Abstract

Accurate dimensioning of signaling capacity is decisive for the efficient operation of mobile telecommunication networks. In this paper, an automatic optimization algorithm for adaptation of permanent signaling resources in GSM/GPRS is proposed, which is based on statistical measurements of signaling and call traffic. Analysis of real network indicators demonstrates that overall revenue losses caused by blocking effects may be greatly minimized.
