Objective
The objective of the OPTIMISM proposal is to create novel methods enabling efficient and fast optimisation of 3G radio networks applying WCDMA technology. Proper cellular network optimisation plays a key role in radio network, whilst minimizing the operator expenditures required for equipment purchases.
This is especially important in view of present operators situation in Europe, where they spent billions of Euros on licences and thus costs reduction must be now made. The PROPOSER is going to focus on the key problems in CDMA network optimisation, i.e.: definition of the appropriate cost function, its complexity and need of efficient evaluation, the very large number of dimensions that must be optimised simultaneously as well as selection of proper optimisation strategies.
The chief idea behind the method for efficient cost function evaluation established already by the PROPOSER consists of transforming the original problem, into a reduced one, which is solved without loss of accuracy. This approach provides a tremendous reduction of the computational complexity (by a factor of about 10 to 100 times). All transformations and calculations shall be made analytically implementing the optimisation strategy, which seems to be the strength and advantage of this concept.
The PROPOSER is going to develop this method during his fellowship at King's College London in order to develop a complete optimisation methodology for efficient and precise trimming of the main parameters of the radio network. After completion of theoretical studies an effective numerical implementation of the developed algorithms shall be performed.
This research will provide the network planning tool vendors with new concepts for more efficient and useful optimisation software and the 3G operators the chance to minimise their operational costs. The scientific success of OPTIMISM project will contribute to a faster and wider 3G services expansion and growth.
