Patent ID: 7308268

Claim:
A method for simulating and optimising the operating resources available in a coverage area of a mobile telephone network consisting of a set of zones of influence, called cells, of a plurality of transmitters/receivers, called servers, whose operating resources depend on the transmission of data sets, called packets, required by at least one communicating mobile terminal, called the applicant terminal, present in their zone of influence, wherein, firstly, it is implemented by processing resources of at least one resource optimisation system and, secondly, it includes the following stages: definition, by an event-management module of the optimisation system, of a variation, called a perturbation, of at least one transmission of packets required within the network, where this perturbation is determined from at least one statistical distribution map held in storage resources of the optimisation system and including data that represent the data packet transmissions of a plurality of mobile terminals present in a given geographical zone during a given time-slice, selection of a set of cells that includes at least the cell in which the perturbation occurs, and that defines a simulated zone within the distribution map by means of an operating-resource control module, and then use of a routing algorithm, ran by the operational control module, to determine a routing path of the simulated zone, and to successively optimise the resources of the servers covering the successive cells on the routing path, definition, by the event-management module of data that represent at least one parameter relating to the transmission of the packets within each of the cells in the simulated zone, from amongst at least parameters of time-multiplexing of the packet, code-multiplexing of the packet, and power required.
