Abstract :
This paper proposes to use operational tool in addition to optimization tools in network planning. Thus, the proposed approach takes into account not only network planning objectives but also operational constraints and company policies during the network planning process. As a result, network evolution can globally be optimized by including additional network cost, migration cost, operational cost, etc.
