network for a particular geographic area, the telecommunications network including an access network, an edge network, and a core network. The method is performed through a user interface (UI). The method receives a selection to simulate performance of a particular deployment of the access network, the particular deployment including at least (1) configurations for multiple access nodes for providing end-users of the telecommunications network access to the telecommunications network and (2) configurations for multiple transport links that connect the multiple access nodes to the telecommunications network. The method displays a visualization of the particular deployment of the telecommunications network based on the simulated performance, the visualization including (1) representations of multiple components of the telecommunications network including the multiple access nodes, (2) representations of the multiple transport links, (3) indications of performance by the multiple components and the multiple transport links, and (4) a set of selectable UI items for modifying configurations of the multiple access nodes and multiple transport links.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for defining compute resource deployments in a telecommunications network for a particular geographic region, the telecommunications network including an access network, an edge network and a core network, the compute resources for consumption by a set of non-telephony applications that are deployed in the telecommunications network to provide multiple services for multiplicities of UEs (user equipment) connected to the telecommunications network in the particular geographic region. The method determines population density of UEs (user equipment) within the particular geographic region. For each non-telephony application in the set of non-telephony applications, the method uses the determined population density of UEs to identify (1) an amount of compute resources required for the non-telephony application to provide one or more respective services in the multiple services to a first multiple UEs, and (2) a set of locations in a non-core network at which to deploy the identified amount of compute resources for consumption by the non-telephony application. The method simulates performance of the telecommunications network for the particular geographic region based on the identified amounts and sets of locations of compute resources for each non-telephony application in the set of non-telephony applications. When a set of performance metrics resulting from simulating performance of the telecommunications network meet a set of performance metric thresholds specified for the telecommunications network, the method uses the identified amounts and sets of locations of compute resources for the set of non-telephony applications to define compute resource deployments for the telecommunications network.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a method for defining compute resource deployments in a telecommunications network for a particular geographic region divided into a set of sub-regions, the telecommunications network including an access network, an edge network and a core network, the compute resources for consumption by a set of non-telephony applications that are deployed in the telecommunications network to provide respective sets of services to multiplicities of UEs (user equipment) connected to the telecommunications network in the particular geographic region. For each sub-region in the set of sub-regions, the method defines multiple compute resource deployments for the telecommunications network, each compute resource deployment in the multiple compute resource deployments specifying a respective set of locations in non-core networks at which to deploy compute resources for consumption by the set of non-telephony applications based on respective application requirements associated with each non-telephony application in the set of non-telephony applications. For each sub-region in the set of sub-regions, for each compute resource deployment in the defined multiple compute resource deployments, the method simulates performance of the telecommunications network based on the compute resource deployment. The method uses sets of performance metrics resulting from simulating performance of the telecommunications network to select a particular compute resource deployment from the defined multiple compute resource deployments to deploy for the telecommunications network.
