Managing mobile communication network for performance

Abstract

This paper presents a management model for handling performance degradation of cellular mobile network due to service failure of an entire or partial cell. It provides a simple and practical method for deployment of performance management control functions. The model consists of monitoring, analysing, controlling and tracing phases. The criteria and activities in each phase are discussed. The management model described is useful for predictable long-term traffic jamming of a single cell or cluster of cells.
