Abstract:
1. A method for the prediction and optimization of a communications system comprising: inputting data from a plurality of channels into a prediction module of the communications system; predicting a performance of at least one of the plurality of channels using a plurality of parameters to characterize the performance of the at least one of the plurality of channels, wherein the parameters include a service type and bit error rate provided by a service provider; creating at least one transfer function model of the at least one of the plurality of channels, wherein the at least one transfer function model is simulated using physical configuration information of the communications system provided by the service provider; optimizing the parameters of at least one of the plurality of channels in order to improve a bit rate of the at least one of the plurality of channels in the communications system, wherein the optimizing uses an optimization module of a spectrum management system; and providing the optimized parameters to a line plant simulator, the line plant simulator providing feasibility results.
