  • Network resource consolidation and decommissioning analysis
    Patent number: 8924555
    Abstract: A method and system for providing a computing environment that permits simulations directed towards the consolidation and decommissioning of network elements associated with a network. The computing environment permits a user to designate a network element for decommission and exclude a network element from decommission and/or consolidation. The computing environment includes consolidation and decommission analytics that minimize a total operational cost of the network including leased network elements. The consolidation and decommission analytics includes accounting for penalties associated with early termination of leases and break-even values.

  • Determining collocations with an access transport management system (ATMS)
    Patent number: 8570875
    Abstract: A device receives network configuration information from a network, determines a new capacity model of the network based on the network configuration information, and constructs a mixed integer programming (MIP) model based on the new capacity model. The device also calculates an optimal baseline solution, that minimizes network costs, using the mixed integer programming (MIP) model, performs a collocation optimization procedure on the optimal baseline solution to produce an optimal collocation solutions for the network, and provides the optimal network collocation solutions to the network for implementation.

  • Mixed integer programming model for minimizing leased access network costs
    Patent number: 8443079
    Abstract: A device receives network configuration information from a network, determines a logical network based on the network configuration information, and constructs a mixed integer programming (MIP) model based on the logical network. The device also calculates an optimal solution, which minimizes network costs, using the mixed integer programming (MIP) model, performs a post-optimization mapping procedure on the optimal solution to produce an optimal network configuration mapping, and outputs the optimal network configuration mapping for implementation.
