摘要:
A method and apparatus for locating a Wi-Fi hotspot for offloading wireless traffic from a cellular network are disclosed. For example, the method obtains network traffic data for the second type of wireless access network for a geographical area, and obtains a list of sectors in the geographical area. The method selects at least one sector from the list of sectors to be relieved, and determines a geographical range for the at least one sector. The method then obtains at least one hotspot of the first type of wireless access network within the geographical range, wherein the at least one hotspot is a potential location for offloading the wireless traffic from the second type of wireless access network.

A method and apparatus for selecting a bandwidth option for a cell in a network are disclosed. For example, the method obtains, for the cell, network traffic data for a geographical area, and a physical characteristic of an antenna in the geographical area, determines busy time data traffic from the network traffic data, determines, for the cell, a cell range from the physical characteristic of the antenna, selects a bandwidth option from a plurality of bandwidth options, and determines an average throughput in accordance with the bandwidth option that is selected and the cell range.

摘要:
A link in a communications network is provisioned with a particular bandwidth capacity determined as a function of a “sub-par customer data fraction.” The sub-par data fraction is given by a) the amount of data transferred under sub-par condition divided by b) the total data transferred, where “sub-par condition” means that data is transferred below a given target bit rate.

A method and apparatus for forecasting busy hour traffic for a network are disclosed. For example, the method obtains actual traffic data for a seed time frame for each of one or more sectors in a given market and marketing projections for one or more forecast time frames for the given market, and determines a market traffic actual measure for the given market from the actual traffic data. The method obtains market traffic estimates from one or more previous runs, and updates the one or more market traffic estimates for the one or more forecast time frames beyond the seed time frame to obtain one or more updated market traffic estimates, wherein the updated market traffic estimates are used for forecasting the busy hour traffic data for each of the one or more forecast time frames beyond the seed time frame.

摘要:
A computer readable storage medium stores a set of instructions executable by a processor. The instructions are operable to receive a data set including data corresponding to a set of nodes, the data corresponding to each of the nodes including a node prize, a node cost, and a node value that is the difference between the node prize and the node cost; select one or more of the nodes for inclusion in a cluster, the cluster comprising the one or more of the nodes, two or more external links from nodes in the cluster to a network, and one or more internal links between nodes if the cluster comprises two or more nodes, each of the internal links having an internal link cost, each of the external links having an external link cost; and determine a plan for incorporating the one or more nodes in the cluster into the network, the incorporating comprising building the cluster by building the two or more external links and the one or more internal links.
