Abstract

Mobile data traffic usage is on the rise and mobile network carriers wish to upgrade their networks in such a way that they will be able to keep up with rising demand. Before they do any real work on their mobile network they wish to check how any upgrades to the network would behave. This is where network models and simulations come into play. In the thesis before you we show an example of building such a model. While doing so, we focus exclusively on data traffic. The model is based on a real life example of mobile cell located in the valley of Bohinjsko jezero and ski resort Vogel. Model input values are based on valley population and ski resort visit rates. We run four simulations. Throughput on network devices and medium broadband is roughly calculated from previously mentioned input values before running the first simulation. Through the course of running all of the further simulations, we adjust appropriate model values so that we do away with found choke-points. In the end, we find out what throughputs on network devices and what medium broadband is needed so that the user experience is adequate.
