Method and system for planning a telecommunications network

摘要

A method and system for planning a future telecommunications network from an existing telecommunications network interconnecting a plurality of users utilizes an input device for determining future demands for the future telecommunications network. A processor then determines future characteristics of a plurality of loops connecting each of the users to a central office based on the future demands. Future characteristics of a plurality of transports connecting each of the central offices is determined based on the future demands. The processor then determines future characteristics of switches disposed in each of the central offices based on the future characteristics of the plurality of loops and the plurality of transports. Future characteristics of common systems disposed within each of the central offices is determined based on the future characteristics of the switches. The future telecommunications network can then be planned based on the future characteristics of the plurality of loops, the plurality of transports, the switches, and the common systems.
