Patent number: 8554234Abstract: A method of automatic calibration in which the simulation adapts itself to more closely resemble the actual network is provided. For a given network architecture and a probabilistic customer usage profile a simulation provides an estimate of key performance metrics. These simulated metrics are compared against actual measurements from the network. To the extent that they do not match within a prescribed tolerance, an iterative adaptive calibration procedure is used to perturb slightly the probabilistic model of network usage.Type: GrantFiled: June 26, 2008Date of Patent: October 8, 2013Assignee: Telcordia Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gregory P.

Patent number: 8385940Abstract: A MOAF algorithm is used to resize cells for balancing capacity. The MOAF algorithm bases its decision on a cell and all other cells which the algorithm decides are sufficiently close in a propagation sense to affect the results. The MOAF algorithm also automatically determines those cells in an area which are most heavily loaded and those cells which are lightly loaded. The MOAF algorithm will only decrease the size of a cell if it determines specific adjacent cells that are willing and able to accept the load, and the MOAF algorithm will increase the size of a cell only if there is a nearby heavily loaded cell that requires the removal of load. Moreover, the MOAF algorithm can be tuned (via the threshold parameter T) to shift the focus of the optimization from avoidance of coverage holes to the avoidance of creation of excessive handover legs.Type: GrantFiled: February 23, 2011Date of Patent: February 26, 2013Assignee: Telcordia Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Gregory P.

Patent number: 8315966Abstract: A system and method provides a solution to the problem of applying end-to-end requirements of connectivity, security, reliability and performance to configure a network and ultimately assign network components to the network. All requirements are modeled as constraints and a constraint solver does the resolution. Not every constraint to be solved is solved by the model-finder. Instead, we “factor away” subsets of a constraint that can be efficiently solved via a special-purpose constraint solver, such as an SQL/Prolog engine, linear programming system, or even an algorithm, leaving behind a constraint that truly requires the power of model-finding, and that is often efficiently solvable by existing model-finders. Such constraints are compiled into quantifier-free constraints that are Boolean combinations of constraints of two forms x=y and x=c where x, y are variables and c is a constant. Such constraints can be efficiently solved by modern SAT-based model-finders.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2008Date of Patent: November 20, 2012Assignee: Telcordia Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Sanjai Narain, Gary Levin, Vikram Kaul, Rajesh Talpade

Patent number: 8145236Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a secure localization infrastructure using transmitters that can transmit messages at multiple distinct power levels throughout a community of reference points. Transmitters send messages at different power levels in a manner that every location in the system corresponds to a unique set of messages. Received messages are reported back to the localization infrastructure, which then determines location by comparing the messages reported.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2008Date of Patent: March 27, 2012Assignees: Toshiba America Research, Inc., Telcordia Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Abhrajit Ghosh, Vikram Kaul, David Famolari

Publication number: 20090029651Abstract: Performance optimization of mobile wireless communication networks is complex and typically requires extensive offline modeling and simulation prior to deploying changes that may have unforeseen adverse effects on the live customer network. It is necessary to calibrate the simulation model against the actual network at a level of fidelity such that the engineer is confident that the simulation's response to network changes accurately reflects the results that would be experienced if those changes were deployed in an actual live network. This process is typically quite time consuming and requires significant case-by-case insight into the workings of the actual network as well as the simulation model. We have invented a method of automatic calibration in which the simulation adapts itself to more closely resemble the actual network. For a given network architecture and a probabilistic customer usage profile a simulation provides an estimate of key performance metrics.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 26, 2008Publication date: January 29, 2009Applicant: TELCORDIA TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Gregory P.
