Abstract:
A method and apparatus for simulating a modification to or expansion of a communications network and for determining whether the simulated modified or expanded network meets cost criteria. First logic forecasts an increase in network traffic. Second logic simulates a modification to or expansion of the network based on the forecasted increase in network traffic and/or based on performance improvement criteria and/or based on coverage expansion criteria. Third logic determines whether the simulated modified or expanded network meets cost criteria.
